It appears that the activity is just ready to pick up for CAP on Deep Water Horizon, the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This effort
could last for several weeks. It is likely to involve primarily aerial photo reconnaissance.
The early predictions are for an active hurricane season which could affect all of our wings except Tennessee. It is predicted to possibly
be as active as 2005 when we saw hurricanes crossing Florida more than once.
We are becoming very much in demand for our aerial photo capability. We need to make sure all of our equipment is in top shape and
ready to launch at a moment‘s notice. Our continued ability to launch quickly and provide professional quality photos will serve us well in
terms of getting us more business. In addition to keeping our equipment in good condition, we need to make sure our personnel are in
top shape and ready to go on short notice also. We are seeing our inventory of critical operational skills increase over time. That trend
needs to continue as we plan our training missions to add the critical resources and maintain the proficiency of our existing resources.
Do not hesitate to let your Region Staff know if we can assist you in ensuring your readiness to respond when we are called on.

Southeast Region Commander
