    Today's Missions: 
      Today′s U.S. Coast Guard, with nearly 32,000 men and women, is a unique force that carries out an array of responsibilities touching almost every facet of the U.S. maritime environment.
        The primary mission of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is Recreational Boater Safety.  We also have the mission to contribute to the safety and security of our citizens, ports, waterways and coastal regions, as directed by the United States Coast Guard.
