Background Paper

[CorsairPilot]

I am looking at writing a background paper as my technical document for Achievement 10. Is this just a paper outlining my background? Thanks.

It is a paper that gives background information on a topic.

You can find an example and a grading rubric here: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/cadets/library/cadet-staff-duty-analysis

Although the format will vary, writing a good background paper is something you can learn as a CAP cadet and apply professionally for many decades to come in a variety of career fields.

So if I were to do a paper on Maj. Richard Bong, would that work?

Thank you for the link.

What aspect of leadership would you connect to Major Bong? Or how would he relate to a staff position?

A background paper is typically on some sort of program, (like Cadet Encampment Assitance Program, Cadet Protection Program, etc). It usually wouldn't be written on a person.

Info on all SDAs can be found here:https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/cadets/library/cadet-staff-duty-analysis

Also in CAPP 60-32.

When I asked about Major Bong, I hadn't checked out the link. It is all much clearer now. Thank you.
