Monterey Flotilla Operations
SURFACE OPERATIONS -- Auxiliarists are uniformed volunteers. Flotilla 6-4 Members perform safety and aids-to-navigation patrols in the Monterey Bay area, and in other areas as needed. Auxiliary vessels and their crews work under the control of the Coast Guard, and aid in search and rescue (SAR), marine safety, and other missions.
Auxiliary crew members and Coxswains qualify using the same boat crew training manual as used by Coast Guard Regular and Reserve Members, and must satisfy annual currency maintenance requirements. On most Saturdays, 6-4 boat crews conduct on-the-water patrols and train with Active Duty personnel of USCG Station Monterey.

As with boat crew,Auxiliary Watchstanders qualify using the same training manual as Coast Guard Active Duty and Reserve personnel, and must satisfy Watchstander requirements in the same manner as regular USCG personnel. Flotilla Monterey members also participate in District 11NR’s aviation program as air observers/aircrew.

While it is fun and whales can be seen during a patrol, we all have a job to get done
