In 2010, cadets of the California Cadet Advisory Council (CAC) worked to develop an event that was not training focused but one that aimed to have cadet and seniors come together to socialize and have fun. The initial concept was voted on and approved by the cadet council and then sent to the Wing Commander where it was also approved.  The cadets involved in its creation continued to develop the program.  In 2011, CAWG held its first UBWC at Vandenberg AFB, before moving the activity to Sierra Christian Camp in Posey, CA where it has continued to call home every since.  Through development and the years of execution the mission and priorities of the activity have not changed.

Priority #1: For Cadets and Senior members from local squadrons to come together at a Wing level activity to socialize and have fun.  To renew relationships built at other activities and create new relationships that will last for a lifetime.

Priority #2: The competition.
