Civil Air Patrol-United States Air Force (CAP-USAF) is responsible for ensuring Civil Air Patrol — the Air Force auxiliary — is organized, trained, and equipped to fulfill Air Force-assigned missions. CAP-USAF provides day-to-day support, advice, and liaison to CAP’s more than 60,000 members and provides oversight for CAP programs, with emphasis on safety and program requirements. CAP-USAF personnel are also the primary function interface between other federal agencies and CAP.
As of 2020, CAP-USAF is staffed with approximately 200 active-duty, Reservist, and civilian airmen at CAP National Headquarters at Maxwell Air Force Base and locations in New Jersey (Detachment 1, McGuire Air Force Base), Maryland (Detachment 2, Andrews Air Force Base), Ohio (Detachment 3, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), Georgia (Detachment 4, Dobbins Air Force Base), Minnesota (Detachment 5), Texas (Detachment 6), Colorado (Detachment 7, Peterson Air Force Base), California (Detachment 8, Beale Air Force Base), and Florida, as well as in Puerto Rico and at several overseas Air Force installations.
