Groups of districts headed by district commodores are referred to as what?

• A. Regions of Aux
• B. Divisions of Aux
• C. Patrols
• D. National Officers

Answer: (A)

Regions are the larger units that group several districts in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. When multiple districts are combined under a regional command, they’re referred to as regions, with district commodores overseeing the districts within that region. This arrangement helps standardize policies, coordinate training and missions, and ensure consistent leadership across a broader geographic area. The other options don’t fit because divisions would imply a smaller subdivision, patrols are operational units in the field, and national officers are individuals at the top of the organization rather than a grouped geographic unit.
