The [[Civil Air Patrol]] defines a different set of nets:

!Usage
|-
|'''Command and Control (C2) Nets'''
|For conveying messages and information between different locations and levels of command. This is where formal messages are exchanged, so it serves the same purpose as an IARU Traffic net.
|-
|'''Tactical Net'''
|A Tactical Net is established whenever a requirement exists to coordinate the actions of deployed units in a mobile or portable environment. The primary purpose is to support deployed units, and it would generally be conducted from an [[Incident Command Post]]
|-
|'''Liaison Nets'''
|Anytime CAP is involved with other agencies, CAP may be invited to participate on their frequencies or a previously signed agreement may allow the other agencies on CAP frequencies.
|-
|'''Contingency Nets'''
|Communications managers at each level have the authority to initiate stand-by nets, placing CAP radio stations within their span of control on alert to be available for developing conditions that may result in mission activity.
|-
|'''Training Net'''
|Communication managers may establish nets for training purposes, such as to teach radio procedures to novice operators, or new skills and procedures to more advanced operators.
