3. BLUF – Effective Use of Aviation for the Mission Key Word is Effective • Unsafe is Ineffective • ROI is 10-100x • Potential in Every Business Line • Grounded is Ineffective Issues • Field Users Mired in Red Tape • No Standards, Training or Oversight • Cyber Security Issues • Discipline Brings Self-Determination

4. Aviation is the Commander’s Program • CAP Doctrine • Commander is Responsible for Standards, Training and Oversight • No Quarter Given for Half-baked Programs – Fireable Offense • Accomplished Through Thoughtful Delegation (to Us) • You and I are Executing the COMMANDER’S Program • One Common Role at Every Position is “Maintain the Standard” • Professionals Are Predictable • HQ CAP, CAP-USAF, ACC, AFNORTH, HAF and the FAA Look for Standards

5. USACE UAS Risk RISK Standards Training & Oversight We Were Here USAF Standards Current FAA Standards CAP as a whole – WE ARE HERE NOW!!!!!!!!! Command Oversight Buy-Down

6. High Risk has Being Mitigated • We Have a Chain of Command • We Have a Minimum Qualification Standard • We Have a Mission Planning, Approval and Reporting Standard • We Have Support from Outside Agencies • Issues • Need Better Program Documentation (Working) • You are tasked with the “What” without the “How” (Today is step 1) • Questions are Expected and Encouraged (Use Wing / Region DOUs) • Help Spread the Word to our Teams and Partners

7. Result of Risk Mitigation Efforts? Three Levels of Human Failures: • Organizational – Sheet of Glass • Leader – Sheet of Plywood • Individual – Sheet of Bubble Wrap • Congratulations!

Just Do It. • HQ CAP is fighting for a Technical Solution • First Step to Self-Determination • Program Discipline is Critical to This Effort

10. Leaders Set the Tone • Put your Game Face on Early. • Don’t Promise Things You Won’t Deliver. (You have to deliver) • Change is Emotional. Remain Dispassionate. • DO NOT CAVE! • My Promise: • I Underwrite Honest Mistakes • I Will Remove Unsafe/Undisciplined Flyers • I Will Work on Organizational Fixes Every Day I’m Here
