 The Massachusetts Wing oversees all Civil Air Patrol operations and squadrons within the state. Our mission is "Committed to excellence in the execution of our missions of Emergency Service, Cadet Programs, and Aerospace Education in service to our members, our communities, and our nation.
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. Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with more than 61,000 members nationwide. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and was credited by the AFRCC with saving 54 lives in fiscal year 2011.
Civil Air Patrol volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. Our members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to the more than 27,000 young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs.
CAP received the World Peace Prize in 2011 and has been performing missions for America for 70 years. It is a major partner of Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans.

The members of Massachusetts Wing 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 Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). We are a 501c3 "not for profit" that does all of this using dedicated volunteers from all over the State of Massachusetts!
Civil Air Patrol members consist of cadets (11 - 21 years old), and senior members (18+ years old). Our members come from all walks of life, but most have an interest in aviation, supporting the local communities, and or helping our nation's youth become better citizens of the United States of America.
Civil Air Patrol can become an exciting and rewarding part of your life! 
Cadets attend Summer Encampments conducted at Fort Devens
