Did you know? On this day back in 2015, Gen. Mark A. Welsh III made it official—Civil Air Patrol became part of the U.S. Air Force’s Total Force alongside the regular, Guard, and reserve forces. We’re proud to serve, supporting many different types of missions from disaster response to search and rescue and more.
