[[Civil Air Patrol]] operates through squadrons, which are the basic units by which CAP achieves its goals. There are three types of squadrons: cadet squadrons, composite squadrons, and senior squadrons. A squadron must have at least 15 members, including 3 senior members. If the membership goes below 15, the squadron may be re-designated as a flight.<ref name=":0">{{Pub|CAPM|20-01}}</ref><ref>{{Pub|AFI|10-2701}}</ref><ref>{{Pub|CAPP|50-5}}</ref>

=== Creation of a Squadron ===
Creating a new squadron requires a minimum of 3 senior members and sufficient interest from potential members. Initially, the wing commander appoints a squadron commander. The squadron commander then assigns senior members to leadership roles which must be official CAP members.<ref>{{Pub|CAPR|20-3}}</ref><ref>{{Pub|CAPP|52-21}}</ref>

Once approved by '''Wing Headquarters''', the squadron is assigned a number and fully recognized as a unit capable of participating in CAP missions.

=== Squadron Types ===
* '''Cadet squadrons''': Primarily composed of cadets with at least 3 senior members. Their focus is on youth leadership, character development, and aerospace education.
* '''Composite squadrons''': A mix of cadets and senior members, these squadrons handle both the Cadet Program and Emergency Services missions, often involving search-and-rescue operations.
* '''Senior squadrons''': Exclusively made up of senior members, these squadrons focus on Emergency Services, aerospace education, and other non-cadet-related missions.<ref name=":0" />

=== Squadron Flights ===
Squadrons may organize into smaller units called flights, which can range from 2 to 3 per squadron, depending on size and structure. Flights are typically organized based on members’ experience levels.<ref>https://mn048.cap.gov/home-dropdown/chain-of-command</ref><ref>https://sq144.cap.gov/members/sq144-cadet-guide/new-cadet-guide-tango-flight</ref>

* '''Alpha Flight''': Composed of more experienced members who often take on leadership and training responsibilities.
* '''Bravo Flight''': Generally consists of newer members or cadets, focusing on basic training and skill development.
* '''Tango Flight''': Sometimes designated for prospective cadets or recruits, particularly those up to the rank of C/AB (Cadet Airman Basic), providing an introduction to the CAP environment.

Not all squadrons utilize flights, and their internal structure may vary depending on size and operational goals.
