Arkansas Civil Air Patrol issued the following announcement on Aug. 14.
The Kentucky Wing’s commander and a Texas Wing cadet have been recognized as Civil Air Patrol’s Senior Member of the Year and Cadet of the Year in connection with the organization’s National Conference, held virtually Aug. 12-14.
Col. Brian W. Schmuck joined CAP as a cadet in the Indiana Wing in 1995 and has been a senior member since 1999. Before becoming Kentucky Wing commander in March, he held a variety of duty assignments at the squadron, group, wing and region levels.
He holds the three master ratings, two senior ratings and a host of emergency services qualifications, including Incident Commander 1, and has completed Level V of the Senior Member Education and Training program.
Col. Jackson B. Baker, a member of the Texas Wing's David Lee Hill Composite Squadron, joined Civil Air Patrol in 2014 and quickly progressed through the cadet program, earning the Gen. Carl A. Spaatz Award -- CAP's top cadet honor, earned by less than one-half of 1% of all cadets -- in April 2018.
