  7. Cost-effective Force Multiplier CAP’s average cost per flying hour is low because crew costs are minimal

  9. Cadet Programs • CAP Cadets are potential Airmen • Demonstrated interest in aerospace, cyber, UAS & STEM • Demonstrated interest in military service • Academically, morally and physically eligible for service • Often untapped source for recruiters • TODAY’S CADETS… • TOMORROWS AEROSPACE LEADERS

  10. Cadet Programs • Cadets’ STEM education perpetuates U.S. aerospace supremacy • Career explorations / job shadowing • Cyber as new emphasis • Cadets prompt Airmen to re-blue themselves • By modeling Core Values for cadets, Airmen re-internalize the Core Values • Airman / Cadet interactions are a positive and fun way to refresh commitments to the Core Values

  11. Aerospace Education • AE Partnerships • AFA, AFJROTC, AFROTC, NASA, National Association of Rocketry, Academy of Model Aeronautics, Experimental Aircraft Association and Aerospace Industry Association • AE Products & Programs • Over 30 products pertinent for all ages geared toward STEM-related subjects • All programs meet National Academic Content Standards • Provide STEM kits and lesson plans to CAP squadrons, schools & AFJROTC units • Promote AFA sponsored CyberPatriot program

  12. Investing in the Future What do a former CSAF, an Air Force Thunderbird, an astronaut and many other civic, industry and military leaders have in common? They were all CAP cadets. • Lt Col Nicole Malachowski, USAF • Former USAF Academy cadet glider and instructor pilot • First female U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds pilot • Gen Mike Ryan, USAF • Former CSAF • Col Eric A. Boe, USAF • NASA Astronaut • Piloted Space Shuttle Endeavour (Nov 2008) • Piloted the final mission of Discovery in 2011 • Maj Kim Campbell, USAF • Former USAF Academy cadet wing commander • Safely landed heavily damaged A-10 after sustaining hostile fire over Iraq

  13. Impact to Air Force • $155M/yr in volunteer manpower • 1/10 the cost of contract support, and 1/40 the cost of organic DoD assets • Robust communications capability • Appropriate resource for the mission; preserves AF warfighting assets

  14. Concluding Thoughts • Performs key missions for Air Force, DOD and other Federal agencies as the official Air Force Auxiliary • Also supports states, communities, public service non-profits and others • Low cost force multiplier; direct AF cost avoidance; appropriate resource for the mission • Maintains highly qualified aircrews, incident command staff, ground teams and other mission personnel • Employs advanced technologies and multipurpose aircraft • Capable of sustained volunteer operations with units across the nation • Maintains an Air Force Auxiliary presence nationwide • Extends the USAF presence into areas without DOD installations • Builds better citizens and future leaders through service to their country
