The USCG Auxiliary is one of the best trained volunteer organization in the world.  This section provides the roles that are available and the training that is required to fulfill these roles and achieve the rewards associated with these roles. 

In the first few months of membership, your primary responsibility and goal is to complete the required training that was discussed during your enrollment process. As stated on the Human Resources page, we encourage you to get this training completed within the first 90 days. Doing so will allow you to proceed with training in programs that most attracted you to the organization. You cannot move out of “AP” Status until you have completed the training outlined below. 

  • Mandatory Training – Interpersonal behavior, conduct, security protocols and privacy concerns.
  • ·Introduction to Risk Management – Fundamentals to identify, assess and manage risk.
  • ·Basic Qualification Course II - Missions and Programs, the organizational structure, the policies and regulations that guide the Auxiliary.
