CAPP 60-20 Civil Air Patrol Drill and Ceremonies

 

 

 

AFMAN 36-2203 has always been the standard for CAP drill and ceremonies, but doesn’t address all of the unique needs of the Civil Air Patrol.   The new CAPP 60-20 takes the Air Force doctrine and expands upon it to create a reference that meets the needs of our members, all in one place.  Features of the new pamphlet include:

 

• More on being a drill instructor and how to instruct drill

• The purpose of each command for use in teaching by Demo-Perf Method

• How to execute commands with 2 or 3 elements in a flight instead of 4

• Fixed errors

• Expanded section on saluting

• Guidon bearer instructions

• Carry guidon

• Consolidated direction on forming and inspecting a squadron

• Group parade

• Squadron parade ceremony

• PT formation options

• Color guard

• Manual of arms
