The Civil Air Patrol, also known as CAP, is the official civilian auxiliary branch of the United States Air Force. The CAP is a non-profit volunteer organization established by the United States Congress in 1941. It specializes in providing aid through emergency services, search and rescue, disaster relief and aerospace education. In addition, the CAP also performs non-auxiliary missions for several governmental and private agencies such as the American Red Cross and Local Law Enforcement. Recently, the CAP has been tasked by the United States Air Force to perform missions pertaining to homeland security and courier services. Due to the nature of their missions, many CAP members often become licensed pilots to provide the maximum support needed to aid civilians throughout the United States. Beatrice Ione Hammond (used by)
