In 2021, CAP posted a more in depth article on CAP’s Surrogate Remotely Piloted Aircraft (SRPA) role in the program here. “Keep ‘Em Flying” (scroll to page 15). The article starts as follows (click the link for the complete article):
Arguably the best-known and longest-running military training support mission is the Surrogate Remotely Piloted Aircraft (SRPA) program, more commonly known as Green Flag. For the last 12 years, Civil Air Patrol has been providing vital training support to the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, and coalition air and ground forces as part of their predeployment preparation. CAP aircrews in specially equipped CAP aircraft simulate the work of the MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper in air, land, and integration combat exercises.
