What is the Civil Air Patrol?
The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a citizen secondary of the United States Air Force (USAF). Although the establishment is associated with the Air Force, it has a peaceful mission, and members perform valuable aeronautics related civic service all over the United States. Originally, the Civil Air Patrol was founded in 1941 as a way for controls and aeronautics enthusiasts to contribute to the war effort. It was initially headed by Major General John F. Curry. Civil Air Patrol planes patrolled the country, delivered supplies, and performed other tasks related to the war.
There are three assignments in the Civil Air Patrol’s charter. The first is the provision of support to emergency serves. This support includes search and rescue, wildfire patrol, flying blood and medical supplies to disaster sites, and aiding law enforcement with counter-drug and anti-terrorism procedures. The second is aeronautics education, which is offered to people all over the United States. Finally, the Civil Air Patrol also offers cadet training and leadership development.
