The
Coast Guard
Office of Auxiliary (CG-3PCX) receives and
replies to many questions about Auxiliary policies every week. To inform
Auxiliarists of some of the most frequently asked questions, especially
those which are not necessarily or easily found in Auxiliary manuals or
Coast Guard instructions, the Office of Auxiliary has created the
Auxiliary Knowledge
Base. The purpose is to keep Auxiliarists as
well as all other interested parties abreast of current developments,
policies, manuals, etc. All information contained therein and linked is
official policy and information. back to TOP Coast Guard Mutual Assistance Campaign

Coast Guard Mutual Assistance Campaign theme. COMO Joe Lanz,

Guard Forces. Please take a moment and see how you can be a part of this
worthy program that supports Auxiliarists and all members of the Coast

Work began a couple of months ago to replace Advanced Coastal

has a greater focus on electronic navigation. We are now working to
create Student Study Guides, Instructor Guides, additional information
on “charting basics”, charting problems and on-line and paper-based test
question databanks. The new text and course should be available in the
late fall of 2007. back to TOP The
