The Primary Missions of Civil Air Patrol

In 1946, Congress granted a charter to Civil Air Patrol, charging its members with three missions.

First, CAP was to promote aviation. As years passed, that mission expanded to include aerospace education as well.

Second, CAP was to provide a training program to support the nation’s youth in contributing to society and preparing for successful adult lives.

Finally, CAP was to continue its emergency services, the work for which CAP is still best known today.

We meet at 7:00 pm on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month at
the Portland Air National Guard Base on the South side of PDX. Contact Dennis Fraser prior to attending so that base access can be arranged.
