The focus is on improving the safety of commercial air transportation by reducing the Loss-of-Control (LoC) accident rate, one of the leading causes of airline fatalities. The alliance has five founding members: the New Mexico Department of Transportation, Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell the City of Roswell, the Calspan-University of Buffalo Research Center (CUBRC), and General Dynamics. Calspan’s Upset Recovery Training is a comprehensive flight training program taught by highly experienced test pilots in both classroom and in-flight simulation environments.

ENMU-Roswell partners with a number of local organizations through the Rural Community College Initiative, funded by the Ford Foundation, to promote community improvement activities.

ENMU-Roswell will provide access to campus services and equipment and work with the company to develop new courses in areas such as radar technology, manufacturing, pre-engineering or specialized math and science courses. The company will provide internship and mentorship experiences for ENMU-Roswell students.

United States Air Force- Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell has entered into a unique partnership with the United States Air Force (USAF) to provide training to the Pararescue/Combat Rescue Officer (PJ/CRO) School at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) in Albuquerque. The partnership calls for the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic and paramedic instruction to be provided by ENMU-Roswell for the next five years. KAFB is the home of the PJ/CRO School, and houses two of eight specialty schools that PJ/CRO candidates are required to complete.

This partnership will involve several classes taught at both KAFB and on the ENMU-Roswell campus. These students will be trained to the same Department of Transportation standard as ENMU-Roswell's civilian students, but at an accelerated rate. In 2002, the USAF and ENMU-Roswell entered into a consortium agreement to provide accreditation and college credit for the students taught at KAFB by USAF Instructors. This partnership between ENMU-Roswell and the USAF is an effective way to increase the number of graduates from the PJ/CRO School.
