Watercraft operators to the rescue!

Adding a unique level of versatility to the Auxiliary, Personal Watercraft Operators can operate in any depth of water to achieve their local mission. Many PWO’s donate their own vessel for Auxiliary use, doubling their contribution to the Auxiliary between their watercraft and their time.

This is how we own the sea. Coast Guard Cutter Active crew members offloaded bales of seized co***ne in San Diego, Dec. 15, 2025. The drugs, worth approx. $203.9 million, were seized in international waters of Eastern Pacific Ocean during counter-narcotic patrols off the coasts of Mexico, Central America, and South America. The successful interdictions demonstrate the Coast Guard’s ongoing commitment to distributing transnational criminal organizations and keeping dangerous drugs off our streets. #DHSGov #USCG #druginterdiction #OperationPacificViper #SemperParatus
