What is a Civil Air Patrol Unit? What is a charter number?

Civil Air Patrol is a national organization made up of locally chartered units. Each squadron has its own unit commander, adult staff, cadet leadership, and charter number.

Our Buffalo City Units are:

  • NER-NY-614 | Buffalo Creek Cadet Squadron — REACH Academy Charter School

  • NER-NY-615 | Buffalo Guardians Cadet Squadron — WNY Maritime Charter School

  • NER-NY-616 | Path Carver Cadet Squadron — Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School

NER identifies the Northeastern Region, NY identifies New York Wing, and the final number identifies the individual squadron.

What do units actually do during the meetings? When do meetings happen?

Flights meet each week at their unit location. The cadets have 2 hours of activities. Meetings are broken into 2 halves: 1st Half, Snack Break, 2nd Half.

  • Squadrons have at least one Saturday activity each month.

  • Squadrons are the units that prepare cadets for WNY, New York State, and National event participation.

  • We train the cadets and promote them through the ranks and promote them to unit and leadership roles.

  • We are the cadets’ “CAP Family".
