Squadron Patch Heraldry

On a disc of Or, fess point, Pegasus is rampant, with wings elevated and dis-

played Sable. Sinister a Gules three-bladed propeller centered inside an equi-

lateral triangle Argent bordered in Azure, all within a narrow bordure Or.

Attached above the disc, a Black scroll edged with a narrow Or border and

inscribed, “CIVIL AIR PATROL” in Or letters.

Attached below the disc, a Black scroll edged with a narrow Or border and

inscribed with “LOUISVILLE COMPOSITE SQ” in Or letters.

Ultramarine blue and Air Force yellow are the Air Force colors. Blue alludes to

the sky, the primary theater of Air Force operations. Yellow refers to the sun

and the excellence required of Air Force personnel; symbolizing the connec-

tion between the Civil Air Patrol and its Parent Organization. The tri-propeller

reflects CAP’s three core missions, Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education

and Emergency Services. The Rampant Pegasus represents the readiness

and power the unit displays over the air and ground in support of the mission.

The Pegasus also symbolizes the commitment the squadron has in support of

the Louisville community.

Kentucky Wing Encampment

The dates for the 2017 Kentucky Wing Encampment are 18-25 June 2017. This activity is returning to the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center, in Greenville, KY. I have already begun making contacts with Military units to support us for this activity. At this time, I am not going to divulge my plans or the schedule, but I can promise you, the Cadets of Kentucky Wing, that if all goes as I envision.... this will be an encampment to remem-ber.....so please.... If you have never been to an encampment....plan on being there... If you have been to encampment.... consider applying for staff....... If you have been there and done that... consider the advanced en-campment this year...it may be unlike anything you have ever expe-rienced... If you are a Senior Member and think that there is nothing to gain from the encampment experience...come see what we have to of-fer... At this time I am formally announcing that the applications are being accepted for the Cadet Executive Staff. We are filling the following positions: Cadet Commander ....Must be at least a C/Maj by encampment Cadet Deputy Commander.... Must be at least C/Capt by encamp-ment Cadet Exec Officer....Must be at least C/Capt by encampment Cadet First Sergeant...... Must be C/CMSgt by encampment If you feel you are qualified and would like to apply, please forward me an email with your letter of intent and a brief resume describing your qualifications. I will then meet with all applicants at each groups Joint Training Assemblies between December and February. From that point, applications will be accepted to fill 3 Squadron Commander and 6 Flight Sgt positions. The Squadron / Flight Com-mander as well as the Flight Sgt position for the 4th (Advanced En-campment) will be determined latter from those who are eligible and apply for those positions.

I will also be looking to recruit several Cadet NCO's / officers and

Seniors for the Instructor Staff. So if you would like to attend en-

campment and teach.... this will be a great opportunity.

I also am going to require the assistance of Seniors to fill the posi-

tions of TAC officers. I will need at least 1 Tac from officer for each

flight to include at least 1 Female Senior member. For any of you

wishing to help with this role.....Please just respond to me at mri-

ley@kywg.cap.gov mailto:mriley@kywg.cap.gov with your contact

information. I will provide more information to you privately.
