By: SSgt Chris Yaroch

I was thinking it would be cool to list some of the CAP ranger-type programs that exist / existed in CAP. Here's the list I have compiled.

 

National:

National HQ. - Pararescue Orientation Course, National Survival School, *National Blue Beret

North Central Region - *North Central Region Special Service Corps (aka Blue Beret)**

Missouri - Pathfinder Technical School

New Mexico - Ranger School

Pennsylvania - Pennsylvania Wing Rangers (aka Hawk Mountain, Airborne Rangers)**

Puerto Rico - Fajardo Ranger School

Notes:

*All programs listed are now the current National Blue Beret

** Programs were a part of the National Emergency Assistance Training (NEAT) Program

# Program was started by the Pennsylvania Wing Rangers.

? Unsure if previously listed program used this as a nickname or if this was a separate program.  We are certain that this program did exist at one time.

 

"If anybody has any information on any of these programs or others we have not mentioned, please forward the name, specific information and pictures on this.  Thank you!"
