The auxiliary line · Civil Air Patrol and the Sea Cadet question

The documented size

The auxiliaries are printed at exactly the size their own listings give them — no larger: The Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force's civilian auxiliary, carries South Bend in the Indiana Wing's published organization as a school squadron: IN-806, the John Adams High School Cadet Squadron, a School Enrichment Program in the wing's Group I. A second name, a "South Bend Composite Squadron," persists in federal nonprofit listings with a South Bend post office box — the wing's current organization does not carry it, and whether the composite squadron survives, merged or lapsed is not settled by the sources used here; the wing's listed unit, the Adams cadet squadron, is the documented presence. For the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, the Corps' listings checked carry no South Bend division: the nearest documented Sea Cadet unit is the Stars & Stripes Division, which serves northwest Indiana. The Sea Cadet line is therefore printed as a tested negative — looked for in the Corps' own listings, and not found on this ground.
