Cadet Chief Master Sgt Tyler Saba of Chino Cadet Squadron 20 was awarded the Civil Air Patrol Commander’s Commendation for Inland Empire Group 3 Ground Team Member of the year, and was nominated for California Wing Ground Team member of the year.
Ground team members participate in search and rescue operations and perform lifesaving actions when they locate survivors of crashed aircraft. According to her father, Paul Saba, who is also a Civil Air Patrol Captain, Cadet Saba’s Commendation states: “This honor rarely is bestowed upon a cadet and is a reflection of her dedication and service to the Emergency Services mission of the Civil Air Patrol.”
Cadet Saba is a Ground Team Member-1, Civil Air Patrol’s highest Ground Team Member qualification rating available for cadets, and has participated in many search and rescue operations during the past year, including personally locating two crashed aircraft with her team. At the age of 15 Cadet Saba shows great leadership, and this award is well deserved. Congratulations C/CMSgt Saba, job well done!
