The Response (R) Directorate manages the Aviation, Surface Operations, and Telecommunications programs.  It also has an Education & Training Division to support the other Divisions of the Directorate.

The Prevention (P) Directorate  oversees two major Auxiliary programs,  Navigation Systems and Marine Safety. Marine Safety includes Commercial Vessel Activities, Port and Facility Activities, Prevention Outreach and Communication and Outreach.  Navigation Systems includes the Aids to Navigation Verification and Chart Updating programs. 

The Emergency Management & Disaster Response (Q) Directorate enables Auxiliary support for the Coast Guard emergency management program and provides alignment with the active duty forces of the U.S. Coast Guard.

The International Affairs (I) Directorate  is composed of two distinct, but closely related, teams: the International Outreach and the Interpreter Corps teams.
