Often the public does not differentiate between Coast Guard active duty and the Auxiliary, especially when the uniform is worn. Since its creation in 1939, the Auxiliary has been granted a unique privilege: the Auxiliary is allowed to wear the same uniforms as the Coast Guard active duty and reserve personnel. But (as John F. Kennedy once said) “to those whom much is given, much is expected”.
Auxiliarists who wear the Auxiliary uniform will be held to higher grooming and appearance standards.
Auxiliarists are authorized to wear Coast Guard uniforms with the appropriate Auxiliary insignia.
Uniforms shall be worn as prescribed in the actual Coast Guard Uniform Regulations, COMDTINST M1020.6 (series), except as noted in Chapter 10 of the Auxiliary Manual (COMDTINST M16790.1 (series)).
