The National Board of the Civil Air Patrol earlier this month elected Maj. Gen. Amy Courter to be CAP National Commander, according to a CAP Aug. 7 release. As such, she will serve as both a member of the Board of Governors and National Board and will lead CAP’s volunteer force of some 56,000. Courter had served as CAP’s interim commander for a year, following the ouster of the former National Commander, Maj. Gen. Antonio Pineda.
Lt. Gen. Stephen L. Davis, the Department of the Air Force’s top internal watchdog, has been nominated to lead Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the service’s bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
