Why doesn't the US Army have an auxiliary similar to that of the US Air Force Auxiliary/Civil Air Patrol and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. The purpose of this group is to advocate for the establishment of a US Army Auxiliary organization, similar in scope and mission to the other service auxiliaries.

 

We are a community-driven initiative advocating for the creation of a United States Army Auxiliary—a volunteer force modeled after the US Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. Our mission is to support national defense, enhance community resilience, and empower citizens to serve with pride and purpose.



 

Why We Need the US Army Auxiliary

Addressing Modern Challenges

From natural disasters to emerging threats, the modern battlefield extends beyond combat zones. An Army Auxiliary would provide trained civilian volunteers ready to assist wherever and whenever needed.
 

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Readiness:
  Volunteer support enables the Army to respond to multiple crises without exhausting active-duty resources.

• Cost-Effective Manpower:
  Utilizing part-time, trained civilians minimizes strain on the defense budget while increasing operational capacity.

• Civic Engagement:
  Encouraging citizens to serve fosters a stronger connection between the Army and the communities it protects.

Our Vision

The US Army Auxiliary will be a diverse, volunteer-driven force composed of veterans, retirees, and civic-minded civilians. Wearing uniforms marked with unique insignia, members will operate under clear guidelines in partnership with the US Army and its Reserve Components. Our goal: To be the world’s best-trained volunteer military auxiliary.
​

Our Missions
As the program evolves, specific mission sets can be identified and integrated. Here are a few fundamental missions that the US Army Auxiliary would be equipped to undertake:

Military Support

• Logistical Operations: Assisting in the transportation and distribution of supplies.

• Training Exercises: Providing support during drills and simulations.

• Security Details: Augmenting security teams during special events.
   

Community Service

• Disaster Response and Recovery: Assisting with emergency medical care, search and rescue, and rebuilding efforts.

US Army Auxiliary Cadet Program: Objectives and Benefits

Using the curriculum of the US Army JROTC and Civil Air Patrol Cadet Programs, The US Army Auxiliary Cadet Program will be designed to develop well-rounded young Americans through a variety of essential experiences and training:
 

• Leadership Training
  Cadets are taught to lead, manage projects, and think independently. They also have opportunities to mentor younger cadets, fostering leadership skills from an early age.

• Emergency Preparedness and Response 
  Cadets gain knowledge in Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Management, and Emergency Response principles, understanding their societal impact.

• Character Development 
  The program emphasizes the development of a strong ethical foundation and adherence to core values, helping cadets grow into responsible individuals.

• Physical Fitness 
  Cadets are encouraged to be physically fit and develop a habit of regular exercise, promoting a healthy lifestyle.

• Teamwork 
  Through various activities, cadets learn to work collaboratively and improve their communication skills, essential for team success.

• Community Service 
  Cadets engage in public service at national, regional, state, and local levels, including career exploration experiences, fostering a spirit of community involvement.

• Hands-On Learning
  The program offers a range of practical activities such as land navigation, First Aid/CPR, drill and ceremonies, color guards, drill teams, hiking, camping, obstacle courses, and more, ensuring cadets acquire valuable skills through experiential learning. This comprehensive approach ensures that cadets are well-prepared to face various challenges and contribute positively to their communities.
