FC Reading

I will from time-to-time identify “Recommended Reading” for flotilla members, so that we here at the deck plate level know what’s expected of us as Auxiliary Members, and what to expect in the way of plans, directions, and missions for the future. I’m asking that all flotilla members, especially our new members, read the important documents identified on this page.

RECOMMENDED READING:

• "Admiral Thad Allen discusses the need for, and objectives of, change and reorganization in the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary." click here for more information

• It seems like every year we receive questions, especially from new members, regarding one particular subject. It usually centers around, “How are the changes happening in the Coast Guard, especially regarding increased Homeland Security missions, affecting me in the Auxiliary?” I believe a good place to start answering this question is found in the 2007 NACO Vision Statement. In this statement, the National Commodore lays out his vision for the Auxiliary during the next two years.
