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 by CAP, if they wish.

(The Cass County Composite Squadron is fortunate to have a very well stocked supply room, including most uniforms and sizes. Other squadrons have also been known to contact our squadron to assist with their needs.)
