[PAO] Civil Air Patrol changes commands to streamline its operations

[Arthur Woodgate]

Hi, Mike,

 

I imagine it’s the AF patch for CAP-USAF, not for CAP. I don’t believe this has any effect on CAP at all, other than the organizational issue of having our AF liaison at 1AF (that is part of Combat Command), rather than at Air University (that is on the training side).

 

Kind regards,

 

Arthur ~

Exactly -- a LOCAL news story.  Nothing on the subject on capmembers.com.

We actually have aircraft stationed on base at Tyndall?  What patch got changed?  Do we all have to buy new patches before National Conference (if we wear military-style uniforms)?

There should be something from National PA about this, not just a local TV station story (which is pretty poorly written, I might add).  :-)

There is a news story you can google  "civil air patrol repatching" and it brings up a local TV station at Tyndel showing ceremony and announcing an internal AF shift in reporting commands.

Anybody know anything more about this?

It is obviously a local news story, which sometimes does not reflect national perspectives.  

I am particularly interested in the "re-patching ceremony."  Is that the CAP nationally?  For a local CAP squadron?

Since I am not PAO staff at the moment, I may not have gotten the memo.  :-)

TYNDALL AFB, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - For 75 years the Civil Air Patrol has 
been helping the U.S. Air Force by conducting rescue and relief missions 
during times of man made and natural disasters.
 
Because it also had an educational mission for training its volunteers 
it was managed by the U.S. Air Force's Air Education and Training Command.
 
The largest user of CAP resources is Air Combat Command's 1st Air Force 
at Tyndall Air Force Base. Now, after three years of planning and 
organizing, CAP will be under the command of that organization.
 
The change streamlines the command structure so that missions can be 
carried out more efficiently.
 
After the official welcome of the first new CAP aircraft assigned to 
Tyndall a formal re-patching ceremony was held to signify the official 
change of command structure.
 
The command realignment also makes Civil Air Patrol part of the total 
force community which means CAP and its approximately 56,000 volunteer 
members become more of an instrumental force multiplier for the Air Force.
 
Lieutenant General William Etter, Commander of First Air Force added, 
"This will make our response quicker and more effective and efficient 
because we'll have the headquarters in line with where we actually task 
out the operational flying."
