Mo. Wing Cadets Improve Communication Skills

Missouri Wing's St. Louis Composite Squadron participated in their first NET Night created by one of their cadets with the goal of training others in CAP communications.

C/CMSgt. Liam Walsh worked with his squadron, group, and wing communication officers to develop a full curriculum including how the antenna and radios are set up, a training mission in WMIRS to allow everyone to check in to the NET and see how it's run and logged, and provided ICUT hands-on training certifications.

Twelve members participated in the inaugural event hosted at the cadet's home where he houses a MO CAP communications base station. Chief Walsh plans to offer more of these trainings to their squadron and others in the St. Louis area in 2026.
