The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, the civilian component of Team Coast Guard, was established by Congress in 1939 as the Coast Guard Reserve and redesignated the Auxiliary in 1941. The 31,000 volunteer members of the Auxiliary devote hundreds of thousands of hours each year in support of Coast Guard missions. The men and women of today's Auxiliary conduct boating classes for the public, perform vessel safety checks and visits to marine dealers, provide administrative and some inspection assistance to Coast Guard Marine Safety offices and other Coast Guard units, and perform safety patrols and search and rescue missions on the nation's coastal and inland waters and in the air. Membership in the Coast Guard Auxiliary is open to U.S. citizens age 17 or older.
