The U.S. Coast Guard is pleased to present the Auxiliary Manual to the 37,000 plus member volunteer force and to the Coast Guard community as a whole. Many thanks to the
extraordinary Auxiliarists and active duty members of the Coast Guard, who assisted in
developing this manual. The U.S. Coast Guard recognizes and highly respects all Auxiliarists, who so generously donate their skills, their time, and their resources to support the full spectrum of Coast Guard operational and administrative missions.
