As members of the Auxiliary, we have the privilege of wearing USCG uniforms with distinctive Auxiliary insignia. When we are in public, those we help do not distinguish between active duty, reserve or volunteers. It is our responsibility to understand all the components of the USCG Auxiliary. Click on the Uniform Guide link for the latest update on what uniforms we wear, and how to wear them properly.
