Auxiliary
Search Coordination & Execution (AUXSC&E) Course Replaces AUXSAR
The new AUXSC&E course is now
available at ANSC and is ready to be taught in the Districts. This
course replaces AUXSAR in the Auxiliary's suite of AUXOP courses.
AUXSC&E, which is the Auxiliary version of the Coast Guard's Search
Coordination & Execution course, is an AUXOP course, and as such, is not
required for qualification or currency maintenance for the Boat Crew
program. Additional information about the new course can be obtained at
www.auxtdept.org.
