Tens-of-thousands of men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (the Auxiliary) have spent millions of volunteer hours helping the U.S. Coast Guard (the Coast Guard) carry out its mission. They have saved countless lives through their work and are probably best known for their boating safety classes and Vessel Safety Checks.

Here we present a broad knowledge of the Auxiliary, as we become an increasingly important member of "Team Coast Guard" - the combined Active, Reserve, Auxiliary and Civilian components of the Coast Guard.
