Squadron 2 is New Mexico's only designated Senior Squadron. The title indicates that the squadron comprises adult members only. Squadrons which combine involvement in mission flights with separate programs for adolescents are called composite squadrons. There are ten composite squadrons in New Mexico,  and two comprising cadets exclusively. Although Squadron 2 has no formal cadet program, its pilots log many hours in CAP cadet orientation flights and regularly tow gliders in the cadet glider training and encampment programs.

The Squadron 2 roster for January 2004 lists a membership of one hundred twenty-four. Of the more than sixty licensed pilots on the list, fifty-two are Mission Pilots, authorized to fly CAP aircraft during search and rescue and various other types of flights assigned to CAP by various government agencies. Thirteen non-pilots are Observers, members who have completed course work and satisfied requirements to participate as crew in various mission flights. The remaining group includes members in various phases of training or satisfaction of CAP flight requirements.

During the periods between actual missions, training, and proficiency flying, members work in a variety of administrative, maintenance, and clerical roles for both the squadron and New Mexico Wing. The organizational structure within which they work is patterned after the basic structure of USAF Squadron and Wing deployments.
