Civil Air Patrol is America’s premier public service organization that provides emergency services and disaster relief missions nationwide. When performing Air Force–assigned missions, CAP operates as the auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. Our vigilant citizen volunteers search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster, and work to keep the homeland safe. Our members selflessly devote their time, energy, and expertise toward the well-being of their communities, promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program.
