Auxiliary Platform Considerations
A.9. Auxiliary
Facilities Used to
Support Coast
Guard Law
Enforcement
Coast Guard Auxiliary facilities may be used to support Coast Guard law
enforcement missions and activities in certain limited circumstances. As
a general rule, Auxiliary facilities may be used in such roles when there
is a low chance of detecting criminal activities. Specific guidance is
contained in Reference (c) and (d)
Personnel Considerations
Operational Commanders are required to establish facility operating
limitation standards as necessary in coordination with the Director of the
Auxiliary. Auxiliary facilities are prohibited from operating in surf.
A.10. Alcohol
Consumption
The boat crew, duty section, and any other persons who might reasonably
be expected to be recalled to support unit operations are restricted from
underway operations for 12 hours after last alcohol use and must have no
residual effects. This includes the use of “low” and “no” alcohol
beverages. Residual effects include light-headedness, headache,
sleepiness, fatigue, nausea, and lack of alertness.
