MEMORANDUM FOR ALL SQUADRON MEMBERS SUBJECT: COMMANDER’S INTENT FROM: CAPTAIN MICHAEL ROOF, TRI-CITY COMPOSITE SQUADRON COMMANDER

1. I want to take just a moment to outline for you my commander’s intent as we move forward together: MISSION: Our mission is simple, to grow the best cadets in the Michigan Wing. To do this, we will use all the tools and experience of others at our disposal: cultivate leadership and character in every member (for cadets and for senior members), expose our cadets to the wonders of STEM, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services training. We will help our cadets learn about and internalize CAP’s Core Values by modeling them at every meeting, at every opportunity. We will work as one team with one goal: owning the best experience we can have in CAP. END STATE: We will have a squadron even more successful and vibrant than before. Our squadron will be a respected organization in the wing and in the community; more important, our cadets will be leaders. Their parents will remark at their positive growth and development in the program. And the cadets themselves will grow into outstanding young men and women who will in turn lead us.
2. You are the best members in Michigan Wing and we can, and will, succeed together.

MICHAEL ROOF, CAPTAIN, CAP Commander, Tri-City Composite Squadron
