AUXCYBER Augmentation Program

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is actively working with key USCG partner organizations to formalize the establishment of an Auxiliary Cybersecurity Augmentation program (AUXCYBER). The program is being established to allow qualified Auxiliarists with a broad range of expertise in cybersecurity and cyberspace operations to augment the Coast Guard cyberspace workforce.

As the missions and responsibilities of the Coast Guard have expanded, so has the need for cybersecurity personnel to perform missions in support of different Coast Guard commands. Auxiliarists in the AUXCYBER program may support Coast Guard Cyber Command (CGCYBER), its units, and Coast Guard commands at the Area, District, and Sector level in cybersecurity activities including the following.

• Cybersecurity Outreach, Awareness, Education, and Training
• Facilities/Vessel Inspections (Cyber)
• Review of Cybersecurity Amendments of Facility Security Plans and Facility Security Assessments
• Cyber Exercise Support
• CGCYBER Cyber Protection Team (CPT) Augmentation
• CGCYBER Maritime Cyber Readiness Branch (MCRB) Augmentation
• Cybersecurity for Recreational Boating Safety Missions

For Current Auxiliarists:
Current Auxiliarists are invited to express interest by completing the ANSC 7071 AUXCYBER Application Form. This initiates the current process. You will be contacted and provided an Application Form to submit along with an optional resume. 

For Nonmembers or Former Auxiliarists:
This volunteer program is only available to current Coast Guard Auxiliarists. If you are interested in joining the Auxiliary to assist in the cybersecurity mission, please check out this opportunity for specific recruitment to support the Auxiliary and Coast Guard.
