Task 1.10.1 - Flight Operations Permitted During Remobilization Phase I
All flight operations are permitted during Phase 1 except TOP and JROTC flights. However, O-Flights for cadets will have only one cadet flying at a time.
Masks are required.
For all CAP Ground Training and Flight Operations the following General Precautions shall be adhered to:
• Wash hands
• Mask (see Mask guidance below or at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html
• Temperature below 100.4 F
• No travel to high probability locations and no interaction with people who have or may be suspected to have COVID
• Not [self] identified as high risk unless performing completely solo operations
• Sanitize aircraft or vehicle or classroom after each use by new crews, following NHQ established procedures under the Remobilization of the Membership web
page
Mission Activation
In the event of a mission activation during current and transition phases, the following rules of engagement will be followed as possible:
The minimum number of personnel required for safe and effective mission operations will be employed and no more
Missions will be centrally planned and de-centrally executed
Plan Completed By: Lt Col James Brogan, CAP SC Wing
Last Updated: 4 January 2022 Page 5 of 14
Template Updated 10 February 2021COVID-19 Remobilization of the Membership Plan – Phase I A defined mission base will not be established unless the mission becomes so large as to require such. Planning and command and control activities will be performed from home station using collaborative processes such as TEAMS, texts, and phone calls. A permissive environment is needed or C2 + operations will need to be conducted well away from the affected area. Crews and teams will be dispatched, tracked, and recovered remotely and electronically. Crews will be responsible for preparing their assets, servicing them, recovering them, and reporting task status via WMIRS or download of pictures to a central collection site as may be needed Crews and teams will follow all precautionary procedures appropriate for current Phase (face masks and cleaning between sorties). If an operating location, a sub-base, or a full mission base is established, the location will be cleaned prior to use, post use and during use (such as morning and afternoon cycles). Indoor location will not exceed 10 members. Up to 25 members may be outside and must be masked and social distanced. Members, crews, and teams will have to provide their own personal protective equipment and cleaning materials because wing does not have a supply and it is not logistically feasible to distribute a supply. Wing will obtain cleaning material for mission base locations only. If a member is unable to provide needed personal materials, then they cannot participate. The IC will specifically designate personnel to conduct cleaning for a mission location. Task 1.10.2 - Identify Requirements (Currency, etc) for Senior Members Senior members must be current IAW FAA requirements, recalling that being current does not equate to being proficient. If an individual does not meet FAA currency requirements, an A0/24 flight with an instructor is appropriate until the instructor pilot concurs with member’s return to service. For ground operations, the individual and the person in charge (activity director, incident commander etc) will decide as to ability to appropriately perform duties. Additional training can be provided, or the member can be replaced in that duty capacity Task 1.10.3 & 1.10.4 - Identify Cadet Training Requirements That May Be Different Than Phase I Requirements None, as there are no cadets undergoing any type of flight training under CAP auspices within SCWG at this time. Any ground training will follow general training needs for small unit training.
