The US Coast Guard Auxiliary Interpreter Corps is a component of the USCG Auxiliary International Affairs Department. Interpreters are members of the USCG Auxiliary. They offer their linguistic skills to the US Coast Guard and other agencies of the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense.

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary Interpreter Corps has 2 Competency Levels:

• Level "A" Interpreter fluently reads, writes, speaks and understands a foreign language in addition to English.
• Level "B" Interpreter speaks and understands a foreign language in addition to English, but does not necessarily fluently read or write in any language.
  

NOTE: We will only accept Applications with Level "A" competency and additional Level "B" competencies as secondary language. We will not accept Applications with Level "B" unless there is a Level "A" as primary competency.

Members of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Interpreter Corps measure up to the highest quality standards and already have provided over 50,000 mission hours, mainly in Coast Guard Operational Support.
