I've got a cadet who earned his encampment credit for a JROTC summer leadership school. The question is, is he eligible for the encampment ribbon or not. 39-3 just says completion of an encampment; so it doesn't say it has to be a CAP encampment, but it also doesn't say that it is awarded merely for encampment credit.
I had a cadet get encampment credit for a Sea Cadets course, so I asked the question through the knowledgebase. The reply I got:
"Completing a CAP encampment garners the CAP encampment ribbon. Completing an program that CAP/CP has determined to be equivalent satisfies the Mitchell Award's encampment requirement but does not garner the CAP encampment ribbon."
That's what I needed, thank you.

Not going to lie, but that would actually be really weird to see a C/2ndLt+ without an encampment ribbon.
