District Staff Officer Operations (DSO-OP)

Welcome to the District Seven Auxiliary Surface Page. District Seven is the largest and busiest District in the U.S. Coast Guard and the Auxiliary Surface Division oversees all the Auxiliary surface assets in our District. Our primary function is to augment the U.S. Coast Guard Active Duty as a force multiplier so they can achieve the highest level of mission readiness and efficiency. In doing so, we must ensure that we are ready, relevant, and responsive.

READY, RELEVANT, AND RESPONSIVE

District Seven Auxiliary Surface Goals:

  • To attain ongoing Auxiliary surface integration with every USCG Unit in D7
  • To further the Auxiliary’s main mission of recreational boating safety
  • To enable our Auxiliary surface community to thrive in quality, quantity, and member satisfaction
  • To proactively prepare for potential future missions
