Paul E. Garber Award

The program enables these adults to develop these skills while providing a vital public service to the US nation.

Each level requires the member to become more involved in CAP activities, master skills in one of 23 technical areas, and develop leadership ability.

As he or she completes these levels, the member receives awards, chances for promotion, and selection for more important roles within CAP.

Finally, they must complete CAP’s mid-level leadership course, Region Staff College, or approved equivalent.

Receipt of the award and completion of rank and time-in-grade requirements also makes the member eligible for promotion to CAP Major.
