They perform and provide operational control, service training, administrative and logistic support to the volunteers of the Service.

Volunteer Establishment
The Civil Aid Service Volunteer Establishment is a uniformed and disciplined, government-financed, volunteer emergency measure organisation. The Service has an establishment of 3,634 adult members and 3,232 youths of 12 - 17 years old. It was formed in 1952 as a wartime-oriented civil defence unit. Since then, it has grown into a board-based volunteer organisation, capable of undertaking a wide range of emergency duties and helping to relieve the pressure on Hong Kong's full-time emergency forces.
