INTRODUCTION

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is a volunteer service organization,

civilian in nature, open to both men and women who are citizens of the United

States, its territories and possessions, and who are age seventeen or older. The

purpose of the Coast Guard Auxiliary is to assist the Coast Guard in any of its

missions except where prohibited by statute, such as in direct law enforcement and

military actions. 

Auxiliarists are proud of their membership and training. When you wear the

uniform or fly the Auxiliary Ensign, you are a member of Team Coast Guard. Your

actions as a member of this organization will reflect directly on the United States

Coast Guard. In many areas, you will be the Coast Guard’s only link with the

public. This recognition is a PRIVILEGE as well as a RESPONSIBILITY.

As the civilian volunteer arm of the Coast Guard, we volunteer time, talents, boats,

radios, and aircraft. We are given special training in order to work effectively with

the Coast Guard. The fellowship and satisfaction accompanying our activities are

also a benefit from our service.

To aid you in your understanding of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and its missions, you

will be referred to the Auxiliary Manual COMDTINST M16790.1(series) for

additional information. As a member, you should keep your copy of the Auxiliary

Manual in a convenient place; so as to have ready answers, to just about any

question you might have about the Auxiliary and how it functions.

PROLOGUE

HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD (USCG)

The history of the Coast Guard is almost as old as that of the United States. On 4 August 1790, President

George Washington signed a bill passed by Congress, authorizing the construction of ten boats; this was

the beginning of the Coast Guard. First named the Revenue Marine, then changed to the Revenue Cutter

Service, its mission was to guard the new country’s coastline against smugglers.

On 28 January 1915, President Woodrow Wilson approved the act authorizing the merger of the Revenue

Cutter Service and the U.S. Lifesaving Service, which was a logical consolidation since both services had

worked closely together within the Treasury Department for nearly a century. Their common aim had been

to protect life and property from the ravages of the sea. The “new” service was named the United States

Coast Guard. 

As provided in the Congressional Act of 28 January 1915, amended, the Coast Guard is a military service

at all times--a branch of the armed forces of the United States. Because of this status, in times of war or

whenever so directed by the President, the Coast Guard operates as a separate service under the

Department of the Navy, at which time the Commandant reports to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief

of Naval Operations.

On 1 April 1967, after nearly 177 years in the Treasury Department, the Coast Guard moved to the new

Department of Transportation. When operating under the Department of Transportation, during times of

peace, the Commandant, as Chief of the Service, is responsible to the Secretary, who, as a member of the

President’s cabinet, gives the Coast Guard top representation in the Executive Branch of the government. 

The overall authority for Coast Guard Auxiliary administration is vested by law in the Commandant.

The Coast Guard has a wide variety of missions. Properly trained Auxiliarists assist with many

of these, a summary of which follows:

SEARCH AND RESCUE (SAR): One of the oldest missions, rescuing those in peril at sea has

priority over all other Coast Guard peacetime missions. The purpose of this mission is to

reduce loss of life, injury, and property damage on the high seas and in U.S. waters.

PORT SAFETY AND SECURITY (PS&S): The aim of this program is to safeguard the

nation’s ports, waterways, waterfront facilities, vessels, personnel, and property, and to prevent

accidental or intentional damage, disruption, destruction or injury.

MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE (MEP): This program is intended to lessen the

damage caused by pollutants released in the coastal zone. It also aids in national and

international pollution response planning and makes every effort to recover the cost to the

Federal government following a response.
- 3 -

ICE OPERATIONS (ICEOPS): Conducting both polar and domestic ice operations, the

Coast Guard is the only federal agency operating icebreakers, which provide help and

oceanographic support to a number of other programs. It also conducts the International Ice

Patrol, which was started in 1912 after the ocean liner TITANIC struck an iceberg and sank.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON): This program sets up, operates, and maintains aids to

navigation throughout the United States and in other areas of the world.

MARINE SAFETY: Two major activities comprise this program. COMMERCIAL VESSEL

SAFETY (CVS) affects those engaged in commercial or scientific activity in the marine

environment. The mission of the RECREATIONAL BOATING SAFETY PROGRAM (RBS)

includes activities of the Auxiliary conducted on behalf of the federal, state, and local governments

to improve the knowledge, skills, and operating environment of the recreational boater.

DEFENSE READINESS: This program ensures the Coast Guard can function as an effective

armed force, in both peace and war.

ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND TREATIES (ELT): In 1790, Alexander Hamilton formed

a “fleet of cutters” to suppress smuggling. Today, drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, and

fisheries enforcement have made this program one of the Coast Guard’s most visible missions.

The operating unit is the basic element in the Coast Guard operational chain. Besides

Operational Units, the Coast Guard also maintains support units, such as the Coast Guard

Academy in New London, Connecticut; the Coast Guard Institute in Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma; the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland; training centers, supply centers, and

others.

Despite the name changes, the Coast Guard has kept its identity as an organization. In point of

active service, the Coast Guard is the oldest of the nation’s seagoing armed forces.

CHAPTER - 1

HISTORY, PURPOSE, & ADMINISTRATION

OF THE U.S.C.G. AUXILIARY

Congress established a “United States Coast Guard Reserve” in 1939 to be administered by the

Commandant of the Coast Guard. It was composed of unpaid, volunteer citizens of the United

States who owned motor boats and yachts. They were to aid the Coast Guard in promoting small

boat safety. Congressional action in 1941 created a military Reserve of the Coast Guard, and the

original volunteer reserve was renamed the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Auxiliary assists the

Coast Guard in all its missions except direct law enforcement and military operations.

Keeping records is a part of various Auxiliary missions and activities. This record keeping is

accomplished through the Auxiliary Management Information System (AUXMIS).

THE AUXILIARY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (AUXMIS)

AUXMIS contains personal and activity data for all Auxiliary members and units. Its function as

a management tool can only be effective if members make accurate and timely activity input. 

Members will find complete descriptions of proper Auxiliary forms and their uses in the Auxiliary

Member Forms Guide, COMDTINST M16790.2 (series). You will gradually become familiar

with the forms as you engage in different activities. There are a few, however, you may

encounter fairly early in your Auxiliary experience; three of them are discussed below. Samples of

these forms are included in this guide.

FORM: CGAUX-33 - CHANGE OF MEMBER INFORMATION

Some of the information you furnish the Auxiliary will change, and this form is used to

be sure your data are kept current. Examples would include changes in your address,

phone number, occupation, and the person you want to have contacted in the event

of an emergency. Each individual member submits the form through the

flotilla. The instructions for completing the form are printed on it.

FORM: CGAUX-26 - ACTIVITY REPORT — MISSION

Once you become trained to perform one or more of the Auxiliary’s major activities or

missions, you will be expected to report the work done in those areas. For example,

if you become qualified as a crew member, you will need to fill out a Form CGAUX-26

when you complete a patrol mission. The form asks for such information as the location

of your mission, the number of hours in preparation, travel, and the hours spent actually

performing the activity. It is vital to the Auxiliary and to the Coast Guard that you

submit this information promptly. Future plans and actions may be based upon studies

from these reports. Your flotilla’s Information Services Officer (FSO-IS) is your

source for help in filling out those first few forms.
- 5 -

FORM: CGAUX-31 - MEMBER ACTIVITY REPORT

You probably won’t need to use Form CGAUX-26 yet, but you do need to ask for a copy

of Form CGAUX-31, because you will be using it right away. The hours you volunteer

are valuable to the Coast Guard. With these records, the Auxiliary demonstrates service

which is an important resource for our nation. All activities that are not reported on some

other form, should be tallied on this form. Instructions for its use are printed on the back

of the form. All of your hours, however reported, count toward earning the “Coast Guard

Sustained Auxiliary Service Award,” which is discussed in the Auxiliary Manual.

Examples of activities you would record would include attendance at meetings,

training, working on committees, and time in preparation and travel. Remember, if

the hours you spent were reported on a different form, they should not be “doublereported” on the CGAUX-31. If in doubt, ask your Flotilla Information Services

Officer (FSO-IS).

It is a good idea to enter your hours on this form promptly after performing the

activity, while details are still fresh in your mind. It is always a good idea to

keep a copy for yourself. You will be able to keep track of your progress toward the

Coast Guard Sustained Auxiliary Service Award ribbon. The most important thing, of

course, is that your records will enable the Auxiliary and the Coast Guard to see just

where the real work is being done.

CHAPTER - 4

AUXILIARY ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Auxiliary is structured with four basic administrative and supervisory levels with Auxiliary elected and

appointed officers at each level. Chapter 4 of the Auxiliary Manual contains the general authority and duties

of Auxiliary officers. These duties may be further specified in other documents, provided they do not conflict

with the provisions of the Auxiliary Manual. In addition to the manual, additional information may be found

in Commandant instructions and publications, District instructions and procedures guides and the Auxiliary

National Program. The four administrative levels are flotilla, division, district, and national.

The senior elected officer of each unit, at each level, appoints a staff. These staff officers aid in the

administration of that unit. Staff officer designations show not only the staff function, but also the staff level

at which the officer functions. Staff positions at the flotilla level have the prefix “ FSO-,” at the division

level “ SO-,” and at the district level “ DSO-.”

Below is a list of all authorized flotilla staff officers. Also included is a brief description of the responsibility

for each.

MEMBER TRAINING (FSO-MT). As the name implies, this officer is responsible for

administering all training of flotilla members. This includes boat crew, instructor, and

vessel examiner training. Conducting all required Operations, Instructor, and Vessel

Examiner Workshops is another FSO-MT responsibility. For these, the FSO-MT must

coordinate with the Operations, Public Education, and Vessel Examiner Staff Officers.

This position is very important to a growing flotilla and requires a dedicated, imaginative,

and industrious individual.

PUBLIC EDUCATION (FSO-PE). This officer is responsible for administering and

scheduling public education courses. Such work includes getting class space, instructors,

and course materials. The FSO-PE must work with the FSO-MT to ensure properly

trained instructors are available for the flotilla. This staff officer also coordinates with the

Public Affairs Staff Officer (FSO-PA) for advanced publicity for the public education

courses.

OPERATIONS (FSO-OP). The Operations Staff Officer is responsible for getting

facilities and crews to meet the patrol activity requested by the Coast Guard. The FSO-OP

must also work with the FSO-MT to be sure properly trained members are available to

conduct the desired patrols.

COMMUNICATIONS (FSO-CM). This officer is primarily concerned with Auxiliary fixed land and

land mobile radio facilities. The duties includes the annual inspection of these facilities and their proper

operation. The FSO-CM works with the FSO-MT to have the Communication Specialty Course

(AUXCOM) taught to those desiring to participate in Auxiliary communications.
- 9 -

VESSEL EXAMINER (FSO-VE). The FSO-VE is responsible for administering the

flotilla’s Courtesy Marine Examination (CME) Program. This effort includes scheduling

CME stations, particularly during CME month. The FSO-VE works with the FSO-MT to be

sure that properly trained Vessel Examiners are available for the flotilla. The FSO-VE

coordinates with the Public Affairs Staff Officer (FSO-PA) for advance publicity about the

CME Program and the CME station schedule. The FSO-VE aids the FSO-OP to have all vessel

facilities inspected before the district facility inspection deadline.

MEMBER RESOURCES (FSO-MR). The Member Resource Staff Officer has two

goals: (1) to recruit, and (2) to retain members. The FSO-MR works primarily with the

FSO-PE and FSO-VE to recruit new members for the flotilla. The PE and CME

Programs offer the most exposure of the flotilla to the boating public. The Instructors and

Vessel Examiners are the prime recruiters for new members. The FSO-MR depends on these

members for flotilla growth. The FSO-MT is a key player in the retention efforts of the flotilla. 

Members expect training and involvement. If training is not done, the flotilla will lose members.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION (FSO-AN). The FSO-AN Officer oversees the flotilla’s

Chart Updating (CU) and Aids to Navigation efforts. The job includes checking Private

Aids to Navigation (PATONs). For this last effort, the flotilla must have enough

qualified Aids Verifiers (AV). Many flotillas also appoint the FSO-AN as the Aids

Verifier Examiner (AVE). The AVE qualifies potential Aids Verifiers.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS (FSO-PA). This staff officer works in cooperation with other

staff officers to get maximum local publicity on flotilla activities.

CAREER COUNSELOR (FSO-CC). The Career Counselor Staff Officer is

responsible for administering the flotilla’s activities in the Academy Introduction

Mission (AIM). This program sponsors high school juniors to visit the Coast Guard

Academy. The FSO-CC also helps with the Recruiting Assistance Program (RAP).

Under this program, the FSO-CC helps local Coast Guard recruiting efforts.

PUBLICATION (FSO-PB). The FSO-PB acts as editor of the unit’s publication. All

flotillas should have some type of publication, or newsletter, to keep members informed of

all flotilla activities. A flotilla publication is important for members who miss a meeting. 

The publication need not be fancy--just a simple mailing of reminders about coming events

to each member, made on a regular basis, will do the job.

FINANCE (FSO-FN). The Flotilla Finance Staff Officer is the bookkeeper of the

flotilla’s finances. The FSO-FN collects members’ dues and PE book sale funds, and

maintains the flotilla’s checking account. The FSO-FN must promptly pay all bills for

Auxiliary dues and other obligations. This staff officer is responsible for preparing an

annual budget and for submitting monthly financial statements.
- 10 -

INFORMATION SERVICES (FSO-IS). While the FSO-FN is the monetary bookkeeper of the flotilla, the FSO-IS provides data entry of all flotilla activity data.. The

FSO-IS is a key player in the Auxiliary Management Information System (AUXMIS).

MATERIALS (FSO-MA). The Auxiliary operates the Auxiliary Center (AUXCEN),

and the Coast Guard operates the Auxiliary National Supply Center (ANSC). The FSOMA, if designated by the Flotilla Commander, orders items from ANSC, such as stationery

and Coast Guard training publications which are paid for at the taxpayers expense. The

FSO-MA also assists members in purchasing items from the AUXCEN through the

District Materials Center, operated by the DSO-MA.

SECRETARY/RECORDS (FSO-SR). The Secretary/Records prepares and distributes

the Minutes of all flotilla meetings. The Flotilla Commander may assign other flotilla

records for the FSO-SR to maintain, such as rosters and standing rules.

MARINE DEALER VISITOR (FSO-MV). The Marine Dealer Visitor provides

boating safety information to marine dealers. Auxiliarists visit specific dealers on a regular

basis and supply them with information and Auxiliary public material regarding boating

safety, Auxiliary public education courses, and Courtesy Marine Examinations.

MEMBER TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS

To enhance the Auxiliarist’s competence and professionalism, members should further their

training. Member training is considered the “backbone” of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and enables

members to contribute fully to Auxiliary activities. Member training is the primary responsibility

of the unit training officer. However, the ultimate responsibility for ensuring member training and

program participation rests with the flotilla commander. Many members

join the Auxiliary to receive advanced training, and the flotilla commander should ensure this

opportunity is available. 

Be sure your Member Training (MT) officer and Flotilla Commander (FC) are made aware of

your areas of interest!!

For information on Auxiliary training opportunities, read the following Sections in Chapter 8 of

the Auxiliary Manual. In addition, all Coast Guard “C” school level training is available to

CHAPTER - 9

REIMBURSEMENT OF AUXILIARISTS

As Auxiliarists, we receive no pay. In addition, most of our expenses are not reimbursed by the

Auxiliary or the Coast Guard. For example, we don’t receive any funding for travel to flotilla

meetings or to other local activities. As you become more involved with the organization, you

will learn there are some instances where reimbursement is made. If you are issued Coast Guard

orders to temporary additional duty (TAD), or you are given reimbursable patrol orders for your

boat, you will be allowed certain expenses, which will be described at the time you get your

orders. Some orders, however, are termed “non-reimbursable.” Read the section on different

“orders” carefully.

Part of the material in Chapter 9 of the Auxiliary Manual will only apply when you become active

in one of the programs, such as on-the-water operations. However, the chapter also discusses

“Minor Damage and Loss claims,” and other material of interest to even the newest member.

For more information, read the following Sections in Chapter 9 of the Auxiliary Manual:

AUXILIARY MEMBER RECOGNITION

Auxiliary members, being volunteers, receive no direct compensation for the many hours of time

and effort they donate to the Coast Guard. The recognition of an Auxiliarist’s service, through

the presentation of timely and appropriate awards, is essential to the success of the Auxiliary

program. In many respects, the recognition received through these awards can be considered a

“paycheck.” The service and actions of the Auxiliarists should receive the appropriate recognition

and awards to the maximum extent possible.

For general information, read Chapter 11 in the Auxiliary Manual. More specifically, refer to the

following Sections:

Award of Operational Merit

Award of Administrative Merit

Award of Merit

Auxiliary Humanitarian Service Award

Making a Recommendation

Specialty Recognition

Auxiliary Program Ribbons

Auxiliary Service Awards

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

11-1 The Coast Guard Sustained Auxiliary Service Award is given to Auxiliarists who have

contributed a total of hours of Auxiliary Service.

11-2 Auxiliary Program Ribbons are awarded in three areas of service. These programs

are , , and .

11-3 Who can recommend that a member be considered for an award?

CONCLUSION

In a short period of time you have learned what the members of a flotilla do as a group, how we

fit into the larger picture of the Auxiliary, and what it takes to become a contributing member. 

Each flotilla requires its members to be ACTIVE and not just joiners!

There are several items you should consider before filling out the Enrollment Application:

1. Do you understand the monetary investment in terms of dues,

 uniforms, and possibly equipment for operations?

2. Are you willing to attend and to become involved in

 flotilla meetings?

3. Will you consider taking advantage of the training available to you

 in order to enhance your knowledge of boating safety, as well as

 your contribution to the flotilla activities?

If your answer is “Yes, yes, and yes,” then we need you; we need your involvement, and we are

looking forward to your membership!

WHERE YOU GO FROM HERE?

You will be scheduled for a short examination at your earliest convenience. The format is

multiple-choice. For each question, you will be provided with four possible choices from which

to select the correct answer. This test is an open-book one, but don’t make the mistake of not

preparing for it. The idea is not just to pass a test; rather, it is to be certain you are familiar with

the information a new Auxiliarist needs to know.

The passing score on this examination is 80%. In other words, you will need to correctly answer

24 or more of the 30 questions. For an open-book exam, that’s a reasonable goal. If you are

comfortable with the material in your study questions, you should have no problem with the actual

examination.

Your completed examination and application will be sent to the Director of Auxiliary, and you

should receive your membership card in a short time. In the meantime, plan to attend the

activities your flotilla has scheduled. You will be introduced to the various elected and appointed

officers who will help you become actively involved.

You are about to enter upon an exciting and rewarding experience. You have an opportunity to

serve others in a variety of ways while adding to your own skills. Equally important, however,

you are also going to be able to meet a lot of new friends who share your values and interests.

It’s a lot of fun!
