the aux doesn't have authority to board a vessel. even the CG can't
board a vessel unless there is a 'boarding officer'...someone trained
in the use of force...aboard the CG vessel. of course, since the CG is
also military, it CAN board a vessel under 'rules of engagement', but
that's a military issue, not a law enforcement one.

The CG is a uniformed service, they do not serve subject to the UCMJ.

they sure do. even in peacetime, the USCG, a branch of the military, is
subject to the UCMJ.


if they board your vessel under the rules of engagement you better do
pretty much what they say.

The CG is a law enforcement agency.

and a branch of the military.
