| CAP Uniform Information |
| Part of being in the Civil Air Patrol is wearing the proper
uniform and looking sharp. Civil Air Patrol members are easily
recognized in the community by the variety of uniforms in which
they wear. CAP members are authorized to wear CAP distinctive
uniforms as well as uniforms similar to the U.S. Air Force.
The Civil Air Patrol is the official United States Air Force auxiliary
and members are authorized to wear the Air Force style uniform
with distinguishing emblems, insignia, and badges to identify
individuals wearing the US Air Force Style Uniform. Wear of the
AF-style uniforms, as well as the insignia, badges, and devices
worn on these uniforms are as prescribed by the Commander, CAP-USAF,
with the approval of Headquarters USAF.
Members are also authorized to wear uniforms that are distinctive
of the Civil Air Patrol with emblems and insignia and badges specific
to CAP. Civil Air Patrol prescribes wear policy and the use of
CAP emblems, insignia, and badges on the CAP distinctive uniforms.
The minimum basic uniforms for male and female cadets and senior
members will satisfy most occasions and are listed below. Members
may also obtain and wear the additional uniforms and items authorized
