CAP Members,


Applications for the ACES Squadron close on July 10, 2026. If you have not yet submitted your materials, time is running short.


The Aerospace Competition & Economic Security (ACES) Squadron is a Board-approved prototype initiative that explores how the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary can leverage specialized civilian expertise to support Department of the Air Force priorities. CAP is seeking founding members from disciplines including aerospace, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, logistics, finance, strategic communications, public affairs, technology, academia, and executive leadership. CAP is also still accepting applications for the inaugural ACES Squadron Commander.


Members may join the squadron directly or participate as attached members while remaining assigned to their current CAP unit.

To apply, submit a letter of interest, a resume or CAP biography, and a summary of relevant experience to Col Joe Winter, ACES Prototype Lead, at jwinter@capnhq.gov by July 10, 2026.


Respectfully,


Major General Regena M. Aye, CAP 

CEO/National Commander
