**Notes:**
Since you were last in CAP, many things have remained the same, but some of the significant changes are reflected here
In the ’95 timeframe, CAP established it’s own National Hq here at Maxwell by taking over functions previously accomplished by CAP-USAF
Most visible was the hiring of our own National Hq Staff
After a GC decision in 2000, CAP’s funding was changed to a Cooperative Agreement, a grant-type arrangement with the AF
Key was “substantial involvement” by the AF
Employment peaked at approx 140 NHQ employees, now at approx 105 + 52 Wing Administrators
Have made great strides in “Accountability” as a Non-Profit
Public Trust & Transparency in Governance are vital to function of a Non-Profit and CAP strives for that
Have had an “Unqualified” Single Audit last two years
On the doorstep to an “Unqualified” Financial Audit
Major commitment to Grants Management Certification Training: EX, EXA, FM, GC, FMB (2), Dep FM

- Tasking

**Notes:**
More than 60 - 80% of AFNORTH missions on their Air Tasking order are CAP Missions. (stat came from Gen Morrow)
- NORTHCOM taskings: Big missions such as: natural disaster, HLS, etc
  -- DoD taskings: normally smaller missions, tasked directly from DoD or AF units, such as Low Level Route surveys; aerial imagery for base security 

## CAP was first nonmilitary flight allowed following the attack

**CAP was first nonmilitary flight allowed following the attack**

**Notes:**
CAP provided damage assessment photos, blood transport, ...

## Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ophelia and Wilma

** ****1,048 Air Sorties**
** ****2,023 Flight Hours**
** ****131 Ground Team Missions**

**Notes:**
In addition to the members providing on site assistance immediately following the incidents, CAP also provided assistance in the months after the disasters working with FEMA and the American Red Cross.  Thousands of remained on standby for deployment from locations nationwide.

##  Middle / High School SEP maintained in 70 schools nationwide

-  Middle / High School SEP maintained in 70 schools nationwide
-   2,500 cadets in SEP for grades  6-12

-  Jr Cadet SEP being piloted in 19 elementary schools nationwide
-  300 teachers and 7,000 students participating in SEP for grades K-5
-  Jr Cadet curriculum aligned with national standards

**Notes:**
School Enrichment Program for middle and high school students has been in existence for about 10 years.  
SEP for grades 6-12 is the same as regular cadet squadrons except that the meetings are held either during school or as an after-school program.
SEP is present in about 70 schools nationwide w/2500 children taking part. Improved attendance, attitude and achievement are seen as the direct results of this program.
This year, CAP began a test SEP program: “Jr Cadet” program; in 20 schools nationwide; 300 teachers and 7000 students are participating.   
Jr Cadets will not be “formal” cadet members of CAP this year. Their teachers will be CAP AE Members (teacher members).  
Jr Cadets will not progress in rank, nor will they be eligible for orientation flights or wear a uniform. 
Jr Cadets will wear a CAP t-shirt and will learn about character education, leadership development, aerospace education and physical fitness through 24 nationally standards-based lessons for each grade level.  A community service project will be an additional requirement of Jr Cadet classes.

## Volunteer Support to the Air Force

**Volunteer Support to the Air Force**

**Thank you for your confidence in Civil Air Patrol and for your vision!**

**Wright-Patterson AFB & Randolph AFB are gearing up for a 28 Jan “Kick Off”**
** ****AF POCs are working with local CAP volunteers to identify and fill work areas**
** ****Scheduling module will minimize workload on either party while capturing volunteer hour metrics & will meet GC requirements for Air Force Assigned Mission (AFAM) status**

##  Reductions to CAP’s O&M baseline have minor impact on AF 	TOA, but major impact on CAP programs 

** ****Reductions to CAP’s O&M baseline have minor impact on AF ****	****TOA, but major impact on CAP programs **
** ****CAP misclassified as a “Contract” operation**
** ****EEIC was 592 - “Misc. Contract Services”**
** ****Fix is in place to reclassify funding as 769 - “Other Grants, ****	****Subsidies, and Contributions”**
** ****CAP employee pay is paid from O&M **
** ****No Mil Pay, no Civ Pay **
** ****Result is a disproportionate impact**
** ****Congressional restores greater than AF cut; forces ****	****execution ****	****year redistribution of TOA**

**Notes:**
In May 01, AF/XOO (Brig Gen Rod Bishop) calls for rebaselining CAP’s budget and to “fully fund” CAP
CAP’s baseline had gotten to a nearly 50% disconnect
In Nov 03, AF/XOH (Brig Gen Dave Clary) calls for stabilization of CAP’s baseline and to “insulate” CAP from future AF budget drills
Part of what was then the AFAB process (AF Auxiliary Board) at Hq AF
If you add in proposed AFSO21 reductions suggested by AU, CAP is approaching another era of being 50% disconnected

## CAP has moved to greater support of domestic Homeland Security missions since 9-11
Redirection of resources...reprioritization of efforts
New organizations  New growing pains
Conflicts between state and federal agencies
Does military doctrine of support to civil agencies – call only if required – fit CAP? 
Legal status of CAP creates challenges
DoD and USAF policy and doctrine still being developed
No shortage of lawyers with opinions on subject

## Largest Reserve Program in Air University (252 members)
Our primary “eyes and ears” in the field
PBD720 cuts in active-duty manpower force greater reliance on contributions of Reservists
Cold-war era Reserve policies create execution challenges
Example: unclear guidance on how to use MPA man-days
Centralization of Reserve administration leads to delays
Example: 17 day lead time to put a Reservist on orders
