Airman Leadership School (ALS) - Group III

1. The purpose of the ALS is for cadets to develop new leadership skills, investigate the aerospace sciences and related careers, commit to a habit of regular exercise, and solidify their moral character. This purpose is to prepare our CAP Airmen for their first experience to be a success at an Encampment. This will be accomplished by an immersion into the full challenges and opportunities of cadet life, under the auspices of CAPR 60-1, and Best Practices of CAPP 60-70.

2. Goal Areas. In fulfilling its purposes and realizing its vision, the ALS pursues goals in four different areas simultaneously.a. First, the overall program sets goals/expectations for each student as an individual – what Civil Air Patrol (CAP) hopes that cadets will know, do, or value as a result of ALS, to aid in their success at the squadron level, their first encampment and future encampments.

b. Second, ALS is a learning experience for each member of the cadet cadre. The program sets goals/expectations for those advanced cadets as we develop new leaders from our squadrons and groups.
c. Third, the ALS aims to foster a foundation in teamwork, the program sets collective goals for the flights as teams.
d. Fourth, ALS is a venue for adult CAP members to grow as leaders of cadets, to better prepare them as leaders of cadets and contribute to cadet programs by setting goals/expectations for those individuals.

3. This activity will be conducted in accordance with the CAPR 60-1, and all other applicable CAP regulations used for Best Practice (CAPP 60-70) and Texas Wing supplements.

4. The ALS targets cadets primarily from our Groups to stimulate opportunity and confidence in developing new leaders from within our Wing. The ALS offers the safe teaching environment for those new up and interested leaders without previous experience as we encourage diversity and opportunity for the inexperienced with mentorship.
