Though Civil Air Patrol is known for its flying missions,
CAP adult members, known as Senior Members/Officers, do so much more than just fly.
In fact less than a fifth of all CAP members are pilots or aircrew members. CAP
adult members come from all walks of life. Just about any career or background
can be useful to and found in the ranks of the CAP adult membership. In emergency services and operations CAP not only needs aircrew
members, but also ground team members to aid in the rescue of survivors or to
assess damage after a disaster. CAP needs communications personnel to relay
critical messages when there is limited or no telephone support. Administrative
staff, financial managers, logistics and supply personnel are needed to
document missions and get personnel critical supplies and equipment in the
field that they need to conduct missions.
The Squadron's senior members mostly support the cadet program, acting as mentors
willing to guide and support our cadets in leadership, aerospace education,
physical fitness, and moral and ethical decision making. Duty Positions for senior officers within the Civil Air Patrol are:
Personnel | Cadet Programs | Public Affairs | Safety | Finance | Legal | Inspector General | Health Services | Education and Training | Aerospace Education
| Administration | Chaplain | Logistics | Commander designation | Flight Operations | Historian | Operations | Character Development | Standardization-Evaluation | Recruiting and Retention Officer | Emergency Services | Information Technology | Communications | Drug Demand Reduction |
