Squadron Officially Renamed

March 28

Saturday March 26th 2011.  Cape Cod Composite Squadron was officially renamed Saturday at the Massachusetts CAP Wing Conference to Cape Cod Coastal Patrol Base 18 Composite Squadron in honor of the brave men and women of the Falmouth, MA based Coastal Patrol.

Coast Patrol Base 18 protected our shores from enemy submarines during World War II and was the foundation upon which the Civil Air Patrol was built.

Squadron Commander Lt Col Kevin K. Lynch was presented with the new squadron patch which was also the original Coast Patrol Base 18 patch.
