About Civil Air Patrol

Since the Civil Air Patrol's formation during the early days of World War II, this vigilant organization of citizen Airmen has been committed to service to America. With a desire to mobilize the nation's civilian aviation resources, CAP was founded on December 1, 1941, and continues in its dedication to public service through emergency service missions in the air and on the ground.

As a Total Force partner and Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol works diligently to carry out three primary mission areas in service to the local communities, state , and our nation. Its almost 60,000 members volunteer time, efforts, and expertise toward the well-being of communities, the promotion of aviation and related fields through aerospace/STEM education, and helping to develop future leaders through CAP's cadet program. The three primary missions of Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services give our nation's youth aged twelve and up an opportunity to learn new skills and put experience to good use through volunteer efforts. The same vigilance of the founding members drives today's adult and cadet members to perform their duties thus preserving CAP's almost 80-year legacy of service.
