Emergency services[]
The Civil Air Patrol provides emergency services support missions, which includes performing search and rescue and disaster relief missions, and assisting in humanitarian aid assignments. CAP provides Air Force support through conducting light transport, communications support, and low-altitude route surveys. The Civil Air Patrol also offers support to counter-drug missions.[5]
