The Civil Air Patrol is not a static entity, as evidenced by the addition of a new squadron at Socorro, N.M. Formed initially in February with 14 members, the Socorro Composite Squadron now has 25 members. And, it just promoted its first two cadets. Per the CAP fact sheet, the Air Force Auxiliary has some 1,700 units.
Air Force Chief of Staff nominee Gen. Henneth Wilsbach said he'll give special attention to coordinating with the Navy on buys of new weapons like the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile.
