This is what we do:
SURFACE
OPERATIONS - Flotilla Members on a safety patrol
near Spectacle Island, MA, and on an aids to navigation patrol in Boston Harbor
and on the Charles River. Auxiliary vessels and their crews work under
the control of a Coast Guard station, and aid in search and rescue (SAR), marine
safety, and other missions. Auxiliary crew members and Coxswains qualify
using the same boat crew training manual as used by Coast Guard Regulars and
Reservists, and must satisfy annual currency maintenance.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION - Auxiliarists from 05-03 and other flotillas join Coast Guard active
duty and reservists to train in whale recognition. Auxiliarists provide
observers to aid NOAA and NMFS in managing the Stellwagen Bank National Marine
Sanctuary. Auxiliarists are deployed on Coast Guard, Auxiliary surface
and air, and commercial whale watch platforms.
COAST
GUARD MISSION SUPPORT - Auxiliarists also volunteer to serve alongside regular
and reserve members of the Coast Guard in operational and administrative programs.
Flotilla members have served as radio watchstanders, and have served onboard
a Boston based US Coast Guard Cutter.
