Missouri Wing Commander Training

Members from across Missouri Wing recently gathered at the Missouri National Guard's Ike Skelton Training Site in Jefferson City, MO, for the Squadron Commanders Course.

The Civil Air Patrol Squadron Commander's Course is a specialized training program designed to prepare new and aspiring unit commanders for leadership roles.

Focusing on the "how-to" of command, topics include command responsibility and accountability, appointing and utilizing staff, cadet protection and safety, financial management, and commander's intent.

The course emphasizes the commander’s responsibility to act as a leader of a volunteer organization and to uphold CAP's core values.

Whether or not they’re interested in commanding, this training helps to develop our members to better serve their units.
