AUXILIARY AUXILIARY RESPONSE TO NATIONAL EMERGENCIES For Coast Guard Auxiliary assistance to the Coast Guard and victims of any national disaster where Coast Guard assets are deployed such as the recent hurricanes, please adhere to the following guidelines: Do NOT self-activate. Assistance will be solicited as required via the Coast Guard and Auxiliary leadership. Auxiliary personnel and equipment are NOT authorized to respond to the areas affected. When the situation is stabilized and specific assistance is requested, Auxiliarists who are available to respond to the affected areas and wish to do so should act as instructed.

Shipmates, please take pride in the uniform you put on, it is both an honor and privilege. The NAVEX team wants to tell your story, but members must ensure that all uniforms in posted photos comply with uniform regulations. Have questions, see Chapter 10 of the AUXMAN or seek out your leadership for advice. NEW LOCATION FOR AUXILIARY RELATED MANUALS The USCG is migrating its public- facing documents to a new site. In the interim while this migration is ongoing, the H Directorate has created a repository for Auxiliary and often-used USCG manuals and instructions.
