The mission of the USCG cutters in  Eighth Eastern Region's AOR is to place, position, and maintain hundreds of navigational aids; day marks, buoys, and lights on several major inland waterways. The Auxiliary's mission is to aid the Coast Guard in the performance of these missions. To this end, Auxiliarists are tasked with checking AtoNs to insure that they are "on station" and "watching properly."  Reports of verification or discrepancy must be reported in a timely manner as per district policy.  ALL discrepancies must be reported by radio or land line to SECTOR OHIO VALLEY.
  ALL DISPREPANCIES MUST BE REPORTED CALL SECTOR OHIO VALLEY 1-800-253-7465

( 1-800-253-7465) 24/7
Coast Guard policy states that it is the responsibility of all coxswains to report discrepant AtoNs. In the Auxiliary ANY Auxiliarist can report ANY DISCREPANCY; whether under orders, just boating recreationally, driving to work, or looking out the window. The overarching  responsibility for Auxiliarists is to check AtoNs wherever and whenever they are encountered

The job is not complete until you report the AToNs , PAToNs, and Bridge Lights on form ANSC-7030.

Have a safe day.                              Hit Counter
