The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is composed of uniformed, non-military volunteer's who assist the Coast Guard in all of its varied missions, except for military and direct law enforcement. These
men and women can be found on the nation's waterways,
in the air, in classrooms and on the dock, performing
Maritime Domain Awareness patrols, safety patrols,
vessel safety checks and public education.
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was founded in
1939 by an Act of Congress as the U.S. Coast Guard
Reserve and re-designated as the Auxiliary in 1941.
Its
30,000 members donate millions of hours annually in
support of Coast Guard missions.
