At its September meeting the National Board of Civil Air Patrol, In-corporated, a volunteer civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force,adopted a complete revision of the Constitution and By-Laws which pro-vided for a number of changes in the corporate structure of Civil Air Patrol.The primary purpose of the reorganization action was to increase adminis-trative efficiency.

The National Commander was made a corporate officer and a memberof both the National Board and the National Executive Committee. Provisionwas made for the appointment, by the Chairman of the National Board, ofa principal corporate officer within each region to be called the RegionalCommander. The regional commander is the National Executive Committeemember from his region and is the representative of the National Com-mander in his region. The eight regional headquarters have been removedfrom administrative channels, and direct communication is now authorizedbetween the 52 CAP wings and National Headquarters for both commandand administrative matters.

Thus, the National Executive Committee is composed of the Chairmanof the National Board, the National Commander, the eight regional com-manders (one of whom is elected by the body as Vice-Chairman), the Na-tional Legal Officer, and the National Finance Officer. The National Execu-tive Committee is now vested with all the powers of the National Boardexcept the power to amend the Constitution and By-Laws and to elect theChairman of the National Board.

The National Board, under the revised By-Laws, is composed of all wingcommanders and the members of the National Executive Committee.

Other significant changes effected under the revised By-Laws are theestablishment of:

(a) A national committee for the nomination of the Chairman ofthe National Board;

(b) A fair and impartial appeal board system; and(c) Advisory councils at both national and regional levels composed

of members selected from among those who have formerly held keypositions in Civil Air Patrol. T

Y E A R O F P R O G R E S SThis was a year of advancement in several aspects:

Cadet strength grew by more than 5,000. Participation in special activit ies was generally more selective. Overall administration showed improvement.

CADET MEMBERSHIP An affiliation between Optimist International and CAP was begun withthe Optimist organization officially endorsing the CAP youth programand encouraging their club members to actively interest themselves inthe program. A number of Optimist Clubs sponsored CAP squadrons.

IOnly holders of the CAP Certificate of Proficiency are eligible for the

special cadet activities which serve as incentive awards as well as indoctri-nation in several aspects of the national aerospace education program.The addition of special regional summer courses to the six national specialactivities gave more outstanding cadets the opportunity to participate inadvanced youth education. T

Cadet and cadette** membership eligibility age was established at 13 asthe minimum, regardless of school grade attending; this increased thecadet membership potential.

The National Commander's visit to South America during the year re-sulted in the addition of Argentina and Ecuador to the annual CAP Inter-national Air Cadet Exchange.As the Civil Air Patrol's youth program gathered momentum during

1962,national aerospace education leaders revised texts, bringing them upto date with the changing times. The cadets, as before, were reqiured topass various phases in their general training and aerospace education. Theultimate goal is the Certificate of Proficiency (COP), obtained after suc-cessful completion of courses over a period normally taking from 18 to 24months.

A cadet holding a COP from Civil Air Patrol may enlist in the Air Forceas an Airman Third Class, skipping the basic pay grade.

Seniors also are encouraged to take the aerospace education coursesand earn their Certificate of Proficiency. In 1962, there were 1,911 COP'sawarded to cadets. Senior members earned 201.

S P E C I A L A C T I V I T I E S F O R C A D E T SThe CAP International Air Cadet Exchange (lACE)

For the first time, MATS C-135 jets were used to transport the CAPcadets and their escorts to Europe during the 1962 lACE, returning withtheir European and Middle East counterparts. Flying time was shortenedby 60 per cent. Twenty-five cadets were exchanged with Great Britain.Canada reduced the number of exchangees from twenty-five to fifteen. Thetotal number of Exchange participants including escorts was 348.The European cadets arrived in New York a day early due to the shorterflying time on jet aircraft. The Canadians and South Americans joined themon July 20. While in New York, the cadets spent three days at The Waldorf-Astoria. They had a boat trip around Manhattan Island, saw a Radio CityMusic Hall show, visited the United Nations, attended a military ball intheir honor at The Wa Idorf-Astoria Starl ight Roof, and were guests at anInternational Dinner Party given annually by Lt. Col. Gene Leone, CAP.

Ten-Day Visit to StatesOn July 23, they were flown to their host wings for a ten-day visit asguests of local CAP units. Within the various states the foreign visitorsbecame acquainted with American life firsthand by spending part of theirtime in private homes, visiting local and historical points of interest, flyingin CAP light aircraft and gliders, and participating in recreational activities.They also met officials of city and state governments.

Visit to Nation's CapitalOn August 4, they were flown to Washington, D. C., for a four-day tourof the city; the highlight was a visit with President Kennedy at The WhiteHouse.

Wings Host Foreign CadetsThe lACE is Civil Air Patrol's most extensive cadet special activity and

over the past 15 years has made a significant contribution to internationalfellowship, good will, and understanding. The Exchange is conducted frommid-July to mid-August each year. Host wings in 1962, the fifteenth 'Ex-change, were:Host WingNewMexicoIndianaTexasOregonNorth CarolinaMaineMinnesotaMichiganWisconsinMassachusettsSouth Carolina

Meanwhile, CAP cadets were enjoying similar visits in the countrieshosting them. Those visiting Great Britain participated in the observance ofthe Air Training Corps' twenty-first anniversary by performing precision drillroutines. They presented the ATC, British counterpart of CAP, with a bannercommemorating the occasion.Rhein/ Main Air Base at Frankfort, Germany, is the assembly point forall CAP and European-Middle East cadets. The Rhein/Main Air Base Com-mander was host to the entire group-together for the first time-at aninternational banquet. The following day the foreign cadets were flown to

New York while the CAP Exchange guests were joined by small groups ofEuropean and Middle East cadets (Inter-European Exchange) just prior todeparture for their host countries.In te rregiona l ExchangesTwo cadettes per wing were exchanged between regions or toured wingswithin their own region for various periods during the summer months.These trips permitted cadettes to participate in an aerospace-oriented pro-gram to familiarize them with aerospace facilities in other states or sec-tions of the country and to learn more about CAP in other wings.Natio n al D rill C ompetit io nOn August 8, the United States Air Force Academy Court of Honor wasthe scene of 11 young team captains putting their CAP drill teams throughvarious maneuvers during the 1962 National Drill Competition. The 275 par-ticipating cadets had, in three days, already toured the Academy; viewedthe U. S. Army's mountain climbing demonstration at Fort Carson; visitedthe Garden of the Gods, near Colorado Springs; and had a chuck-wagondinner at a nearby ranch. The trophy winners, announced at the NationalDrill Competit ion Banquet, were: Michigan, first place (this team also tooktop honors in the National VFW-sponsored Drill Competition in 1962); Penn-sylvania, second; and the National Capital Wing, third. Alaska and UtahWing teams were awarded the two sportsmanship trophies.Summe r Encampment s

In 1962,33 Air Force bases hosted 7,773cadets and 881 seniors at forty9-day to 14-dayencampments. This represents an increase of approximately1,000cadets over 1961.CAP encampment sites are now programed five yearsahead by USAF.J et O rie nta tio n Cour seThe Jet Orientation Course is the oldest of the four incentive programsconducted on Air Force bases by Air Force personnel for Civil Air Patrolcadets. It was held at Perrin Air Force Base, Texas, June 24-29, and thebase provided academic and orientation instruction for 52 honor cadetsfrom 47 wings. Cadets were given flight instruction in the T-33 jet trainer,and all flew two to three "missions" in the aircraft under the guidance ofAir Force flight instructors.Aer os pa ce Age O rie nta tio n Cour se

The Aerospace Age Orientation Course was held at Maxwell Air ForceBase, Alabama, August 5-11. Indoctrination in the medical, administrative,and technical opportunities for women in aviation and in the Air Force wasgiven to 48 cadettes from 36 wings. They also made orientation flights inMATS transports and jet aircraft. The AAOC is the only honor course forgirls.S pa ce A ge O rie nta tio n C ou rs e

Conducted at Chanute Air Force Base, Illinois, under the auspices ofthe Air Training Command, the Space Age Orientation Course taught 51cadets from 47 wings the basic theories of rocket propulsion and missileguidance and control systems. The course was held August 26-September l.Federa l A via tio n Agency O rie nta tio n Cour se

The Federal Aviation Agency Training Center at Oklahoma City, Okla-homa, conducted this course for 48 cadets from 42 wings, July 29-August 4.They received instruction in ground control approach and control towerprocedures, weather, air traffic control, and the many other aspects of theFAA system.

The banquet was attended by 755 persons, including 121 U. S. senatorsand representatives. Others were distinguished American and British AirForce officers, civilian aviation dignitaries, and CAP commanders and mem-bers from the 52 wings. The banquet honored jointly the Congress of theUnited States and the youth of Civil Air Patrol.President Kennedy Receives Cadets

Although unable to attend, President John F. Kennedy received thecadet representatives at The White House the morning of the banquet,was awarded a life membership in CAP, and sent a message of greetingto the assembly which was read by General Carl A. Spaatz, USAF (Ret.),general chairman of the banquet. General Spaatz was Chairman of the CAPNational Board for almost 10 years after his retirement as Chief of Staff,USAF.National Commander Reports to Congress

Present also was Senator Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), the first Secretaryof the Air Force, who gave the Congress' response to the CAP 1961 annualreport presented by Colonel Paul C. Ashworth, USAF, CAP National Com-mander. Keynote speaker was General Frederic H. Smith, Jr., Air Force ViceChief of Staff. Master of ceremonies was Milton Caniff, creator of the"Steve Canyon" syndicated cartoon strip and staunch supporter of Civil AirPatrol and the Air Force."What Civil Air Patrol Means to Me"

Honor cadets had been selected from each of the 52 CAP wings toattend the banquet and sat at their wing tables. Two additional cadets wereat the head table: Cadette Captain Mary E. McCall of Dover, Delaware,who addressed the banquet on "What Civil Air Patrol Means to Me," andCadet James Ronald Aaron of China Lake, California, who received theBronze Medal of Valor for heroism from General Spaatz for his action inhelping save a CAP pilot in a March 1962 aircraft crash.

These honor cadets were in the group that met President Kennedyearlier in the day. Cadette McCall presented the President with a plaquesignifying his honorary life membership in CAP.First Banquet Since 1958

This was the first time since 1958 that Civil Air Patrol had honored theCongress with a banquet. Banquets had previously been held at two-yearintervals. The first congressional dinner, with the 48 state wing commandersof that era as hosts, was held on March 1, 1946, exactly four months beforeCAP was chartered by the 79th Congress as a private corporation, and twoyears before the 80th Congress made CAP a volunteer civilian auxiliary ofthe U. S. Air Force.

The next congressional banquet is tentatively scheduled for 1966 whenCivil Air Patrol will observe its 25th anniversary. T

Canadian, Mexican Border SearchesAuthority for Civil Air Patrol to operate in the "fringe areas" across theborders of Mexico and Canada was granted in December. The request forthe National Executive Committee to grant this authority came from theAir Rescue Service, USAF. Such across-the-border operations requirespecific Air Rescue Center authorization to extend a search area across theborder.

This decision brings Civil Air Patrol more in line with the NationalSearch and Rescue Plan, which provides for cooperation between theUnited States, Canada, and Mexico. Diplomatic protection and FederalEmployee Compensation Act coverage will only apply to "official USAFmissions."

Effectiveness TestsSeventy-nine wing effectiveness tests were conducted by USAF evalua-tion teams during the year to measure CAP capabilities to conduct searchand rescue and Civil Defense missions. A total of 3,575 sorties and 6,925hours were flown by CAP aircrews during these exercises. Approximately9,100 senior members and 6,750 cadets participated.Reserve Officer Participation

Reserve officer participation with the Civil Air Patrol has been increas-ing at an annual rate of about 5,000 man-hours since 1960. During this year,368 reservists assisted CAP a total of 24,099 man-hours, compared to 325reservists participating in 19,211 hours during 1961-an increase of 20 per-cent. This is significant since CAP has a shortage of qualified academicinstructor personnel and Reserve resources can provide qualified people.The CAP Chaplaincy

Seventy-six civilian clergymen joined CAP as chaplains during the year,bringing the total now in service to 1,102. They represent most faiths anddenom inations.CAP-CD Agreements

All but two of the 52 wings now have written agreements with stateCivil Defense agencies. These agreements are patterned after a sampleagreement developed by the National Headquarters which was 'acceptableto the Office of Civilian and Defense Mobilization. The two wings that wereunable to negotiate written agreements are working with Civil- Defenseunder verbal agreements and are continuing their efforts to negotiate thewritten agreement.Communications

A new frequency (26.62 mcs) has been added to the CAP authorizationto further improve short-range communications.

Total number of licensed CAP radio stations is approximately 14,000,and active participation has increased substantially. A series of nationwidetests was begun in 1962 in order to evaluate the capability of the CAPradio net to support the Air Force Dispersal, Aircraft Recovery, and Re-constitution Plan. T

bership, pilots, aircraft, communications, Land Rescue Teams, aerospaceeducation, and emergency planning and training for support of Civil Defenseand the Air Force Reserve Recovery Program. Each wing has been assigneda share of the national goal, in most cases, according to population, FAA-rated pilots, and aircraft. The evaluation system compares individual wingsin selected areas with all other wings. The Long-Range Plan and evalua-tion were first published in January 1962,although a preliminary evaluationwas made for 1961to provide a starting point.

S U P P O R T F O R C A PProperty Acquired

The inventory of corporate aircraft on December 31, 1962, was 882 ascompared to 911 on December 31, 1961.

On a quarterly basis, machinelistings are mailed to the CAP units possessing aircraft for coding as tocondition and in-commission of assigned aircraft. For .aircraft out of com-mission, reports are to include estimated dates of in-commission and costof repairs. The above procedures will give better control to the assignmentof aircraft, provide more reliable statistics on their availability to meetassigned missions, and provide better control over maintenance and repair.Reduction of AF-CAP Supply Liaison Personnel
