Tennessee Wing Emergency Services

Civil Air Patrol’s Tennessee Wing supports federal, state, and local agencies through trained volunteers, aircraft, vehicles, communications equipment, and other mission resources.

Tennessee Wing members prepare to assist with search and rescue, disaster response, aerial reconnaissance and imagery, communications support, transportation, incident management, and other authorized missions.

Emergency Services Opportunities

Emergency Services depends on members serving in many different roles, including:

• Pilots and aircrew members

• Ground teams

• Aerial photographers

• Communications personnel

• Mission base and incident command staff

• Logistics and transportation personnel

• Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems personnel

• Planning, safety, and support staff

Members must complete the training and qualification requirements associated with their assigned roles before participating in operational missions.
