Updated Aux Temporary Duty & Deployment Guide Released
Mon, 14 Jul 25
The Coast Guard has released the new Aux Temporary Duty and Deployment Guide. This Guide replaces the Auxiliary Deployment Guide (30 October 2019).
The guide is designed to assist Auxiliarists to prepare for temporary duty (TDY) assignments and deployments. For Auxiliarists, TDY is assignment to duty at one or more locations away from their Permanent Duty Station Common examples of Auxiliary TDY pursuant to Coast Guard orders are attendance at an Auxiliary National Training Summit (NTS), District Training event (DTRAIN), or C-school. A deployment is a form of TDY of a relatively lengthy duration (e.g., 10-14 days or more away from a PDS) and/or normally for a contingency operation that may or may not be located outside the United States. Past examples of Auxiliary deployment pursuant to Coast Guard orders are support of Southwest Border and hurricane relief operations. This guide is also intended to be particularly relevant for those who have Incident Command System (ICS) training and other professional qualifications that are often sought for specific TDY assignments and deployments. It does not presume that an Auxiliarist has ever been TDY or deployed before and focuses on individual preparation.
Auxiliarists should consult their Auxiliary Chain of Leadership and Management (COLM) about opportunities and procedures to follow if they wish to augment Coast Guard units in their local district.
