The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
Who We Are...
The
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian component of Team
Coast Guard. It was founded in 1939 by an Act of Congress as the US
Coast Guard Reserves and re-designated the Auxiliary in 1941. The 25,000
volunteer members (men and women) donate thousands of hours in support
of Coast Guard missions.
The
Coast Guard does more than just Search and Rescue, and with the
exception of direct law enforcement and military action, the Auxiliary
is there, side by side, working with regular and reserve Coast Guard
units every step of the way. We're found in every part of the United
States, not just where Recreational Boating is found.
The
National Organization is broken down along the lines of the Coast Guard
Districts (some districts are further sub-divided for ease of
administration). Districts are then sub-divided into Divisions, with
these units further sub-divided into Flotillas. The Flotilla is the
mainstay of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
