S EARCH AND RESCUE

The U nited S tates Air F orc e is a ssig ne d re sp on sib ilityby the National Search and Rescue P lan for coordinating

search operations in the in land region of the U nited S tates.'The Air F or ce d is ch ar ge s its responsib ility through theAerospace Rescue and Recovery S ervice (ARRS) of theM ilitary A irlift C omm an d. As the civilian auxiliary of theU.S. A ir F orc e, C iv il Air Patrol provides the primary re-so urc es a va ila ble to ARRS i nf ul fi ll in g t hi s r es po n si bi li ty .In 1975, Civil Air P atrol participated in 69 4 se arc h m is -

sio ns, fle w 24,500 hours, w as credited with locating 304search objectives and saving 57 lives. CAP search forcesalso assisted m an y other persons w ho w ere in distress butn ot in im mediate dan ger of losin g their lives.The n um ber (if search objectives located increased by

65% over 1974, while the total fly ing hours expended in -creased only 1 a o A l . This is interpreted as an increased

e ffic ie nc y of se arc h fo rc es that is attributed to CAP's con-tinuous m ission skill upgrade train ing program s and them andatory use of Em ergency Locator Transm itter (ELT)by all general aviation aircraft. The num ber of CAP m is-s io n s i nc re as ed by 51% over 1974. This in crease in activityw as generated, in part, by t he r equi rement to lo ca te E LT sthat have been inadverten tly activated, In spite o f i ni ti alproblem s of educating pilots in the proper use of the ELT,the device plays a crucial role in saving the lives of crashsurvivors.

The ELT is designed 1 :6 reduce the tim e required to Lo-cate the crash site. T im e js the key factor for survival. A t

GROUNDSUPPORT. Ground

teams are a key factor in the suc-

cess of most search and rescue

operations. They often can begin the

mission and continue it when weath-

er conditions preclude or interrupt

air search. Ground teams also per-

form the interrogation function of

lnvestigating leads which often pro-

vides invaluable information to aid

the mission coordinator in directing

air search. They usually are first to

arrive at an accident site to provide

life-saving first aid and assist with

evacuation of casualties (if re-

quested], Trained and equipped CAP

ground teams also provide disaster

relief assistance in cooperation with

other humanitarian organizations

such as the Salvation Army and

American Red Cross. (Photo by

CADET ENCAMPMENTSThe first major award within the cadet program is the

General Billy Mitchell Award. To earn this award, eachcadet must attend a Civil Air Patrol encampment, in addi-tion to fulfilling al l requirements o f th e first sev en o f the15 structured achievements. Encampments are conductedannually by each state CAP wing at local U.S. Air Forcebases, or at other community, state, or national facilities.Cadets who earn the Mitchell Award become eligible fo r

IN TERNAT IONAL A IR CADET EXCHANGE( lACE)Conceived in 1946 by the Air Cadet League of Canada

and the Air Training Corps of Grea Britain, the first lACEwas conducted in 1947 with t he a ss is ta n ce of the RoyalAir Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Civil A irPatrol entered the exchange in 1948, with the assistanceof the U.S. Air Force. The program bas grown over theyears, having involved some 40 countries a t one time or

another.The purpose of the lACE is to foster international under-

standing. goodwill and friendship among young peoplehaving a common interest in aviation. To this end, anannual, three-week exchange of cadets is conducted b y CivilA ir Patrol and other organizations such as national aeroclubs, national air cadet organizations, and national airforte academies. These participating organizations sponsorand provide the cadets with sightseeing, tours of aerospaceindustries and museums, visits to airports and air forceinstallations, orientation and training flights in gliders andpowered ught airplanes and visits in host-country familyhomes. Airlift of participating cadets to , from and withineach country is provided by the various national air forces.

During 1975, 185 CAP cadets and 21 senior memberescorts were exchanged with the 13 other IACE membernations and eight countries in the East Asia/Pacific area.The annual exchanges with these latter. nonmember coun-tries are arran ged and conducted bilaterally by Civil AirPatrol under the same rules and format and in conjunctionwith the regular lACE program. Civil Air Patrol-and U.S.Air Force officers participated in tbe 1975 rACE PlanningConference in Brussels, Belgium, to plan the next year'sex-changebetween the lACE-member nations.

FIRST fliGHT. Preliminary to the first orientation flight, the

pilot performs a routine inspection of the exterior of the aircraft,

carefully explaining to the cadet what to look for and why.

Cadets may qualify for a series of six 30-minute orientation

flights by satisfactorily advancing through cadet program re-

qulrements, Of prime importance is the first orientation flight

fOf new cadets since itwill hopefully stimulate an interest in fur-

ther aviation knowledge and experience. Manv cadets are pro-

vided their first fljght experience through this program.

THERE IT IS. The sights of New York arepointed out to a Swed-

ish cadet by his American CAP cadet host during the lnterna-

tional Air Cadet Exchange.

CADET F LIGHT TRA IN INGDuring 1975, the Civil Air Patrol Corporation provided

$70,000 for its cadet solo/flight orientation program. A _ _

total of 104 solo scholarships of $120 each were providedto the 52 wings. Each scholarship provides the recipientwith the necessary ground school and flight trainingleading to solo qualification. Distribution of the scholar-ships was based upon CAP wing cadet recruiting perform-ance during 1974, with a maximum of three scholarshipsprovi-ded for anyone wing. In addition, approximately11,000 cadets received their first orientation flight. FOrtheir efforts in supporting this part of the program. CAPwings were reimbursed $5 per cadet for each first orienta-tion flight provided.

lA C E P LANN ING . Transportation arrangements for 200 lACE

cadets during their three-weeks stay in this country requires

careful planning. Major Arthur Berger, CAP (Center} and Air

Force Advisors Malar Morris Lannigan (Left} and TSgt Gordon

Richardson make last minute revisions to travel schedules for the

Washington DCphase of the program.

year emphasis was shifted from textbook development tothe development of supplementary materials for use inelementary a n d junior high school grades as well as thehigher levels.

The initial effort involved development of single-conceptteaching learning packets. Each packet is devoted to one ofa series ofaerospace leaders such as Rickenbacker, Earhart,and Mi tche ll . The packets ar e designed to be sell-contained

units, requiring Littleor no teacher preparation. They stressvisual materials for classroom use, with a minimum ofwritten materials, and series ofdefined student aetivi ties.

Student activities are suggested for the middle grades,high school and teacher workshops. Activity task cardsare being developed for use by students in grades 4 through6 . T he tasks cover a wide variety of subject matter basedon the life of the aerospace personality being studied.

The National Aerospace Education Association, withnational headquarters at Middle Tennessee tate Univer-sity, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, will assist CAP in promotingand marketing the packets in the educational communi ty.
