Division Eleven Wins International ISAR ... - USCGAUX District 7

Rear Commodore North
Ronald Goldenberg, Rear Commodore
“And, oh, yes, they
(Division 12) have
a group of Auxiliarists
that gets up
before 0500, runs
three miles or more,
does physical training
for an hour before
breakfast, then
marches to classes
with the guidon carrying
the Auxiliary
flag. They are cadets
at the Citadel,
the military college
of South Carolina.”
The North is proud to be a part of Team Coast Guard
and District 7 Auxiliary. A brief description of Areas of
Responsibility (AOR) will help the reader to understand
the diversity of the missions in which the North participates.
Divisions 4 and 14 work closely with Sector Jacksonville
and Division 14 is beginning to train to participate
in helicopter operations with Air Station Savannah.
Divisions 2, 10, and 12 work with Sector Charleston and
Air Station Savannah. Sector Charleston is responsible
for the ports of Savannah and Brunswick. Sector Jacksonville
is responsible for the fast growing port of Jacksonville,
Florida. Each division has a unique AOR and
mission.

Division 4 assists Stations Ponce and Canaveral in establishing safety zones for Shuttle
launches, the most recent being on 07 August. The division also provides Coast Guard
Auxiliary presence on the inland lakes of central Florida.
Division 2 recently worked with several law enforcement agencies in a security simulation
on one of the large inland lakes in north Georgia. Since there is no active duty Coast Guard
presence in their AOR, the division is responsible for all of the recreational boating safety
for inland Georgia and NW South Carolina.
Division 10 covers the coastline, Intracoastal waterway, and estuaries that stretch from
Brunswick, GA to just south of Charleston, SC. The division had an entry in the ISAR competition
this year and, despite having never participated in the competition before, made a
very good showing.
Division 12 has, perhaps, one of the best records of accomplishment among the 16 divisions
in District 7. They have grown by nearly 40 members this year. Recognizing the
need for a Coast Guard presence on a major inland lake in South Carolina, the Division just
recently established a detachment of Auxiliarists on Lake Marion with its 325 miles of shoreline.
Division 12 is currently planning for the establishment of a detachment in the fast
growing Myrtle Beach, SC, area. And, this is unique: they have a group of Auxiliarists that
gets up before 0500, runs three miles or more, does physical training for an hour before
breakfast, then marches to classes with the guidon carrying the Auxiliary flag. They’re cadets
at the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina.
Division 14 based in the greater Jacksonville area works closely with Sector Jacksonville
and has been actively involved with the area’s Heavy Weather Plan Development. Ω
