5. Quality Training Organizational Excellence Track
ARCHER Training increased 300%
New Aerospace: The Journey of Flight textbook, published
National Emergency Services Academy 41% increase!
Congratulations to the NSC Director, Lt Col Peggy Myrick, and her staff for an outstanding National Staff College with over ___ graduates. The 2009 college is scheduled for October again.
The Wing Commander Course , held annually at CAP National Headquarters, helps CAP senior leaders be successful in their dual roles of commander and corporate officer. Congratulations to the 15 wing commanders who attended the course this past spring. The 2009 course is scheduled for April of next year.
Launched the Organizational Excellence Track to provide continuing of our Senior Leaders
Aerospace: The Journey of Flight textbook, 2nd edition, was published on March 7th. This textbook is one of the most comprehensive aerospace textbooks in the nation. It is hard-bound, over 650 pages, 27 chapters, with hundreds of full-color illustrations. This textbook is provided free of charge to Mitchell-award winning cadets and our Aerospace Education teacher members.
More than 175 CAP members are now trained to operate ARCHER, and training continues. Two ARCHER classes took place at the National Emergency Services Academy and as well as two at the National Board in August. ARCHER operators, and several more lined up for the upcoming classes starting in March. SER has had one big ARCHER mission, Operation Clean Sweep in support of AFRL in the last year, and then several training missions including support for all of the ARCHER classes at NHQ.  We also expect that they will use ARCHER on some of the JTFN missions later this spring.
Speaking of NESA, the academy continues to help CAP exceed expectations in meeting its Congressionally-mandated Emergency Services mission, one CAP members are definitely enthusiastic about. In fact, this year, more than 600 members took part in NESA, either as students, instructors or other support staff.
NIMS Certifciation – While it has been a challenging process for our members to come into compliance it has helped make CAP a more effective tool in the National emergency response plan
