The US Coast Guard Auxiliary Marine Safety and
Environmental Protection Department Mission Statement 2001 emphasized that “Our
program objective is to supply need-based support to marine safety and
environmental protection activities of the Coast Guard, based on local
experiences, needs and member capabilities. We accomplish our principal mission
and objective by providing training, expert resources and field technical
support to Auxiliary members and to local Coast Guard and Auxiliary Units. To
achieve this objective we chose the three C’s: “Communications – Coordination
– Customer Service”. To meet the challenges and opportunities of 2003 and
2004, we feel that to continue with this process, will enhance the
competency of Auxiliary members and in consequence improve the
reliability of Auxiliary support to our customers.
