Drill & Ceremony for Senior Members

Civil Air Patrol is the auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Because of our close ties to the military, it is natural for drill and ceremonies to be included in some of our activities. 
 

 

Drill is used as a way to develop individual and group response to authority by following orders promptly and precisely, build teamwork and espirit de corps, and to move masses of people from one place to another in an orderly fashion. 
 

 

Military formations, drill and ceremonies are an important part of the Cadet Program. Logically, it is also a part of the Senior Member Training Program and as a senior member you should be knowledgeable of some military style formations, ceremonies and basic marching movements. You will be exposed to military formations and ceremonies during functions such as formations at your unit meetings, ceremonies, various schools, encampments, parades and other special activities and events.
 

 

Descriptions and illustrations of military formations, ceremonies and basic marching movements that senior members are expected to learn and be prepared to perform upon occassion will be included during this training session. If you have not completed your Level II Part 2, this session will help you complete "BASIC DRILL" lesson.
 

 

Please join us in our Drill & Ceremony Education & Training session for senior members with our trainer, a former cadet turning senior member, Jake Cobb.

All senior members from Group 2 are invited.
