The Auxiliary saves the Coast Guard many hours and dollars by verifying the location, condition, and operation of Aids to Navigation (ATONs) each year. Verifiers complete an eight hour District level course of instruction to learn what to observe and how to report their findings, and must verify a minimum number of ATONs each year to retain their qualification.
