The Nevada Wing of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is the highest echelon of Civil Air Patrol in the state of Nevada. Nevada Wing headquarters are located in Reno, Nevada.[1] The Nevada Wing consists of over 700 cadet and adult members at locations across the state of Nevada.[2]

## Mission

[edit]

Civil Air Patrol executes its three primary missions: providing emergency services; offering cadet programs for youth; and providing aerospace education for Civil Air Patrol members and the general public.[3] Website: https://nvwg.cap.gov

### Emergency services

[edit]

Always prepared, both in the air and on the ground, members of Civil Air Patrol (CAP) perform emergency services for state and local agencies as well as the federal government as the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force and for states/local communities as a nonprofit organization. Ever vigilant, these true patriots make a difference in their communities, not only assisting in times of disaster but also searching for the lost and protecting the homeland. CAP also provides aid during humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions. CAP offers Air Force support through the conducting of light transport, communications support, and low-altitude route surveys.

### Cadet Programs

[edit]

Civil Air Patrol's cadet program transforms youth into dynamic Americans and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character. As cadets participate in these four elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way. Many of the nation's astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists first explored their careers through CAP.

### Aerospace Education

[edit]

Civil Air Patrol's awarding-winning aerospace education program promotes aerospace, aviation, and STEM-related careers with engaging, standards-based, hands-on curriculum and activities. It shapes the experiences and aspirations of youth both in and outside CAP's cadet program.

## Nevada Wing History

[edit]

Nevada Wing was chartered on 18 December 1941 and contributed to the nation through search and rescue and military support roles during the Second World War. Since then, Nevada Wing has provided search and rescue (SAR) capabilities throughout the nation's seventh largest state. It took the lead in the nation's largest SAR event, the 2007 Steve Fossett Search. Read more here: https://nvwg.cap.gov/about/nevada-wings-80th-anniversary
