Who We Are - Flotilla 12- 3 Lake Murray, SC
The Coast Guard’s philosophy is to be SEMPER PARATUS (ALWAYS
READY) against all threats and all hazards. The Coast Guard
Auxiliary is an integral part of that philosophy and the
Coast Guard Forces. We conduct safety patrols on local
waterways, assist the Coast Guard with homeland security
duties, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel
safety checks for the public, as well as many other
activities. The Auxiliary has members in all 50 states,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam.
Our Vision
As a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
U.S. Coast Guard, and a servant of the public, the U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary, in its role as the designated
National Recreational Boating Safety Coordinator, is a
leader in improving the boating experience of the maritime
public. We are an organization noted for working in
partnership with all stakeholders within the waterways
activity spectrum and across all modes of transportation to
reach consensus solutions. We measure our success by our
customer satisfaction, and our customers' needs help define
our workload and priorities.
Our Mission
To minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property
damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of
recreational boats, through preventive means, in order to
