  • Coast Guard Auxiliary .Pdf
    U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY POLICY STATEMENT The U.S. Coast Guard is America’s maritime first responder and stands ready to protect the public from all threats and all hazards. All members of the Coast Guard forces play a critical role in every mission area – supporting maritime security, safety and stewardship. The Coast Guard Auxiliary provides capabilities and proficiencies that support these capacities and ensure we remain responsive to our communities and the Nation. The Auxiliary is a force multiplier of vetted and trained volunteers devoted to the support of Coast Guard missions and provides a broad inventory of vital skills, assets, and experience for our units across the nation. As the leading volunteer organization in the Department of Homeland Security, it is an essential component of our daily operations and an effective resource primed to prevent and respond to catastrophes in the maritime region. Fittingly, the core strategic purpose of the Auxiliary is to continuously hone its expertise to perform three prioritized functions: (1) Promote and improve recreational boating safety; (2) Support Coast Guard maritime homeland security efforts; and (3) Support the Coast Guard’s operational, administrative, and logistical requirements. The Coast Guard Auxiliary shall remain Semper Paratus, providing a dynamic flexibility within its organizational programs in order to meet today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges. Through focused partnerships and public outreach, it shall advocate and advance maritime domain awareness and the principles of safe boating. Its diverse assortment of vessels, aircraft, radio facilities, and vehicles shall be kept poised for the multi-mission tasking that characterizes Coast Guard operations.
