Trident Program

The Trident Education Program was announced at N-TRAIN and Safety Lines Vol.2 No. 2 (March 2001) as a baseline training program for Auxiliary members involved in the Marine Safety and Environmental Protection programs. This program includes existing materials from the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Institute, the Center for Marine Conservation (CMC) and excerpts from the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Manual Volume I. Elements include “Incident Command System Orientation,” “Initial Indoctrination -- Marine Inspector” Course, “Initial Indoctrination -- Port Operations” Course, and the “Good Mate Manual” from CMC. Enrollment in USCG Institute courses is through your local CG Education Officer. See your USCG Auxiliary Member Training (MT) officer for assistance.

Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety

In support of Coast Guard efforts to improve commercial fishing vessel (CFV) safety, the Auxiliary is training and assigning dockside examiners. These members conduct CFV exams dockside and inspect both the boat and the safety equipment carried on board. Just like the Auxiliary’s CME program for recreational boats, participation is voluntary and there is no penalty if a boat fails the exam.
