Welcome to the
Response Department

 

The Response Department is responsible for the administration of the Auxiliary's:

  • Air Operations,
  • Communications, and
  • Surface Operations programs.

 

The Operations Department was re-named the Response Department to better indicate the relationship of this department to its counterparts in the active duty Coast Guard.   In 2007 the former Aids to Navigation Division was transferred to the Department of Prevention and the Division of Incident Management was transferred into the Response Department.  In August of 2011 the Division of Incident Management was moved to the new Incident Management and Preparedness Department within the Response and Prevention Directorate.
