  • Support to Civil and Military Authorities
    Support to Civil and Military Authorities The purpose of this lesson is for students to state what support the federal/state governments, CAP and the Department of Defense MAY provide to each other and the procedures to request that support. Desired Learning Outcomes 1. State common types of civil and military missions and how those authorities request support from CAP. 2. Identify the benefits of being properly authorized to support civil and military authorities and the possible consequences if done incorrectly. 3. Describe what support the Air Force may (vs. must) give CAP. Scheduled Lesson Time: 20 minutes Introduction Support from CAP to organizations and government agencies, including the military could range from staging a simple color guard presentation to thousands of members participating in a major disaster relief operation. As CAP members we must be sure we follow policies put in place to protect our members and Civil Air Patrol as we serve America. With this in mind, for all activities, proper authorization must be obtained from the appropriate level of command. When you complete this presentation, you will understand the benefit of obtaining authorization for all functions that CAP may be asked to participate in as well as how to follow the Chain of Command to obtain the needed permissions. 1. State common types of civil and military aviation missions and how those authorities request support from CAP Civil Air Patrol assistance to Civil Authorities, including airborne imagery and communications support for counterdrug, homeland security, and disaster operations; and Support to Military Commanders, including low level surveys and range support, are coordinated by the National Operations Center.

  • Contributed Facilities & Utilities
    Contributed Facilities & Utilities As part of the annual audit NHQ requires each subordinate unit to submit a Contributed Facilities and Utilities worksheet to the wing FM before November 1 each year. The worksheet needs to include the type, square footage and the annual fair rental cost, if known, for all facilities for which CAP has exclusive use. Buildings, meeting rooms, storage facilities or room, hangars or hangar space and aircraft tie-downs are some types of facilities for which CAP may be charged nothing or less than the fair market rental rate. The fair market value of donated utilities must also be reported on the worksheet. There has been past confusion over accurately reporting contributed facilities & utilities. The confusion primarily lies in what constitutes a contributed facility and what is the value of the contribution. How do we determine if we have a contributed facility? First we must make a determination whether or not CAP has exclusive use of the facility. Second we must determine whether or not CAP is paying fair market value for the facility. To have a contributed facility, CAP must have exclusive use and must not be paying for that use or be paying less than fair market value. Exclusive Use • Can you lock the door of the facility and it remains locked until your next use? If yes, you likely have exclusive use. • Does anybody outside of CAP use the facility when you are not using it? If yes, you likely do not have exclusive use. Fair Market Value • Does CAP pay any amount for the facility? If no, CAP is obviously not paying fair market value for the facility.
