Our Story

We are a civilian Auxiliary of the United States Air Force. We perform many missions for the Air Force including inland Search and Rescue Services, of which we conduct 95% of all volunteer SAR Operations in the United States. We also educate America's youth and adult members in the areas of Aerospace, and in addition we teach the future- America's youth; to be the leaders of tomorrow through our leadership and follower ship based Cadet Programs. In addition, CAP teaches core values including integrity, volunteer service, excellence, respect, follower-ship, leadership skills, teamwork, and much more. CAP strives to teach in a multitude of ways. As cadets and senior members we have the opportunity to give back to our community.

When conducting missions for the Air Force as the official Air Force auxiliary, the Civil Air Patrol is now included in the Air Force’s definition of the total force. CAP has provided 76+ years of support to “Emergency services, Aerospace Education and Cadet Programs”.

In August 2015, the Air Force updated Doctrine Volume 2, “Leadership,” expanding the Air Force’s descriptions of total force and Airmen to now consist of regular, Guard, Reserve, civilian and auxiliary members. Historically, the broader term Airmen referred to uniformed and civilian members of the U.S. Air Force (officer or enlisted, regular, Reserve, or Guard) regardless of rank, component or specialty.

With this newest change, Air Force leaders should consider each part of the total force, including the auxiliary, when determining the most effective and efficient ways to complete the mission. CAP has approximately 57,000 volunteers and 550 aircraft assigned to more than 1,500 units stateside available or currently supporting non-combat missions on behalf of the Air Force.
