NERCLS HISTORY
IN HISTORY
The Northeast Region Cadet Leadership School was founded to serve the cadets in the Northeast Region. Through strategic leadership training and officership development, the school has educated hundreds of Civil Air Patrol cadets throughout the region and the nation. Although NERCLS has been virtual in recent years, Northeast Region's goal is to have the host wing rotate every year. The most recent wing hosts have been Connecticut Wing and Pennsylvania Wing.
The senior cadet leading NERCLS is typically titled "Cadet Officer in Charge (OIC)", however during the Spring of 2021, NERCLS hosted a basic course and an advanced course, each having its own Cadet Officer in Charge. For Spring 2021, the senior cadet was titled "Cadet Commander", recognizing their responsibility of the entire school and its C/OICs.
