Though I'm not to this point in the program, I recently posed a question to the CAP KnowledgeBase.

Quote from: Holden FennerWhy does the CAPR 20-1
refer me to the CAPP 52-14 for nearly all of the cadet staff positions?
Is this referring the CAPR 52-16 or some other publication?  Or should
the cadet staff be filling out a Staff Duty Analysis on their position?

Quote from: Curt LafondDear Cadet Fenner,

When a cadet assumes a new staff assignment, he or she will likely need
some help learning how that job contributes to the squadron's mission.
What are some of the major duties of the position?  Which publications
govern the job?  What's a good way of approaching these issues and
studying the nature of the staff position?  The "Staff Duty Analysis"
pamphlet, CAPP 52-14, guides cadets in their study of staff work and
helps them answer those questions.

The "Organization of Civil Air Patrol," CAPR 20-1, merely points cadets
to the SDA guide, suggesting that it will be helpful to any cadet who
faces the challenge of beginning a new duty assignment.

While CAPR 20-1 does not mandate that cadets complete any SDA
activities, the Cadet Program regulation, CAPR 52-16, requries cadet
officers to complete "SDA Reports" and "SDA Staff Service" to qualify
for promotions during Phases III and IV. 

For more information on the SDA activities required of cadet officers,
please see CAPR 52-16, paragraph 2-8, which will point you back to CAPP
52-14 for in-depth guidance.

I hope this reply answers your question.

As a result, I elected to fill out my own SDA for my position.  This is an activity I would like to do with all of my staff, but I would appreciate anybody who is willing to review mine first.  I don't want to post it online b/c it corresponds closely with an achievement, so please drop me a PM if you're interested in seeing it.
