ICS Coursework
Auxiliary
Members,
1. USCG Auxiliary members have shown exceptional adaptability and
"can do" spirit in complying with the USCG/NIMS requirements for
completion of ICS coursework. The purpose of this ALAUX is to
provide further clarification on the ICS requirements for
auxiliary forces.
2. Members who provide operational support to the Coast Guard
(participants in the surface operations, air operations,
operations planning, CMDCEN/OPCEN/ Comms watchstanding,
fixed/mobile radio facility operators and port security or marine
safety programs) and Auxiliary leaders (unit leaders and staff
officers in operations, telecommunications, aviation or marine
safety) should have completed the IS 100 and IS 700 courses by 30
JUN 06.
3. Members in higher leadership positions (Division Captain, Vice
Captain and Division Staff Officers as outlined above) or single
resource leaders (Auxiliary coxswains, pilots, any member
qualifying in the trident program or any other team/task force
leader) should have completed IS 200 and 800 by 30 SEP 06.
4. Other members identified by a CG unit commander as a critical
resource in incident response should complete coursework as their
situation dictates.
5. If the member has not completed the required coursework, they
should not participate in any Coast Guard exercise, drill or
response event. Members seeking to qualify in an operational
program must complete courses appropriate to the position prior
to certification by DIRAUX.
6. Members must be fully compliant with the requirements listed
above by 31 DEC 07. Failure to complete the requisite coursework
by this date will preclude their participation in the program for
which the coursework was required. Operational members who are
not compliant with coursework requirements will be placed in
"REYR" and will not be issued patrol orders. Eligibility for
elected or staff officer positions will require completion of ICS
coursework as described above.
7. ICS-210, Initial Incident Commander, is a classroom course
designed for single resource leaders and type 5/type 4 incident
commanders. This 4 hour classroom course will be required for
Auxiliary coxswains, pilots, any member qualifying in the trident
program or any other team/task force leader. Given the limited
access to this course, no date for completion has been
determined. Single resource leaders are highly encouraged to take
ICS
210 if the opportunity is available.
8. USCG Auxiliary members are valued members of response
operations. The Auxiliary operational support and leadership
components must be ready to respond as needed to an incident and
this training is vital to achieving operational readiness.
