TRIDENT DEVICE
Visit the
Marine Safety webpage for more information on the Marine Safety
ribbon and Trident Device. The
Trident
program is a good model for the development of your skills and experience
in Marine Safety. We strongly recommend you pursue your Trident qualification.
But remember that the Trident program is only a guide; that your progress in
marine safety will depend on your commitment and dedication to the program.
Moreover, we do not want people to pursue Marine Safety qualifications unless
they intend to remain active in the field, both in support of the Coast Guard
and in training other Auxiliarists.
There are several prerequisites in the Trident program: Introduction to Marine
Safety and Environmental Protection, Initial Indoctrination to Marine Safety,
Incident Command System, and Good Mate. Completion of these courses will provide
you with an excellent foundation in the marine safety area.
There are currently 16 personal qualifications specifically available for Auxiliarists
which will qualify you for the Trident device, along with a number of related
qualifications throughout the marine safety mission area. Additionally, there
are a number of qualifications used by the active duty which are also available
to Auxiliarists. An overview of the principal areas of activity in our district,
along with the Assistant District Staff Officer assigned to assist in advising
and training in the area follows:
