our charter as the auxiliary comes from congress. it would, literally,
take an act of congress to militarize the auxiliary.

You're right, Bob. The Aux, by congressional charter and subsequent
legislation, is specifically defined as "non-military". As such, we are
excluded from participation in any CG function that is purely military or
that involves direct law enforcement. These areas are particular provinces
of the active and reserve CG.
