General Information
What is Civil Air Patrol?
Since the Civil Air Patrol’s formation during the earliest days of World War II, this vigilant organization of citizen Airmen has been committed to service to America. Founded on Dec. 1, 1941, to mobilize the nation's civilian aviation resources for national defense service, CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground.
Today Civil Air Patrol is America’s premier public service organization for carrying out emergency services and disaster relief missions nationwide. As the auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, CAP’s vigilant citizen volunteers are there to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster, and work to keep the homeland safe. Its 56,000 members selflessly devote their time, energy, and expertise toward the well-being of their communities, while also promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program.
The Madison Cadet Squadron is one of the area's best-kept secrets. The organization depends upon adults interested in developing tomorrow's leaders, teachers looking to bring Aerospace and STEM to the community, youth and adults interested in supporting our community during emergencies, and teens interested in college prep, military, and aviation careers.
“Volunteers serving America's communities, saving lives, and shaping futures.”
