The Importance and Benefit of the USCG/Auxiliary AUXLAMS Intensive Course
In Auxiliary Leadership and Management

By Roger Bazeley

AUXLAMS is the Auxiliary version of the Coast Guard Leadership and Management course. It is taught
by the same instructors who teach the active duty course. This is a facilitated and interactive course
dealing with Self Awareness, Motivation, Strategic Leadership, Team Building, Ethics, Conflict
Management and Performance Problem Solving. AUXLAMS is the foundation course of the Auxiliary
Leadership Continuum.

Graduating 2015
AUXLAMS CLASS, USCG
Base Alameda

I had the privilege and experience of taking and participating with over 18 diverse members of the
USCG-Auxiliary, the intensive 6 day AUXLAMS course, developed by: U.S. Coast Guard Leadership
Development Center, Leadership & Organizational Performance Branch, which is given in two Parts over
two weekends at USCG Base Alameda. The group of participants gained a wide variety of new auxiliary
management and leadership skills to improve flotilla activities management and participation experience,
as well as strengthen recruitment and retention of our valuable members.
