TRAINING
"Introduction to Inspections" is the initial course required for all Inspectors General (IG), assistant IG's (IGA) and Inspection Augmentees (IA). Open to all CAP personnel. Consult your Wing IG if interested.
"Advanced Inspections" is the second IG course, required for all IG's and IGA's. Any IA's wishing to serve as a Subordinate Unit Inspection (SUI) Team Chief must also complete this course.
REGULATIONS
The 20 series of CAPRs governs the Inspector General program. All three regulations have been updated in the past two years. Further modifications to the inspection processes (Compliance Inspections for wings, Subordinate Unit Inspections for groups, squadrons and flights) are expected this year. These will include new versions of the CI and SUI guide that will be more practical and mission focused.
All three regulations, as well as the two inspection guides, are available on CAP eServices under the tab marked CAP Pubs, Forms and Regulations.
QUESTIONS
In general, the best place to get information or deal with situations is at the local level, working with your unit commander. Your first source for IG assistance or inquiries should always be your wing IG.
The region IG and assistant IGs are available to help with any matter that cannot be answered or addressed locally.
