Brainstorming with NORTHCOM for expanded mission opportunities across services that are cost effective

Put additional emphasis on ground, communications and other staff missions that CAP is capable of supporting

Wings should work with state and local government counterparts, national guard and local military units to develop missions

e108 Processing


Wings should plan on 1st Quarter funding issues to continue like prior years

Funding is available for late FY13 needs Focus on check rides that are due to expire in

the 1st Quarter of FY14 Schedule orientation flights for new cadets Enter training mission requests or request

increases to existing missions if you can’t execute within your current budgets

Request funding for orientation flights if needed

Planning for FY14


Submit your training plans if you have not already – 4 wings have not though due 31 July

NHQ will develop a training plan module based on current plans to track progress Expect questions as there is great variation

in plans from region to region at this point Expect national and region goal input Goal is to allow plans input, once approved

by CAP-USAF, to go direct to mission approval assuming major changes from the plan submitted are not made

Planning for FY14


Mission symbol updates in coordination for implementation on 1 October 2014 Removing little used symbols Breaking out training categories to better

track program implementation to plans Breaking out inspection related flying from

training categories for management awareness

Planning for FY14


Staff areas must all work together in and out of Operations

Train as you fight – Fight as you train Be prepared for the difficult situations

like loss of commercial infrastructure Integrate the whole team

Staff Reorganizations & Changes Loss of frequency manager NOC reduction & augmentee use NTC relocation to Maxwell AFB

Team Effort


Imagery Rules, Request For Information (RFI) &

Requests for Proposal RFP

Civil Air Patrol


Retention of imagery is not allowed

On all AFAM missions, all Images belong to AFNORTH or the customer. CAP is prohibited from retaining any images in camera, on computers and any recording media.

Once posted publicly they are fair game like HDDS & FEMA First Responder Site

Use CAP cameras or get prior permission

Corporate missions will follow AFAM rules

Facebook, twitter…from the field is a no no

Imagery Rules


Ground level imagery of structure damage only No pictures of people No pictures of personally identifiable info:

Addresses People Names Phone Numbers Email Addresses License Plates

Requests by anyone not wanting pictures taken of their property are honored

Imagery requests referred to customer

Ground Imagery Rules


Public Affairs photos for customer support missions must still be coordinated for release Be cognizant of who is in the pictures and

where the photos are taken CAP member approval is on the member

application…be sure to coordinate with parents though, and for courtesy with adults

Photos for cadet and teacher orientation flights are acceptable and encouraged

Public Affairs Photos


RFI Report in final stages Inputs yielded great support from agency

counterparts, especially within DHS Highlighted the need for low to mid range

sensors and higher end sensors Report not publically releasable due to

proprietary information submitted All agency reviewers have indicated they

will participate in the RFP review

Imagery Request For Information (RFI)


Expect 2 RFPs Low to mid range sensors High end sensors

May include Mini SAR or LIDAR High resolution nadir and oblique

cameras with Infrared for day and night still and video imagery required

Multiple modes of transmission Expect integration into 182s and 206s

primarily, but also possibilities for GA-8s

Imagery Requests For Proposal (RFP)


Not just paper proposals Agencies like NGA will support review of

sample data for 1st phase review Finalists will be required to fly in controlled

tests to demonstrate sensor can perform as advertised including training materials

RFP will be released for competition before the end of the FY with results documented in the the 1st Quarter of FY14

Imagery Requests For Proposal (RFP)


Don’t be caught unprepared!

CAP Overwater Survival Course


Civil Air Patrol

What is an extended overwater flight?

Except during the take-off or landing phase, an extended over-water flight is defined as any flight operation, sortie or event, conducted outside the normal power-off gliding distance of land, as determined by altitude, distance, glide speed, wind and other determining factors.



What should I expect? Sign-in Course Requirements and Operational Standards Preparing for Overwater Operations Execution, Ditching and Egress Survival Gear Hypothermia Practical Egress and In-water training Testing



Who must take the course?

All crewmembers, including non-CAP authorized passengers, who are participating in an extended overwater flight or sortie.

CAP crew members must have successfully completed overwater survival training within the past three years and validated in the members Operations Qualifications (Ops Quals).

Course Requirements


What are the minimum Operational Standards? Flights are limited to within 50 nm of shore

except for special operational missions approved by the National Operations Center (NOC) in advance.

The reconnaissance phase of the mission will be flown IAW CAPR 60-1, paragraph 2-2e, unless deviation is approved by the NOC.

Operational Standards


What are the minimum Operational Standards? Any required confirmation phase will be flown

no lower than 500 feet above the surface of the water, 1,000 feet during night operations.

During overwater operations at night, both front-seat crew members must be CAP qualified as instrument rated mission pilots and instrument current. The right-seat pilot need not be qualified in that specific aircraft.



What are the minimum Operational Standards? Extreme caution should be taken and proper

notifications should be in place when operating in the vicinity of or beyond the Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ). Confirm with ATC of your intentions, before

crossing the ADIZ. Check and confirm your assigned discrete

transponder code



What are the minimum Operational Standards? During the duration of extended overwater flights,

each occupant will wear a certified FAA and U.S. Coast Guard or Department of Defense (DoD) approved personal flotation device (PFD).

The aircraft will also contain a U.S. Coast Guard or Department of Defense (DoD) approved and certified inflatable raft of sufficient number and size to accommodate all occupants and will contain, at least, one pyrotechnic signaling device.



What are the minimum Operational Standards? Constant wear U.S. Coast Guard or Department of

Defense (DoD) approved anti-exposure or emersion suits (Gumby suit) will be worn by crew members on any pre-planned overwater flight when the water temperature is or is forecast to be 60°F or less.

The wing commander may waive the requirement to wear the anti-exposure or emersion suit after reviewing appropriate safety and Operational Risk Management (ORM) considerations, such as the distance from land in which the aircraft will be required to operate.



Incident Commander, Incident Complex, Unified

Command and Area Command Updates

Civil Air Patrol


Though many missions last a month a longer, less than 3% of CAP’s actual missions have more than 3 sorties operating at any one time

Over 80% of the CD missions are run by Counterdrug Missions Directors that are not ICs, but all were found to be AOBD Qualified in FY12

13% of our missions never turn a prop utilizing only ground teams for SAR & DR

Mission Analysis


CAP does conduct 75 to 100 missions a year that are very resource intensive like our DR support and Border Mission Ops These require more training and care Careful consideration and grooming of the staff

officers leading these efforts is necessary

Other missions don’t require the highest level personnel, especially when senior personnel are just a phone call away

Some high level personnel are burning out

Mission Analysis


Carefully select and screen upper level personnel IC1s – approve a limited number at the national

level after training and evaluating these personnel

IC2s – approve and train a larger number at the region level to meet needs for incidents beyond the scope of a typical wing

IC3s – focus wing training efforts on these personnel being the initial responders to developing emergencies and interagency ops

Recommendations


Increase education and exercise requirements at IC3 – IC1 levels based on skills required and Federal guidance

IC4s – add this level to train new personnel to work the less resource intensive missions and develop new ICs Make allowances for personnel with experience

as branch directors (air and ground) to run missions they are capable of supporting with minimal additional training

Recommend limits of 1 operating period and 3 operational resources at play at one time

Recommendations


Work with CAP-USAF to update the Evaluation Guide and train their staff to evaluate to NIMS standards for: Multiple Incidents in the same wing Incident Complex Unified Command Area Command

Train and evaluate national level teams for major incident response for large area operations

Recommendations
