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

[Michael Marek]

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."
