Chennault Squadron - Jan 2011
(Featured in photo Maj. Victor Santana briefing cadets during SAREX 2011)
The Gen. Claire L. Chennault Senior Squadron hosted a training SAREX (Search And Rescue EXercise) on February 26, 2011. MAJ Keith Anderson and State Director, John Z Zaremba, were on hand for the training exercise that included 11 air sorties and Shreveport cadet ground teams. Photography and Recon training were the primary mission objectives. We wanted to maintain an absolute safe atmosphere during these operations, commented 2LT James Breaux, safety officer. LTC Charles Smith acted as Incident Commander, and Capt. John Benton filled the gaps and questions that appear during training and real life scenarios. MAJ Andersons busy day included a scanner course for Mrs. Gerald Dean and S/M Paula B Webb and others. Mrs. Webb so was impressed with her first CAP training flight that she is shopping for a plane now. John Z Zaremba seemed to be everywhere, observing and giving encouragement. His input at morning briefing, mission assignments, and mission debriefings was much appreciated. We were not perfect, said CPT Elvis Stout, Commander of The Gen. Claire L. Chennault Senior Squadron, but our local squadron turned out at an 85% participation rate, and we had 5 Chennault mission pilots on hand. We were safe, the mission was successful, the food was great, and we plan to be a SAREX host squadron again soon.
