Our History
Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 24 is a part of the First Coast
Guard District - Southern Region which was established on
January 1, 1997. It realigned the Coast Guard Auxiliary
Flotillas into new Divisions which were affiliated with
specific Coast Guard units.
When established, Division 24 was comprised of seven Flotillas
which were associated with the operations of Coast Guard
Station New Haven in New Haven, CT.
These Flotillas consisted of:
Flotilla 24-1, Branford, CT (formerly Flotilla 17-1 )
Flotilla 24-2, Stratford, CT (formerly Flotilla 71)
Flotilla 24-3, Milford, CT (formerly Flotilla 73)
Flotilla 24-4, Guilford, CT (formerly Flotilla 17-3)
Flotilla 24-8, Clinton, CT (formerly Flotilla 21-8)
Flotilla 24-11, West Haven, CT (formerly Flotilla 17-11), and
Flotilla 24-12, Oxford, CT (formerly Flotilla 17-12).
These seven Flotillas had a combined membership of 244
members, numerous operational vessel facilities, fixed land and
land mobile radio facilities which had previously supported
Coast Guard Station New Haven and Coast Guard Group /
Marine Safety Office Long Island Sound operations.
Today the Division has, in addition to increased facilities,
numerous qualified Instructors, Vessel Examiners, Boat Crew
Coxswains and Crew Members, Marine Dealer Visitors, and
members with additional qualifications.
