ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND HELPFUL TRAINING

ATTENTION ALL PARTICIPANTS

The requirement for operational risk management training prior to attending encampment has been adjusted by our National Headquarters.  Staff members are still required to take both the individual basic ORM class and test, and the individual intermediate ORM class and test.  Basic applicants, however, will be given a basic ORM class on the first full day of classes at encampment.

Attention all participants and staff members:

IAW (in accordance with) a recent initiative from CAP/HQ, our National Commander, Maj Gen Amy Courter, ALL PARTICIPANTS AND STAFF attending wing, regional, and national encampments and special activities are REQUIRED to complete a basic operational risk management (ORM) online class prior to attending the event.  Further, staff members MUST complete the intermediate ORM in addition to the required staff training (RST) that is normally part of the staff training regimen.

With only a month to go before we all embark on a 10-day adventure on the campus of Norwich University in Northfield, VT, excitement for everything we have in store builds by the day!

On 30 March, members of the cadet command, executive, and line staff met, on-site, to gain bearing over their duty stations.  A worthwhile venture, the staff was enthusiastic about the wealth of opportunities we have to present our basic attendees this year.  Norwich University lends itself to surmountable challenges for both the encampment attendees and staff, alike.

The cadet staff will be on the campus of Norwich University, Saturday, for the final round of onsite staff training prior to encampment.  The command staff is excited for this opportunity to bring the entire group together for some team building and cohesion.  An outline of the schedule will be delivered, as well as a good breakdown of this year's extended curriculum.
