OPERATIONAL AUXILIARIST PROGRAM (AUXOP)


ABOUT THE AUXOP PROGRAM

The AUXOP, or "Operational Auxiliarist" Program is an advanced training program
available to members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary who wish to increase their
practical relevance to Coast Guard missions, and better assist the Coast Guard
to fulfill needed skill sets. Members who successfully complete their training
are authorized to wear the prestigious AUXOP Device, shown here, and their
membership level advances from Basic Qualified (BQ) to Operational Auxiliarist
(AX).

The program no simple feat, and members who attain AUXOP status should be justly
proud of their accomplishment, increased utility to the Auxiliary and to the
Coast Guard, and in their ability to serve as role models for their shipmates.


QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

In order to qualify as an Operational Auxiliarist, the member must successfully
obtain a minimum of seven (7) credits from three categories of courses.

Each of the courses requires a proctored, closed-book final examination with a
minimum passing grade of 75%.*  The program was dramatically revised effective
January 1, 2011 from six (6) specific specialty courses to a much broader
selection, as outlined below, that allow the Auxiliarist a much wider
flexibility in pursuing knowledge and skills in his or her areas of interest.

* The requirement for closed-book, proctored examination has been temporarily
suspended due to COVID-19 issues. The minimum passing score for open-book
examinations is 90%.

Course categories and requirements are as follows:

 * Required core courses, worth one credit each (3 available, all are required);
 * Leadership course, worth one credit (5 available; credit given only for one)
 * Elective courses, credits as shown (numerous available)


CORE COURSES

The required core courses are as follows.  Each is worth one (1) credit, and all
are required:

 * Auxiliary Weather Specialty Course (AUXWEA)
 * Auxiliary Seamanship Specialty Course (AUXSEA)
 * Auxiliary Communications Specialty Course (AUXCOM)


LEADERSHIP COURSES

Auxiliarists must successfully complete one of the following leadership courses,
each worth one credit (AUXOP credit is not applied for more than one course from
this category). These courses include:

 * Auxiliary Flotilla Leadership Course (AFLC) - online and classroom versions
   acceptable
 * Auxiliary Leadership and Management School (AUXLAMS) – note: both AUXLAMS-A
   and AUXLAMS-B of the exportable course version must be completed for the
   credit
 * Auxiliary Mid-Level Officer Course (AMLOC)-(DCDR/VCDR/DSO/FC with AUXLAMS)
 * Auxiliary Upper-Level Officer Course (AULOC)-(DCAPT/DIR)
 * Auxiliary Senior Officer Course (ASOC)-(DCOS/DIR)

Click on the title links above to navigate to each course page.


ELECTIVE COURSES

Auxiliarists will be required to complete their AUXOP credits by completing a
combination of the following elective courses, totaling three (3) or more
credits:

 * Auxiliary Search Coordination and Execution Specialty Course (AUXSC&E) - 2
   credits.
 * Introduction to Marine Safety - 2 credits.
 * Auxiliary Patrol Specialty Course (AUXPAT) - 1 credit.
 * Auxiliary Aids-to-Navigation (ATON) and Chart Updating C-school (AUX-06) - 1
   credit .
 * National Incident Management System (NIMS)-compliant Incident Command System
   (ICS) 300 & 400 (ICS 210 cannot be used as a substitution) - 1 credit.
 * Auxiliary Air Coordinator C-school (AUX-15) – 1 credit.
 * Specialty ICS Courses - 1 or 2 credits (see below)
 * Auxiliary Navigation Specialty Course (AUXACN) Part A & B - 2 credits (Must
   have both to obtain 2 credits.)

Certain NIMS-compliant ICS courses count as one credit for completion of the
in-class course and one credit for completion of the corresponding PQS, for a
possible total of two credits. NIMS compliancy is established by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). NIMS-compliant ICS courses may only be
taught by instructors, Coast Guard or other agency, that are certified to teach
them. If any of the following in-class courses is not available, then its
corresponding PQS may be successfully completed for one credit. Such PQS may
only be signed off by NIMS-compliant ICS verifying officers designated by a
Coast Guard command or other agency.

The specialty ICS Courses include:

 * ICS 346 (Situation Unit Leader)
 * ICS 347 (Demobilization Unit Leader)
 * ICS 348 (Resources Unit Leader)
 * ICS 351 (Finance Section Chief)
 * ICS 430 (Operations Section Chief)
 * ICS 440 (Planning Section Chief)

The formerly-offered Auxiliary Search-and-Rescue Specialty Course (AUXSAR) and
the Auxiliary Administration Course (AUXADM), if completed successfully, may be
substituted for any elective course above, on a one-for-one basis, at one (1)
credit each.

In addition certain NIMS-compliant ICS courses (i.e., ICS Type 3 courses) count
as two credits for successful completion of all required elements (e.g., the
in-class course, the corresponding PQS, and the associated oral board; all as
applicable). NIMS compliancy is established by FEMA. NIMS-compliant ICS courses
may only be taught by instructors, Coast Guard or other agency, that are
certified to teach them. Corresponding PQS may only be signed off by
NIMS-compliant ICS verifying officers designated by a Coast Guard command or
other agency. Associated oral boards, as required, must be administered by a
Coast Guard Sector or the agency that conducted the in-class course and/or
corresponding PQS. All required elements must be completed in order to get two
credits (partial credit may not be issued).

Acceptable NIM-compliant ICS courses subject to these criteria are:

 * ICT3 (Incident Commander).
 * LNO3 (Liaison Officer).
 * SOF3 (Safety Officer).
 * PIO3 (Public Information Officer).
 * OSC3 (Operations Section Chief).
 * AOBD (Air Operations Branch Director).
 * DIVS (Division / Group Supervisor).
 * OPBD (Operations Branch Director).
 * STAM (Staging Area Manager).
 * DMOB3 (Demobilization Unit Leader).
