The Georgia Wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is the highest echelon of CAP in the State of Georgia. Georgia Wing headquarters are located near the center of the state at Fort Indiantown Gap.

Georgia Wing is abbreviated as "GAWG", and is often referred to by its members as "GA Wing".

History

Structure

Georgia Wing is the highest echelon of Civil Air Patrol in Georgia. GA Wing reports to Northeast Region CAP, who reports to CAP National Headquarters.

Below the Wing level, Georgia is divided into six smaller groups. Each group conducts its own training and programs, with actual missions assigned to a group from Georgia Wing.

Underneath each group are numerous squadrons. Squadrons are the local level of organization, and squadrons meet weekly to conduct training. There are three types of Civil Air Patrol squadrons. A cadet squadron focus primarily on providing for cadets. A senior squadron is a unit dedicated to allowing senior members to focus on CAP's missions. Composite squadrons have both cadets and senior members working together.

Summer Schools

Basic Encampment

Often referred to only as 'Encampment,' this school is a 9 day condensed version of the Air Force's Basic Training program, modified for cadets age 12-17. The encampment teaches basic cadets the fundamentals of followership and discipline in both an academic and applied environment. This course is traditionally taught at Fort Indiantown Gap.[1]

Cadet Leadership School

CLS is also a 9 day course, offered a few weeks before basic encampment. CLS is similar to Air Force ROTC's Field Training program, focusing on developing cadet's leadership potential. This course involves both classroom instruction and applied leadership skills.[1]

Glider Flight Encampment

Glider Flight Encampment instructs cadets in the principles of flight, culminating in several rides in an unpowered glider.[1]

Powered Flight Encampment

Powered Flight Encampment instructs cadets in the basics of aviation. Cadets learn about ground and air procedures, as well as fly in CAP owned Cessna 172s and 182s. Cadets that do well during the program may earn their solo wings.[1]

Other Schools

Basic Cadet Orientation Course

BCOP is a weekend course to teach new cadets about the fundamentals of Civil Air Patrol. Topics covered include uniform care, basic drill instruction, opportunities available to cadets, as well as fun and fellowship. This course is typically offered in the early spring.

Squadron Leadership School

Squadrons are the local unit of Civil Air Patrol, and this course covers material related to the successful operation of a Civil Air Patrol squadron.
