Vermont Wing - Civil Air Patrol Learn about what the Vermont Wing of the Civil Air Patrol does for Vermonters and America, and how you can help!

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is the official volunteer auxiliary of the United States Air Force. The Vermont Wing of CAP, headquartered in South Burlington, consists of five composite squadrons (both adults and cadets), one senior member squadron (adults only), and a legislative squadron (legislative members only). Our squadrons are in South Burlington, Montpelier, Bennington, Rutland, and Springfie

ld. We also have a flight at Norwich University for students in CAP attending the university. Vermont Wing has single-engine aircraft, vehicles, radios, direction finding, and various equipment, along with pilots, senior members, and cadets ready to serve Vermont with various CAP missions. Vermont Wing's Cadet Programs' mission is transforming youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders. Vermont Wing's Emergency Services programs respond to natural disasters and emergencies, partnering with the State of Vermont, the Red Cross, and other emergency response groups to assist when Vermonters need our help. Vermont Wing's Aerospace Education programs provide engaging opportunities to learn about aerospace sciences, cybersecurity, and STEM.

Congratulations to Capital Composite Squadron for bringing home the Lt. Col. Ben Gilmore Award from Northeast Region Cadet Competition this weekend. The award recognizes the team with the best esprit de corps throughout the event. Thank you to the team for representing Vermont Wing with the heart and soul that really makes our wing strong!

Please note: The second picture was taken moments before departing the competition for church service and then a five hour ride home, which is why the cadets are no longer in uniform.

Huge thanks to Senator Bernie Sanders for his support of our Cadet Program!

During our visit to Washington, D.C., Senator Sanders asked us a simple, but powerful, question: "What can I do to help your cadets?"

When we shared that spreading the word about our program would make a tremendous difference, he immediately sent us with his staff to put together this video.

The Vermont Wing Civil Air Patrol is an organization focused on serving our neighbors, supporting our communities, promoting STEM education, and providing young adults with meaningful opportunities to grow into strong, engaged citizens.
