New ICS Requirements 

As of February 2006, the ALCOAST from G-RPP announcing the revised dates for
completion of Incident Command System (IS) coursework for CG Auxiliary
forces has not been issued. Since there are both Area and District
directives published, some members have expressed concerns about the
apparent conflict between the dates published and the dates proposed. In an
effort to resolve this conflict, CG Auxiliary members are directed to comply
with directives published by CG Area and District commands until CG
Headquarters guidance is available.

such hours to the local DIRAUX office. The revised RBS Qualifications
Guidelines are now available on the Boating Department website.
