Subj:		AUXILIARY POLICY CHANGES -019/12


1.  Since promulgation of the Auxiliary Manual (COMDTINST M16790.1G)
approximately one year ago, many aspects of the Auxiliary policies described
in it have been subject of review for purposes of revision and update.  The
PDF file (http://www.uscg.mil/auxiliary/AUXMAN-CH-1-SUMMARY-03AUG12.pdf)
contains chapter-by-chapter, section-by-section descriptions of changes to
the Auxiliary Manual that are effective immediately (its first three pages
provide a snapshot summary of the sections of the manual that have been
changed).  These changes center around updates to Auxiliary organizational
structure and administrative processes.  They will be incorporated into the
next promulgated change to the Auxiliary Manual anticipated in 2013.  

2.  To make the location and context of these changes easier, the Auxiliary
Manual posted on the Chief Director's (CG-BSX-1) web site
(http://www.uscg.mil/auxiliary/default.asp) is being annotated so that a
reader will be able to readily see if any given section has a corresponding
change, and if so then they will be able to quickly see that change.  That
effort will be completed and available for use no later than 10 August 2012.

3.  Many of these changes deal with the enrollment and processing of new
Auxiliarists (i.e., those in Approval Pending [AP] status, ref chapter 3).
The most significant change in this area is authorization to issue Auxiliary
ID cards to members in AP status.  Additionally, significant changes to the
Auxiliary Enrollment Form (ANSC-7001) are nearly complete, and its release
will soon be announced by ALAUX. 

4. The purpose of this list is to keep Auxiliarists as well as all other
interested parties abreast of current developments, policies, manuals, etc.
All information contained herein and linked is OFFICIAL policy and
information.

5. Internet Release and Distribution is Authorized.
