CAP Form 2 - Civil Air Patrol Promotion Request

Cap Form 2 PDF Details

CAP Form 2 manages promotion actions for every Civil Air Patrol member across all grades and organizational roles. The personal data section captures the member's name, CAP identification number, charter number, current grade, and unit assignment. Training data requirements are organized by grade level, listing every course and award a cadet or senior member must complete before requesting advancement to a higher grade.

Four promotion methods are available on the form: duty performance, special appointment based on unique qualifications or reinstatements, mission-related skill promotions, and professional appointments. Each method includes specific time-in-grade requirements and course prerequisites. A separate section covers demotion requests, detailing the administrative items and procedures applicable to each case. Commanders at the flight, squadron, group, wing, and national level use the form's signature blocks to recommend and approve each grade change.

Keep a copy of the approved form in your personal reference file after submission. For related Civil Air Patrol documents, see the CAP Form 31 and CAP Form 32. Members completing a personnel action form for non-promotion changes should also reference Form 2 for grade verification.
