Historical Background

The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established by Congress on June 23, 1939, as the Coast Guard Reserve (later reorganized as the Auxiliary in 1941). The flag, featuring the United States shield surrounded by a “U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary” inscription, placed in front of crossed anchors at the center of a diagonal white stripe on a medium blue field, represents the largest uniformed volunteer component of the Armed Forces. Auxiliarists support the Coast Guard in missions such as boating safety education, vessel examinations, and operational support, serving without pay to enhance maritime safety and security.
