ACES seeks professionals across a wide range of disciplines, including aerospace, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, logistics, finance, strategic communications, public affairs, technology, academia, and executive leadership. Members may join the squadron directly or participate as attached members while remaining assigned to their current CAP unit.

CAP is also seeking candidates to serve as the inaugural ACES Squadron Commander, a unique opportunity to help establish the culture, governance, and operating framework for this prototype effort. Candidates should have demonstrated CAP leadership experience (Wing/Region Commander experience and Lt Col/Col grade are highly desired), strong communication skills, and the ability to work with senior military, government, and industry leaders.
