Update to Documentation Revision List for Training Courses

The National Training Department's Documentation Revision List has been
changed to incorporate updates in the documentation to support the New
Member Course material developed by the Personnel Department. Updates
include the Reference Guide, Student Guide and exams. This list has been
developed by the National Training Department to provide the current
revision of training material required for program qualification and AUXOP
courses. All items listed have been reviewed by responsible departments and
confirmed as the latest revision.

Auxiliary Search Coordination & Execution (AUXSC&E) Course Replaces AUXSAR

The new AUXSC&E course is now available at ANSC and is ready to be taught in
the Districts. This course replaces AUXSAR in the Auxiliary's suite of AUXOP
courses. AUXSC&E, which is the Auxiliary version of the Coast Guard's Search
Coordination & Execution course, is an AUXOP course, and as such, is not
required for qualification or currency maintenance for the Boat Crew
program. Additional information about the new course can be obtained at
<http://www.auxtdept.org/> www.auxtdept.org.
