Welcome to the Encampment web

Wing encampments are for cadets. It's a required step as part of the cadet program for a cadet to become a cadet officer. Almost all states host their own encampment depending on demand and host facilities available. Typically encampments are held at military installations that are better suited such large groups and one of the goals of encampment is to expose cadets to a wide variety of military careers.

Encampment is not a boot camp. Many cadets are in the 12-14 year old age range. Therefore, a hard core military style is not appropriate. Encampment is heavily structured and is designed to teach new cadets the basics of drill, uniforms, customs and courtesies and attention to detail in a military setting. Cadets are expected to take this new information and train cadets of their home squadron. Many cadets return to encampment the following years to serve on cadet staff and a few of them will be Cadet Commander. There is a huge range of leadership opportunities here for cadet staff.

The encampment location and dates have changed! Effective Thursday, 26 Apr 2007, the 2007 North Carolina Wing Encampment will be held at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Dates are set for 23-30 Jun 2007. We were supposed to be at Fort Bragg/Pope AFB, but the billeting was just not available and we recently had to relocate back to Cherry Point.

This year's Encampment Commander is Major Joe Morris

The Commandant of Cadets is Major David Siemiet
