As a volunteer with the CAP you can not only help train and prepare our young people to participate in Search and Rescue missions, but you can participate as well. Perhaps you are interested in our emergency services, cadet programs, aerospace education, or our aviation activities.
While the central focal point of our effort is training and preparation of ground team members and aircrew for the Alabama Wing, there are many opportunities available to non-flying members such as radio communications, logistics, planning, aerial photography, sUAS pilots, cyber security specialists, aerospace educators and cadet leadership trainers and mentors.
Maxwell Composite Squadron is continually training and preparing members to utilize their skills to respond to that emergency call to serve the public in a time of need. Consider visiting Maxwell Composite Squadron meets each Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. on Maxwell AFB, Alabama.
We invite and welcome you to be our guest for an evening at one of our weekly squadron meetings. ADVANCE NOTICE IS REQUIRED. When you arrive (we will meet you at the front Welcome Center and escort you on base), where you'll get a chance to meet some of our members who can share with you the organization and provide you with information and answer any questions you might have.
