The Auxiliary FORCECOM Performance Measurement Department will evaluate the contributions of the Coast Guard Auxiliary to our principal “customers or stakeholders” – the recreational boating public and the U.S. Coast Guard - identifying outcomes and results, not just member activity.

The Auxiliary FORCECOM Performance Measurement Department is responsible for measuring and evaluating Coast Guard Auxiliary performance in each of its mission areas, as well as its overall effectiveness and contribution. In the recreational boating safety mission areas, evaluating the Auxiliary’s impact in protecting boaters from boating casualties. In the Coast Guard Support mission areas, evaluating our readiness and ability to augment Coast Guard resources.

Identify the key sources of data and other information required to measure performance; evaluate the integrity of the data; participate in the improvement of data collection systems and the development of new systems; and create new information collection systems, such as surveys and other qualitative measurement tools.

Identify measures of effectiveness in recreational boating safety nationwide, and by geographic region, collaborate with Coast Guard districts and Auxiliary districts and regions to correlate Auxiliary activities with recreational boating safety outcomes.

Coordinate our efforts with those of the performance measurement resources within Active Duty FORCECOM to integrate Auxiliary efforts and assist in advancing Active Duty FORCECOM doctrine and readiness programs.

Collaborate with each Department and Auxiliary National Leadership to develop outcome-related measurements of the effectiveness of each of our programs, as well as the impact of those programs on our impact as an organization.

Develop and maintain specific measurements of Auxiliary training, standardization, interoperability and readiness to support and augment Coast Guard mission areas and advance operational doctrine.

Support Area/District/Sector efforts to evaluate the contribution of the Auxiliary in qualitative and financial terms.

Develop Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) as well as practical tools to enable unit leadership (Flotilla, Division, District and National elected and appointed officers) to evaluate readiness and performance in each mission area. These tools should be easier to access than the current AUXDATA/AUXINFO resources, and should provide for appropriate drill-down and communication with staff officers. Some sort of ?dashboard? may be developed to assist elected leaders with these tasks
