CAP USAF Reorganization AF Reserve Replacement Staffing?

[NIN]

The governance report is completed, the SECAF has made his remarks and, the BoG will meet on Weds. August 22 to finalize their decisions. We will all know the outcome on the 22nd or 23rd at the Annual Conference.

Might see all y'all in Baltimore on the 25th. :0

If the rumored changes are true, the BoG will be exerting a greater presence in CAP. This board of USAF, CAP and, industry leaders will, IMHO, (indirectly) enable the SECAF to further "influence" the direction of the organization. CAP-USAF's "decreased footprint" and, the addition of the volunteer Wing Coordinators should dovetail with the governance reorganization.

Not sure how this makes sense.  How would decreasing the degree of on-the-ground oversight of CAP operations by AF employees dovetail with seizing greater control of high-level CAP decisions?

The loss of the SDs can't help but make it more difficult for the AF to control CAP.

"Air Force Oversight" is the problem of the SECAF down to CAP-USAF. It's not really our problem however, the BoG has already agreed to the new volunteer "wing coordinator" positions. It seems that, with the new governance structure, the AF has decided to let the "corporation" self police more than before; especially with the BoG taking a more proactive role in governing CAP. Just an observation. We'll just have to wait until the "new rules" come to play...

I don't think anybody asked the BoG about the wing coordinator positions, nor do I think that they needed to do so.

Also, although the BoG is nearing some final decisions on the governance issues, the CAP-USAF reorganization is unrelated.  Perhaps parallel is a better word.  It would have occured whether or not the BoG chooses to make changes to our current structure.

As a side note, Col. Gloyd and his folks are considerably more agile as they were able to study the problem, develop a plan, and execute while the BoG is still considering the problem and perhaps preparing to take action.

Ned...always the tease

As FW said.....AF OVERSIGHT as in keeping track of those things the AF wants/needs to keep track of is a CAP-USAF problem.  If they are comfortable with doing it at the "regional" level.....then why should we care?

If in the future the USAF finds that it is not working for them....well they will make adjustments.

I was only making an observation. The NEC made the move to include Wing Coordinators in CAPR 20-1 after Col Gloyd gave his CAP-USAF reorg. plans to the BoG. Everyone is working together to achieve a successful transition. I don't think there would be any argument here. All parties seem to be in agreement with the new position.

Yes, the two plans may have been worked out in "parallel" however, IMO, CAP-USAF's plan may have been different had the BoG decided to have a "hands off" approach to changing corporate governance. Yes, just another observation...

As are we all. Indeed, this August gathering will be CAP's most significant redefining moment in decades.

The average member won't even notice the changes beyond the press releases.

I remember the last "big change", when press releases stopped being produced by the United States Air Force for the CAP.  We lost a whole lot in the last round of "restructuring", I hope AF takes some direct control back!!

From what I heard at RSC, don't bet any money on it, according to Col.Cortum
