 SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This manual supplements Chapter 5 of CAPM 52-16, in order to standardize encampments nationwide. Added to the encampment program are mentoring and in-flight positions. Changes made to the program: the executive staff roles were expanded, encampment staff position descriptions are more in-depth, and an encampment training philosophy is outlined. The new course curriculum requirements reflect the stated changes.
