2017 Spring Ground Team Training Event 

Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with 61,000 members nationwide, operating a fleet of 550 aircraft. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 26,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet programs. CAP received the World Peace Prize in 2011 and has been performing missions for America for 76 years. CAP also participates in Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans.

Oregon Wing Civil Air Patrol

The wing will be hosting a field training exercise for all CAP members interested in getting involved in ground team operations.  Expanding ORWG Emergency Services in both capability and capacity is one of our ORWG priority objectives. All interested and capable members are highly encouraged to attend. Training will be conducted at all levels from Ground Team Member – 3 to
Ground Branch Director. A mission number has been assigned, and appropriate fuel costs will be covered by CAP according to applicable regulation. The small fee to participate will be used to support training and may include: on-site meal support, personal protection equipment, awards and mementos, and operational supplies.
Senior Member and Cadet support is both requested and required to provide mission essential support in the areas of: Transportation, Logistics, Instruction, Food Services, Communications, Incident Base Support, Medical, and Chaplain. Volunteers will gain skills, experience, and exposure to first rate Civil Air Patrol professional development. Volunteers and Trainees are encouraged to use Eventbright to register and indicate your: 1. Desired priority training goals, 2. Support capacities and interest, and 3. Operational Experience and specific subject matter expertise.
 
The Mill City location has an indoor classroom facility, electricity, potable water, and parking. Ample resources are available to support field hygiene. Ground Team Trainees are encouraged to review the Ground Team Manual, pack an appropriate (not necessarily perfect or expensive) 24 hour Pack, and be prepared to camp outside or bring bedding for available covered accommodation. General Emergency Services (GES) and First Aid training are required prior to final GT3 certification. Ground Team candidates should plan on completing these requirements as appropriate. An aircrew survival course may be available if there is enough interest.
