2024 Current Flotilla 10-05 projects

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is evolving, embracing new projects and responsibilities based upon the needs of The Active-Duty Coast Guard. We have been asked to assist in new and different areas that will enhance The Active Duty’s operational capabilities.

Here is a closer look at Flotilla 10-05’s initiatives and the expertise required to support these endeavors:

• Managing Oak Island Station’s Procurement Program

Flotilla 10-05 has been asked to pilot a program in the US aimed at delegating station procurement responsibilities to Auxiliarists.

The role demands a deep understanding of supply chain management, familiarity with creating and managing purchase orders, and the ability to consult effectively with vendors. Experience in logistics or a related field would be beneficial, as would strong organizational skills.

• Utilizing Microsoft Power Apps to streamline everyday Coast Guard

Flotilla 10-05 members have been asked to work with Station Oak Island personnel to assist with the adoption & training of Microsoft Power Apps capabilities.

With technology playing a pivotal role in streamlining processes, training personnel to use Microsoft Power App is crucial. The ideal candidate for this task would have a solid background in IT, experience with Microsoft Power Apps, and the ability to teach complex concepts in an accessible manner.

• Flotilla 10-05 assisting active duty with Microsoft Office Training

Offering training to the “gold side” necessitates expertise in these applications and the ability to convey information effectively to a diverse audience

Future Assistance areas for Flotilla 10-05

- **Investment Advice**: Providing financial guidance requires not only a solid foundation in finance and investment strategies but also an understanding of the unique needs of military personnel.

- **Drone Operation**: As a trained drone operator, one must possess technical proficiency, a keen eye for detail, and knowledge of the regulations governing drone flights.

- **Sector NC Comm Center Duties**: Working at the communications center requires strong communication skills, the ability to handle high-stress situations, and familiarity with Coast Guard communication protocols.

These projects and roles represent a significant shift towards a more integrated and technologically adept Coast Guard Station. The expertise required spans various disciplines, highlighting the importance of a multifaceted skill set in modern military operations.

Individuals with the right experience will find ample opportunity to contribute to the success of Station Oak Island's mission.
