  The
Georgia Wing is a strong and diverse group of cadet (youth) and senior (adult)
volunteers that serve our communities, the State of Georgia and our nation.
Since 1941, the Civil Air Patrol has been Semper Vigilans- "Always
Vigilant." We are truly "Citizens Serving Communities" through a wide
variety of methods, from conducting
search and rescue for the US Air Force to assisting local Emergency Management
Agencies all the way down to local volunteer efforts in Georgia hometowns.
We are the civilian arm of the US Air Force. We have an
award-winning youth program that promotes self-initiative,
discipline, leadership and personal growth and development. We perform
over 95% of all aircraft search and rescue missions for the Air Force, and
have saved thousands of lives by providing
well-trained, qualified air crews. We work closely with federal, state and
local governments, providing a wide range of much-needed services, and all of
this without fanfare or financial reward.
Local Civil Air Patrol
Squadrons are all across the State of Georgia, serving our communities,
the State of Georgia and America.
We provide humanitarian aid during natural disasters, work closely with state
and local emergency service agencies (law enforcement, fire, search and rescue)
as well as the US Department of Homeland Security
and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. We are a 501c3 "not for profit" that does all of this using
dedicated volunteers from all over the State of Georgia- from the coast to the
mountains! (Click on the ribbon, above, to learn about our National
Commander Unit Citation for our work after the Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil
spill.)
