TITLE 14--COAST GUARD
PART II--COAST GUARD RESERVE AND AUXILIARY
CHAPTER 23--COAST GUARD AUXILIARY
Sec. 831. Assignment and performance of duties
No member of the Auxiliary, solely by reason of such membership,
shall be vested with, or exercise, any right, privilege, power, or duty
vested in or imposed upon the personnel of the Coast Guard or the
Reserve, except that any such member may, under applicable regulations,
be assigned duties, which, after appropriate training and examination,
he has been found competent to perform, to effectuate the purposes of
the Auxiliary. No member of the Auxiliary shall be placed in charge of a
motorboat, yacht, aircraft, or radio station assigned to Coast Guard
duty unless he has been specifically designated by authority of the
Commandant to perform such duty. Members of the Auxiliary, when assigned
to duties as herein authorized shall, unless otherwise limited by the
Commandant, be vested with the same power and authority, in the
execution of such duties, as members of the regular Coast Guard assigned
to similar duty. When any member of the Auxiliary is assigned to such
duty he may, pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary, be paid
actual necessary traveling expenses, including a per diem allowance in
conformity with standardized Government travel regulations in lieu of
subsistence, while traveling and while on duty away from his home. No
per diem shall be paid for any period during which quarters and
subsistence in kind are furnished by the Government, and no per diem
shall be paid for any period while such member is performing duty on a
vessel.
