  2. Projects and Updates • Cadet Organizations –COMPLETE – TO NHQ • Mentoring Successful Cadets –COMPLETE – TO NHQ • RCLS Curriculum Guidance – COMPLETE – TO NHQ • RCLS Participation – IN PROGRESS • New Cadet Training Requirements – PROPOSAL • NCAC Travel Funding – PROPOSAL • Other Projects in Progress: Online Testing, Communication Between Echelons, NCO Schools

  3. RCLS Curriculum: Guidance • Central Proposal: • 24-hour core curriculum • 16 hours of additional experiential learning, readings, and online content • Weekend or weeklong implementation scenarios • Developing distance learning modules and options • Content Specifics Under Development With NHQ • NCAC Website Poll with 90+% Support

  4. RCLS Participation: Overview Refocus RCLS toward Phase III leadership training away from just Eaker requirement completion. - Curriculum Proposal Focuses on Maximizing Both Availability and Quality Training Two Questions: • How many cadets should be attending RCLS? • Why do cadets not attend when they are eligible?

  5. RCLS Participation: Target • Target: 66% of Mitchell cadets within 1 year of Mitchell - 3 to 5 year target • 685 Cadets Annually (1037 Mitchells in 2010) • COS : 110 CAP cadets annually, ~50% overlap • Total RCLS Capacity Recommendation: 650 Cadets • Current Participation: • ~138 Cadets Annually (2009 and 2010 data) • 450% Increase Needed

  6. RCLS Participation: Barriers

  7. RCLS Participation: Solutions • Refocus RCLS toward Phase III leadership training away from just Eaker requirement completion. • Increase Course Offerings • Geographically Distribute Course Offerings • Communicate RCLS Opportunities

  8. New Cadet Requirements: Problem • The Curry Achievement Requires: 1) Basic ORM, 2) Intro to Safety, 3) OPSEC, and 4) EOT. • The number of discrete tasks for the Curry Achievement overwhelms new cadets and decreasesretention. • Requiring these tasks for 12-14 year old new cadets diminishes the impact of needed safety and ethics training.

  9. New Cadet Requirements: Solution • Use Phase I as the cadet training parallel for Senior Member Level I.

  10. Spread Out Requirements over Phase I: • OPSEC – Keep at Achievement 1 • Basic ORM – Require for Wright Brothers • Intro to Safety – Require for Wright Brothers • EOT – Require After 18th Birthday, like CPPT • Some Cadet Activities May Require Additional Training

  11. NCAC Travel Funding • To simplify funding procedures to maximize CAC participation in the CAP National Board meetings. • We advise the NEC to implement the following: • Region personnel purchase flights using region funds and request reimbursement from NHQ. • Where transport would be by public transit or POV, regions may dispense funds beforehand. • Regions are able to ensure their representative is properly funded and work out logistics as needed.

  12. The Bottom Line • Establish RCLS Participation Target and Work with Cadet Programs to Expand RCLS Course Offerings • Use Phase I as Cadet Training Equivalent to Adult Level I • Fund NCAC Travel Through Regions and Have Regions Request Reimbursement

  13. Summary • Continuity and Successes • RCLS Discussion • The Bottom Line Questions and Concerns?

  14. Thank You!
