Missions and Unit Goals

The mission of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary is to assist the Philippine Coast Guard in promoting safety of life and property at sea, protection of the marine environment and such other humanitarian activities as may be directed by the commandant, PCG.

Member Services

One of the main concerns of the Auxiliary is to attract, recruit, develop, train, nurture and retain auxiliarists for the implementation of PCGA plans and programs. Auxiliarists are trained to accomplish specific missions assigned to the Auxiliary and to support collateral Coast Guard missions on a day-to-day and on an emergency basis. In addressing these concerns, auxiliarists provide for internal Auxiliary’s approved programs and activities.

Related to the recruitment of auxiliarist is the acquisition of offering for0use surface, air and radio facilities. These facilities are used by the Auxiliary/auxiliarist in accomplishing assigned Coast Guard missions. The Auxiliary is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Auxiliary organization to carry out its other missions.

Fellowship

Fellowship remains an essential ingredient in making any organization of volunteers successful. The Coast Guard recognizes the importance of this aspect of volunteer participation and encourages a close relationship between auxiliarists and other Coast Guard personnel. Fellowship makes the team work and binds the entire organization together.

Unit Goals

Accomplishment of any task, project or undertaking requires a statement of what is to be accomplished and a plan for doing it. Goals are a convenient way to express the desired outcome of activity. All auxiliary units are encouraged to establish goals and plans to achieve them through activities which the unit expects to engage. Informal systems for goal and plan development are acceptable. However, a more formal process may be better when a larger organization is involved.
