Cloverdale Middle

Cloverdale Civil Air Patrol Cadets traveled to Ft. Chaffee over Spring Break to participate in various activities. Cadets spent two days on the Army post attending classes before deploying to a remote area to practice what they had learned in class.  They set up a bivouac area and participated in search and rescue scenarios. Using radio direction finding equipment, cadets hiked a half mile to find a simulated aircraft crash site, performed a medical assessment on a medical "dummy", and notified 911. Advanced students became certified as Emergency Response Team members through a series of FEMA courses taught by the Sebastian County Emergency Management Department.
