ENCAMPMENT HISTORY
49th Cadet Training Squadron Commander

Tom Doyle
The 49th Cadet Training Squadron of the Cadet Training Group is unique in Cadet Training Group history. No cadets were ever assigned to the 49th CTS; the number was set aside to honor a former member of the Cadet Training Group. Cadet Captain Tom Doyle was a Northern California youth who was a leader in his school and community, a licensed pilot at age 17 and an outstanding member of the Civil Air Patrol. Cadet Doyle was selected to command the 18th CTS at Fort Ord in the summer of 1980. However, changed personnel requirements resulted in the activation of only one CTS instead of the three that were planned. Shortly after the Fort Ord Encampment, Cadet Doyle commanded Delta Flight, 17th CTS at McClellan AFB. He was a graduate of the USAF Academy. After completing training as a fighter pilot, he was stationed with NATO in Germany. On one grim cloudy day in the spring of 1988 he gave his life to save the children and people of the town of Forst. Returning from a low level fighter mission, Lieutenant Doyles F-16 fighter had a sudden engine failure over Forst. He could have bailed out but if he had his jet would have plowed into a school in the town. Instead he stayed with the aircraft and directed it away from the people. Having survived two previous in-flight emergencies, he knew the odds were against him when he made his decision. Lieutenant Thomas Doyle, USAF, gave his life in the crash to save the children and people of Forst. In 1989, the Cadet Training Group recognized Lieutenant Doyle by naming him, posthumously, as the Commander of the 49th Cadet Training Squadron. The guidon of the 49th Cadet Training Squadron appears on the Cadet Training Group shield as a reminder of our fallen Cadet Training Group hero.

C/Maj Melanie E. Tunison

From the Commander, Congratulations! You have completed one of the most demanding and challenging programs California Wing and Civil Air Patrol has to offer. The effort you put into completing encampment will pay dividends for years to come, not only in CAP, but in your endeavors outside of CAP. You have learned to mangae time, follow directions, teamwork and self-discipline. These skills will benefit you the rest of your life. From the Commandant of Cadets, Congratulations on your completion of Encampment! The CAP Cadet Program has trained future leaders for America since its founding by deliberately utilizing a challenging training environment. One week ago, you made a personal commitment to achieve the objectives of Encampment, and through discipline and teamwork, you have accomplished that goal. It is my hope that you will utilize many of the skills you have learned over the week; skills in communication, planning, time management, self leadership and group leadership. It is also my hope that you continue to develop and embrace the CAP Core Values of Integrity, Volunteer Service, Excellence and Respect. These skills and values will take you far in your future military or civilian life.
