Flotilla

of at least 15 qualified members who carry out Auxiliary program activities.
Every Auxiliarist is a member of a local Flotilla. Each Flotilla is headed by a
Flotilla Commander (FC).

Team Coast Guard
The combined Active, Reserve, Auxiliary and Civilian components of the Coast
Guard. The Auxiliary has members in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, American Samoa, and Guam. Membership is open to men and women, 17 years
or older, U.S. citizens of all states and territories, civilians or active duty
or former members of any of the uniformed services and their Reserve components,
including the Coast Guard. Facility (radio station, boat or aircraft) ownership
is desirable but not mandatory. Auxiliarists are dedicated civilians who believe
strongly in the Coast Guard and its missions. A hearty thank you is the only pay
an Auxiliarist expects. Personally, we receive tremendous satisfaction for a job
well done. We have proven valiant throughout the years and take the oath of
membership seriously. We contribute
immeasurably
and proudly to:
