The Auxiliary has a Culinary Assistance Program (AUXCA)

MISSION: The AUXCA Program serves to support the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary for all culinary needs. It is a very rewarding program for all participants regardless of expertise or abilities. There is a place in the AUXCA program for all members.

AUXCA PROGRAM: The two levels are AUXCA-1 Specialist and AUXCA-2 Specialist.

• An AUXCA-1 would train, perform duties and maintain currencies as specified in the AUXCA Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The AUXCA-1 duties are in direct support of the Coast Guard and may also assist the Auxiliary. 
• An AUXCA-2 would train and perform duties under less stringent guidelines as specified in the AUXCA SOP. The AUXCA-2 would support Coast Guard Auxiliary events only. An AUXCA-2 is not eligible to work in or for any Coast Guard unit, cutter or event. 
• The initial preparation and training are similar for both levels, but the training circumstances, currencies and mandatory participation hours are different.
