20th ACTG CADET CADRE APPLICATION

The 20th Arizona Cadet Training Group is beginning to come together. The first major piece is forming our cadet cadre. We are looking for hardworking, motivated, and excited cadets to apply for this summer's encampment.

To apply, follow the link below. Use the online application to submit everything to the Executive Cadre.

Upon registering, applicants will plan on attending the selection exercise on Sunday, 10 March 2024 at 1200 hours at the Eloy Composite Squadron campus. The campus will be opened at 1115 to allow those that wish to change into their USAF-style Service Dress (Class B) uniform at the location and to ensure there is time to sign in prior to the event starting. The CCSE will start promptly at 1200.

What to bring:

• Completed CAPF 60-81 with your Squadron Commander's approval
• Water and snack
• It is advised to have lunch prior to the start of the CCSE

• Open Ranks Inspection
• Drill Evaluation
• CAP Knowledge Exam (The exam will test knowledge of CAPR 39-1 and CAPP 60-70 as well as drill and leadership concepts)
• Interview
• Team Leadership Problem

The application deadline for the CCSE is 8 March 2024.

If you cannot attend the CCSE and want to apply for Cadet Cadre, you may still do so, however cadets who attend the CCSE will have a greater chance of being selected. Please indicate when registering if you are unable to attend the selection exercise and we will make arrangements for an evaluation.

Shortly after the CCSE, an email will be sent out announcing the selected Cadre for encampment. Cadre will arrive at Fort Huachuca on 5 June 2024 for required staff training. The exact arrival time will be announced at a later date. Cadre must be able to attend both staff training and the full duration of encampment, which will occur from 8 June to 15 June.

Plan ahead and ensure your parents/guardians are aware of the information and dates for encampment.

You should research the pamphlets that national headquarters released on encampment (knowledge of these documents will be evaluated at the CCSE):

CAP Pamphlet 60-70 - Cadet Encampment Guide
CAP Pamphlet 60-71 - Cadet Encampment Handbook
