Civil Air Patrol's Main Missions

Click the icon above to see more about that mission of CAP

Civil Air Patrol enjoys a proud legacy of selfless sacrifice and service to country and community that spans decades.  The first Civil Air Patrol members of 1941 were a heroic breed,  men and women who served their country by sinking or chasing away German submarines off America's East and Gulf coasts. As a result of their bravery, patriotism and tenacity, CAP sub chasers effectively thwarted German U-boat attacks and, in the process, saved countless lives.

Today, CAP handles 90 percent of inland search and rescue missions under management by the USAF, with approximately 75 lives saved each year. Our members are generally the first on the scene transmitting satellite digital images of the damage within seconds around the world and providing disaster relief and emergency services following natural and man-made disasters, including such phenomena as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Texas and Oklahoma wildfires, tornadoes in the south and central U.S., North Dakota flash flooding and the October 2006 earthquake in Hawaii, as well as humanitarian missions along the U.S. and Mexican border.

In addition, CAP members are dedicated to teaching a new generation about aerospace and its impact on our future. And our cadet programs ensure our youth receive some of the finest leadership training the nation has to offer.

If you want to serve with us, we have a mission for you!  Civil Air Patrol serves the country and community through its three missions of Emergency Services, Aerospace Education, and Cadet Programs.  Are you interested in aviation and space? Do you want to get involved in search and rescue, disaster relief, and other humanitarian services? Would you like to develop leadership skills and serve your community? If so, then you may want to join the Civil Air Patrol!
