Service List |
|
While CAP has long been associated with search and rescue missions, its work also includes disaster relief and communications, as well as counter drug and homeland security missions. Search and rescue remains an important service provided by CAP members, however. CAP still flies 90 percent of all federal inland SAR missions. |

|
CAP's talents have augmented the Air Force in search and rescue (SAR) and disaster relief/disaster preparedness since CAP's formation in 1941. The emergency services' primary mission objective is to save lives and relieve human suffering. CAP demands professionalism in organization, training, and mission execution to accomplish this service. |
