CAP wing structure

The CAP wing structure refers to the governance model used by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), a volunteer organization that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. In this structure, "wings" are regional divisions that manage local squadrons, which are smaller groups of members. Each wing oversees training, missions, and administrative functions within its area. This hierarchical organization ensures efficient communication, resource distribution, and program implementation, enhancing the CAP's ability to conduct search and rescue operations, emergency services, and youth programs while promoting aerospace education.
