Area and district commanders, commanders of maintenance and logistics commands, commanding officers of headquarters units, assistant commandants for directorates, Judge Advocate General, and special staff offices at Headquarters shall ensure all Auxiliarists, all Directors of Auxiliary, and any military or civilian Coast Guard members who are involved with Auxiliary operations become thoroughly familiar with this Manual. Internet release authorized. 3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. The previous edition of the Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual, COMDTINST M16798.3D, is hereby canceled and should be recycled. 4. DISCUSSION. This Manual outlines policies and procedures necessary for effective operation of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Coast Guard Auxiliary has been a critical part of the Coast Guard's historic transition to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Auxiliary now assumes the role and responsibility as the Department's lead organization of dedicated volunteers. This Manual further helps set the course for the ready, reliable, and relevant Auxiliary operational support to the full spectrum of Coast Guard missions, both traditional and new, and in a different and far more complex maritime security environment. This new Auxiliary Operations Policy Manual should be reviewed in its entirety.
