HOMELAND SECURITY
MISSIONS
After the terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001, over
8,700 volunteer CAP members
were mobilized nationwide,
flying a total of 564 hours
in transportation,
reconnaissance and airborne
imagery missions. More than
450 of these members
assisted their state or
federal emergency management
agencies.
At the request of the
Department of Defense, over
250 CAP members provided
security and traffic
observation for the 2002
Winter Olympic and
Paralympics Games in Salt
Lake City, Utah. CAP
members also provided
security flights over the
launch site for space
shuttle Columbia in January
2003.
With its large base of
trained members, Civil Air
Patrol has the resources
already in place to support
reconnaissance, aerial
imaging, disaster relief,
transportation and
counterdrug missions
nationwide. CAP has
demonstrated that it is a
cost-effective force
multiplier for
national homeland security.
