IACE Participant

Welcome, 2024 CAP IACE Ambassadors!

Congratulations! You have been selected to be a CAP IACE Ambassador for the 2024 International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE). Being a CAP IACE Ambassador is an honor and privilege that only a few CAP members get to experience.

The fee for this activity is $1,400. To secure your activity slot, a $200 non-refundable deposit is due by 31 March 2024. The remaining balance of $1,200 is due NLT 30 April unless you have made other arrangements with the Activity Director. Payments are completed in eServices or by using the eServices payment form.

Upon your acceptance as a CAP IACE Ambassador (by 15 March), you will receive an email with instructions to join a WhatsApp group and a Google Classroom. It is important that you join these ASAP as you will receive important information, deadlines, meeting schedules, and homework assignments via these connections. Google Classroom is a secure site to place your information.

Proceed to the National Cadet Special Activities – International Air Cadet Exchange webpage and download the 2024 Ambassador’s Guide. The Ambassador’s Guide will provide you with very important information regarding your duties starting from today through the Exchange.

All required documentation must be completed and submitted following the IACE Ambassador Guide deadlines. Failure to meet the required deadlines could result in loss of your CAP IACE Ambassador slot.

If additional assistance is needed, please use the IACE@capnhq.gov email address for all questions to the CAP IACE National Team relating to your Ambassador Duties and form/document submissions. You will also be contacted by the IACE Deputy Activity Director for information throughout the activity preparation process.

All travel will be arranged by the CAP IACE National Team. You will be sent your travel arrangements/e-ticket specific to you and your trip. Dates for this year's Exchange are 7-23 July (Except for those going to Australia and New Zealand who will begin travel on 5 July).

We require all participants to have travel insurance to cover expenses that may occur if a participant gets infected with COVID, another serious injury or illness while overseas. This is in addition to their required regular medical insurance.  More information about travel insurance is in the Ambassador Guide.

It is imperative that all participants answer all of the medical history, current medications and other medical issues fully so we can assure they can safely participate.

Immunizations:  All participants will be required to follow the current host government COVID or other medical requirements at the time of travel. Requirements may change with the passage of time. There can be no waivers to host country COVID or other medical requirements. Check with the CDC website for information on immunizations you may need. Required immunizations must be obtained locally, and at your expense. (NOTE:  As of 24 February 2024 there are no requirements.)

Our participant informational meeting will be 27 March at 8:30pm (Eastern time).  All CAP IACE Ambassadors and the cadet’s parents are invited to attend. Meeting link will be sent via email NLT 15 March.
