Disaster Relief: Often overlooked but vitally important is the role CAP plays in disaster relief
operations. CAP provides air and ground transportation, and an extensive communications network.
We fly disaster officials to remote locations, and support local, state and national disaster relief
organizations with manpower and leadership.
In fact, CAP has formal agreements with many humanitarian relief agencies such as the American Red
Cross, Federal Management Agency, Federal Aviation Administration, and Coast Guard.
Humanitarian Services: Closely related to disaster relief is CAP's support of humanitarian
missions. Usually in support of the Red Cross, CAP air crews transport time-sensitive medical
materials including blood and human tissue in situations where other means of transportation are not
possible.
Air Force Support: It's hardly surprising that CAP performs several missions in direct support of
the U.S. Air Force. Specifically, CAP conducts damage assessment, radiological monitoring, light
transport, communications support, and low-altitude route surveys.
Counternarcotics: CAP joined the "war on drugs" in 1986 when CAP signed an agreement with
the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Customs Service offering CAP resources to be used to stem the flow of
drugs into and within the United States. Today, CAP has similar agreements with the Drug
Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Forest Service. CAP personnel do not carry firearms and
have no law enforcement powers. Their duties with these agencies is to help transport their personnel
and low-altitude surveys.

Search and Rescue (SAR): Perhaps best known for its search and rescue efforts, CAP now
flies more than 85 percent of all inland SAR missions directed by the Air Force Rescue Coordination
Center at Langley AFB, Virginia. Overseas, CAP supports the Joint Rescue Coordination Centers in
Hawaii and Puerto Rico. In Michigan, CAP works closely with State and local police forces for missing
persons search.
