Civil Air Patrol conducts over 90% of inland search and rescue missions in the US, and saves over 100 lives per year. It has provided vital support for major disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. The Santa Fe Squadron partners with local SAR teams to locate missing persons, aircraft, and vehicles and support other state and federal agency missions. During the pandemic, the New Mexico Wing of CAP logged hundreds of air and ground hours transporting COVID test samples and delivering vaccine to outlying communities. We also engage in community service activities such as Wreaths across America and the Navajo Christmas Airlift.
In CAP, pilots and non-pilots are welcome. You can train as an airborne scanner, observer, or photographer. If you are a pilot, you can qualify as an aircraft commander. Ground-based specialties such as radio operator and staff assistant are also in demand.
In addition to our emergency services mission, a range of opportunities in youth development and aerospace education are available. The squadron also has openings in operations, logistics, education and training, public affairs, IT, safety, administration, and more.
