Welcome to the Operations     

                  Directorate Website

The Operations Directorate is the Auxiliary home of the Operations (Response) and Marine Safety (Prevention) Departments.  Each Department is comprised of several Divisions: 

Operations (Response)                                                    Marine Safety (Prevention)

Projects and Educational Outreach                                    Port and Facilities Activities
Surface                                                                                  Vessel Activities
Telecommunications                                                            Communications and Education
Incident Management                                                           Prevention Outreach
Aviation                                                                                  Navigation Systems

As you can see, the Operations Directorate oversees many of the Coast Guard Auxiliary's more complex missions and member skill sets.  Auxiliarists who are active in Operations or Marine Safety programs are often closely integrated with the Active Duty Coast Guard. 

This website serves as a portal to the Operations and Marine Safety websites, and also includes an "Index to Everything" to help you find the materials you may need for the programs in either Department.  Our goal is to provide you, the member, with the tools to make your participation in our important missions as straightforward and satisfying as possible. 

Sincerely,

COMO Mark Simoni, NADCO-O
National Directorate Commodore, Operations
