The Department of Response consists of
four Flotilla Staff Positions.
Aviation: FSO-AV, Operations: FSO-OP, Communications:
FSO-CM, Aids to Navigations: FSO-AN.
As the name of our Department shows, we
respond by providing assistance to the Coast Guard. It
may be Search and Rescue, overdue vessel, weather
related emergencies such as Hurricane, or Tornado, Coast
Guard or public event, or simply provide Auxiliary
Facilities on a stand-by status. We will do much, but we
will never be involved in direct law enforcement.
The Aids to Navigation is an ongoing
program dedicated to keeping watchful eye on all aids,
in all areas in order to keep boaters save.
The Flotilla Staff Officers are
dedicated professionals in their respective fields, and
I invite all of you to check their websites frequently.
