Mission Statement
The overarching mission of the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary is to contribute to the safety and security of our
citizens, ports, waterways and coastal regions.
We will balance our missions of
Recreational Boating Safety and Coast Guard Support with Maritime
Homeland Security and other challenges that emerge as a result of
our growing understanding of changes required in the post-9/11 era.
