US Coast Guard Auxiliary

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is a volunteer organization that supports the Coast Guard in safety, security, and educational efforts along U.S. waters. Composed of civilians, its members assist with boating safety inspections, search and rescue operations, environmental protection, and public education. They are trained to promote safe boating practices and enhance maritime safety, working alongside active-duty Coast Guard personnel. The Auxiliary plays a vital role in extending the Coast Guard’s reach and ensuring public safety on the water, all through voluntary service.
