In 1941 Congress created a military reserve and renamed the original volunteer reserve established in 1939 as the "Coast Guard Auxiliary". The Purpose of the Auxiliary is outlined in Title 14 of the United States Code 822. The mission of the Auxiliary is to effect rescues on and over the high seas and on navigable waters; To promote efficiency in the operation of motorboats and yachts; To foster a wider knowledge of, and better compliance with, the laws, rules, and regulations governing the operation of motorboats and yachts. To facilitate other operations of the Coast Guard.
