CDDAR: Crash, Damaged and Disabled Aircraft Recovery

CDDAR is an advanced Team Chief course offered in Volk Field, Wisconsin.

When the unthinkable happens and a plane goes down, there’s panic, chaos and destruction.

Who will respond?
Every flying unit has a CDDAR team.
Will they be trained?
Most units only receive minimal training from Sheppard Air Force Base
Will they know what to do?

The Crashed, Damaged and Disabled Aircraft Recovery Team find themselves in a unique and sometimes precarious situation.

They need to:
Train to become Leaders,
Control the situation

CDDAR Course designs scenarios to be very challenging and complex.

Learn safety, equipment program management and advanced recovery techniques.

The CDDAR Team has three main responsibilities:

1. To clear runways as efficiently and safely as possible.
2. Prevent secondary damage
3. Preservation of investigative evidence

It’s a hands-on course where students can train on equipment and rig and tow actual aircraft.

Students get the opportunity to work a simulated crash site.

Course offered twice a year, 40 students per class
