Region Reports on Recommendations to Solve Issues of National Importance

Northeast Region We are aware that it can take an inordinate amount of time for pilots who join CAP to achieve their qualifications in CAP. What can we do to streamline this process?

Quality vs. Quantity While our goals is to speed up the process, we cannot lower our standards. At the same time we should use this opportunity to make all our pilots better.

Problem The system is not broken. Implementation is the problem.

Recruitment Mission Benefits Cost Overview of the CAP Pilot system Create How to Recruit Guide Allow introduction flight before joining

Mentoring Done at Squadron, Group or Wing Assign a mentor to the pilot immediately upon joining. Mentor approved by Wing DO Setup a plan of action Introduction to an instructor Setup a time table

Mentoring Explain procedures Get this new pilot in the air ASAP This process should be used at all levels of Pilot.

Education Step by step checklist established by NHQ and Local working group. Weekend flight clinics for new pilots Flight academies for MP, Commercial and Instrument Electronic downloads of checklists and POH Shortage of instructors and check pilots causing delays

Instructors/Check Pilots Shortage of instructors and check pilots causing delays Weekday shortage the worst Aircraft not always available

Instructors/Check Pilots Sharing of instructors/check pilots between wings Wing Commanders need to agree to let mentors setup training Sharing of aircraft

Instructor Training Recruit outside instructors to join Setup in house school make our own instructors

Funding Off set cost for new pilots Fund weekend pilot clinics Scholarship programs for Commercial, Instrument and Instructor Programs.

Questions?

Middle East Region Over the course of CAP s history we have seen some major changes in the operational and ES-related missions that we perform. Other missions have remained much the same as those which we conducted in our early years. Looking forward, what operational and ES missions do you think we should prepare for in order to remain relevant to the Air Force and other Federal, State, and Local customers?

The View From Space Homework Assignment bring at least 4 ideas Purposely wanted ideas presented in person Raw data 86 ideas 98% were OPS/ES focused (at first) Challenged the room for ideas specific to our other 2 missions Total of 9 pages of slides 2 are other mission focused Will present the list in detail for further review

Great Lakes Region We have recently signed an agreement with the Air Force Association (AFA). One of the major areas of emphasis for this agreement is to increase our impact in our local communities for youth development, helping teachers with STEM-related products, helping students who are not CAP members, and increasing interest in aerospace and aviationrelated careers. What are some practical things that our local squadrons and local AFA chapters could do to make this a reality?

Perceived Challenges Organizational Structure Alignments Does State AFA organize the local AFA Chapters and at what level should CAP focus our partnerships for maximum benefit of this mission? Do 5 local squadrons overwhelm one geographic AFA Chapter?

Perceived Challenges Putting our products in customers hands. The linking of the customer s world and our two organizations is a multifaceted challenge. We both need to address how we can approach the target audiences by breaking down access point issues. Employ a NO BOX approach, not just out of the box. Squadrons and AFA chapters can best directly support each other through joint participation at (Schools, STEM Fairs, Community Events, County Fairs/State Fairs, PTA, University Educator Preparation programs.)

Perceived Challenges Identification of expectations on both sides of the handshake. What do we expect of AFA and what does AFA expect of us in how we are engaging the customer? Are we only focused on readily attainable HIGH SUCCESS opportunities = BANG FOR THE BUCK or are we reaching out to HIGH CHALLENGE = Higher investment return to those with less access opportunities, but higher potential payoff? CAP can make better use of our already in place resources such as AFA grant programs to further STEM initiatives in our communities.

Key Take Away Strategies Value our partnership in our Community Events. This will boost our mutual organizational missions of the target demographics: our communities, educators, and youth. Dialogue will only happen when you talk, and talk often. Relationship building must be started to put these forces in motion at the required level. Verify contact info is current as our partner is broadcasting our unit contact info on their website. A wrong contact is an opportunity lost to get both our messages out! Own the mission. Aerospace Education is a CORE MISSION, not an optional mission, or even the third mission! It is an equal part of our foundation. Give it the value it should be demanding.

BRIDGING THE AFA AND CAP GAP FORWARD

Southeast Region We know that squadron commanders carry a high level of responsibilities, many of which may not be necessary or could be satisfied by someone else. However, we have not done much in a practical manner to relieve the workload of our squadron commanders. In reviewing the regulations levying requirements on our squadron commanders, what requirements could be eliminated or satisfied by someone else?

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Our objective: Identify requirements and processes that prevent the SQ/CC from growing the unit and providing quality experiences for the members of the unit while executing the three mission of CAP. Premise statement: If you don t have a (duty position), the responsibility falls to the squadron/cc."

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Define minimum number of members needed to execute our congressional missions. -- Are the numbers 8 and 15 still relevant or is it time for re-evaluation? Additional automation of processes (e.g., vehicle usage reporting to mirror a/c usage reporting) Automate as many forms as possible, especially CAPF2, F2A, F27

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Redefine role of Group/Squadron/Flight CC to be in line with governance re-write effect on Wing Commanders. What are our expectations of a squadron commander? What are their priorities? Define mandatory/optional workload requirements.

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Required squadron duty positions should be based on unit size and/or composition. Consider sharing of certain duty assignments between units Temporarily offload certain administrative requirements to HHQ (Group/Wing) until such time unit membership increases, allowing all functions to be performed within unit.

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Eliminate any duplicate reporting requirements where possible. Modify duty assignment requirements at squadron level for those duties that require HHQ involvement/approval Example: Public Affairs Officer

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Where possible, redistribute timelines/suspense dates more evenly throughout the year. (Sept-Feb/March) seems to be hyper-busy time. Understand that reports which are tied to EOY FM reports are non-negotiable, but other reports should be considered for suspense date change.

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Eliminate the SUI requirement to reproduce and upload information which is findable in e-services. (Additional e-services permissions may be necessary) First full SUI should be done at completion of three-year mark, with informal overview (SAV) at end of year one. Auto-populate new unit SUI data with correct SUI due date and grace period.

Lessening the Workload on SQ Commanders Thank You!

North Central Region CAP s aerospace education (AE) program is the best in the nation. Our internal AE program for our cadets is outstanding, while our program for senior members is hit and miss. For our external AE program, CAP has amazing products and programs to offer our community s teachers and students from K through 12. There is much more potential to grow external AE. Help us with two areas. What can we do to make internal AE for our senior members more relevant? Also, what can we do to grow our external AE to impact our local communities even more?

Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education North Central Region, CAP March 2018

Our Task Background: CAP s aerospace education (AE) program is the best in the nation. Our internal AE program for our cadets is outstanding, while our program for senior members is hit and miss. For our external AE program, CAP has amazing products and programs to offer our community s teachers and students from K through 12. There is much more potential to grow external AE. Help us with two areas. Part 1: What can we do to make internal AE for our senior members more relevant? Part 2: Also, what can we do to grow our external AE to impact our local communities even more?

Part 1: Enhancing Internal AE Part 1: What can we do to make internal AE for our senior members more relevant?

Ideas to Enhance Internal AE Continuing education or college credits for AE involvement Provide AE for seniors monthly/develop senior program curriculum Special training or classes (ground school, back seat pilot orientation, Space Camp, senior program trips to aviation facilities) Partnerships that harness the power of other AE-related organizations AOPA, EAA, CAF, state offices/bureaus Organize an AE speaker s bureau (schools, other organizations) AE ambassadors provide 10 minute AE talks for the community (mini-ted Talks) A computer-based AE lesson that teaches adults computer skills Hands on activities aimed at adults using STEM kits, etc. Break the Yeager test up into bite sized pieces Aviation related badges such as Rocketry for seniors. Contests, contests, contests!

Part 2: Enhancing External AE Part 2: What can we do to grow our external AE to impact our local communities even more?

Ideas to Enhance External AE Partnerships Women in Science, Aerospace Organizations, Teachers/Teacher Organizations, Home School Association, State Dept of Ed, Student Technology Associations Presentations to community groups Volunteering at community events Give members credit for/encourage service on boards and committees of other organizations AE materials at aviation related locations Allow wings to fund a TOP flight program/series Organize materials by grade level on the website Sponsor STEM or Cyber Events/Contests for Youth (Cyber Day, AE Challenge Day) UAV events like drone races Develop Cyber/AE lessons cadets can teach kids in schools

Civil Air Patrol Mobile Game

CAP App Develop an App Expand to new modules In game purchases Internal and external Think Forge of Empires with an AE theme FOE Debut in 2012 25 million players by 2015 37K per day 11K installs per day

Build an Airplane Mini-game: In this game, you will build airplanes from different pieces: wings, engines, wheels, propellers, etc. There will be different combinations that work better than others (via simulator), and you will learn how all the different parts of the plane work together. It will start with the Wright Brothers era of airplane design, and will progress into more advanced levels. When you are done building the plane, you will then test the airplane. The game will simulate the distance, elevation, and speed the plane will fly.

Rescue Missions Mini-game: This game will be a 3 rd -person style game where you will complete search and rescue missions. You will rescue citizens, deliver supplies, patrol areas, and more. You will learn what active Civil Air Patrol members duties are during search and rescue operations.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Search Mini-game: In this game, you will navigate the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle through obstacles unnavigable by airplane. Each level will grow increasingly more difficult as they are completed.

Storyline: You are a young person on your very first day as a cadet of the Civil Air Patrol. You will learn the core tenets of the Civil Air Patrol through different mini games. You will complete missions to advance through the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program. Each mission will have an objective; these objectives will be tailored to the curriculum of the cadet program. As you progress through the game, you will be taught the principles of flight, the duties of the Civil Air Patrol, and how joining the Civil Air Patrol can help you advance in all aspects of life.

Social Media Players will be able to share their high scores through the different social media platforms which will help spread awareness of the Civil Air Patrol. Players can also compete with friends and family members for the fastest time, longest flight, or highest flight. There may also be a leaderboard and/or standings in the game only available to verified Civil Air Patrol cadets.

Recruitment We could offer incentives to unlock more levels for players that visit a Civil Air Patrol unit to discuss joining the cadet program. There are many ways that we can provide information and incentives to promote Civil Air Patrol membership.

Southwest Region CAP has an outstanding character development program for our cadets, helping to instill in them the ethical underpinnings that will help them to be successful in their adult lives. However, for our senior members we assume that everyone embraces and understands our core values. This may not be the case. What can we do at the senior member level to enhance our members ability to handle situations in CAP in a consistently high level of ethical behavior?

Before We Begin The Disclaimer

The Challenge Rules are required due to the serious nature of the work we perform We sometimes regulate what we ought be managing Do our rules standardize best practices, or are they about avoiding bad things As the rules proliferate, they start to conflict with each other and drive out individual judgment because it is safer to comply with the rule.

We Are Not Alone "Let's not tell Airmen how to do everything. Let's tell them what to do and let them surprise us with their ingenuity. Secretary Wilson and I trust our Airmen will make the right decision, based on the values, training and experience the Air Force has provided them. By reducing the number of Air Force directives we are trusting our Airmen and pushing down decision authority to commanders. Gen. David L. Goldfein, Air Force Chief of Staff.

Pacific Region Once cadets reach age 21, many of them are choosing not to transition to senior membership. This could be for many reasons, including increased demands on their time due to college, new jobs, relationships, etc. What can we as an organization do to improve upon the retention of cadets when they age out of the cadet program?

Issue Reasons for not transitioning may not necessarily be what we think. Senior program is still something of a mystery to cadets. If we seek to transition cadets to seniors, we need to make the program more relevant to them in advance of their transition date.

Solution Familiarize and integrate adult cadets into what the senior program has to offer. Parallel Wing Program. Development of a streamlined on-boarding process, Level I and equivalency programs so training isn t repeated. Elimination of 1 st year membership fee.
