Level V: The Executive Leadership Phase
Welcome to Level V ! After completing Level IV, you are prepared for Level V. The primary focus in Level V is on developing a strategic view of the organization and continued leadership skills. Level V focuses on developing the region or national level leader who aspires to serve on staff or as a commander.
This is the highest level of CAP career development and is for those officers performing duty as commanders or staff officers at the region or national level. As such, only the members most dedicated to advancing their education and training complete this level.
Successful completion of Level V of the Education and Training Program qualifies the CAP officer for the Gill Robb Wilson Award, the highest education and training award earned by a senior member. The award honors an airman, poet, writer, and founder of CAP.
Should you have any questions about what you are learning in Level V please do not hesitate to talk to your mentor, unit PDO/ETO, or unit Commander.
