National Staff Mission Statement

Partnering with the National Board, the National Staff will manage, maintain the standards-qualifications, create the tools necessary, and communicate them to the members, in a timely manner, consistent with best practices established by the National Commodore for continuing Auxiliary support to the Coast Guard, the boating public and the members.

What is the National Staff?

Auxiliary National Staff Badge

While serving on National Staff, Auxiliarists may wear the Auxiliary National Staff identification badge. Upon notification of appointment by the Department Chief, new staff members may purchase their National Staff badge to wear during their term of active service. Upon retiring as a National Staff member, the badge is no longer worn.

The badge is worn on Dress uniforms, and is not worn on Undress or Working uniforms. Female staff members may wear the staff badge above the name tag and in the same relative position on the Dinner Dress jacket. When worn above the name tag, the AUXOP device is worn below the nametag on the pocket flap. Male staff members wear the badge centered on the right breast pocket. On the Dinner Dress Blue jacket, men wear it centered on the right side between the top two buttons and women wear it centered on the right side above the top button. On the Dinner Dress White jacket, both men and women wear it on the right side centered above the top button. Further guidance can be found in the Auxiliary Manual, section F.9.b.3. Wear it proudly!
