Figure 5-1. Encampments: Minimum Course Content & Curriculum Overview.
The encampment curriculum may be delivered via any format – tours, briefings, guest speakers, informal lectures, job shadowing, duty performance, simulations, games, etc. – making use of the particular strengths and resources of the host installation and local aerospace industry. Interactive, experiential methods of education and training are preferred to static, lectured-based instruction. The encampment curriculum is integrated with the Air Force’s force development program. Under each training block listed below, the corresponding universal aerospace leader competency is identified for informational purposes.
1. AIR FORCE FUNDAMENTALS – 10 Hours 1a. Structure & Mission of the United States Air Force: Cadets will be introduced to the six core competencies of the United State Air Force: air and space superiority, global attack, rapid global mobility, precision engagement, information superiority, and agile combat support. They should become acquainted with the missions of nearby Air Force units and how the total force is organized, to include CAP’s relationship to the Air Force as its Auxiliary.
Universal Aerospace Leader Competencies:
Aerospace Operations: Air Force Core Competencies
1b. Aerospace Power: Cadets explore the unique characteristics of aerospace power – speed, precision, range, lethality, and freedom of maneuver – through the lens of local aerospace organizations, particularly Air Force flying units. Additionally, cadets will learn how aerospace power contributes to national security.
Universal Aerospace Leader Competencies:
Aerospace Perspective: Aerospace Fundamentals Aerospace Strategy: National Military Strategy; Efficacy and Use of Aerospace Power
1c. Aerospace Heritage: Cadets will become acquainted with the historical artifacts, events, or individuals who shaped the aerospace environment and affected America’s achievements in air and space.
Universal Aerospace Leader Competencies:
Aerospace Perspective: Air Force Heritage and Culture
2. CIVIL AIR PATROL FUNDAMENTALS – 10 Hours 2a. Emergency Services: Cadets will receive an introduction to CAP’s emergency services mission, which may include actual emergency services training. Opportunities for cadet participation in emergency services should be emphasized.
Universal Aerospace Leader Competencies:
Not applicable
2b. Aerospace Education: Learning activities will be conducted to help cadets better understand the lessons found in the cadet aerospace textbooks. Full use should be made of the experts and facilities available at the host installation and in the local community.
Universal Aerospace Leader Competencies:
Aerospace Technology: Basic / Specialized Knowledge; Aerospace Environment
2c. Cadet Program: Experienced CAP leaders will provide an overview of opportunities available through continued participation in the Cadet Program. The overview will include information about scholarships, national and local cadet special activities, drill teams, color guards, and the Cadet Program’s usefulness as a gateway to an aerospace career. The life skills and intangible benefits afforded by the Cadet Program will be emphasized. Practical advice on how to advance and make the most of the cadet experience should also be included. Cadets will also be made aware of the dangers of drug abuse, consistent with Drug Demand Reduction (DDR) program guidelines.
