Stone's River Flotilla
WELCOME ABOARD!
As a proud member of TEAM COAST GUARD, we are U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 11-05.
Chartered on September 25, 1999 as the Stones River Flotilla, we have since been serving Nashville,
Tennessee on Percy Priest Lake. We patrol the navigable waters from Fate Sanders Marina to Four
Corners Marina. Percy Priest Lake is a man-made lake that was created by the construction of the
Percy Priest Dam at mile marker 6.8 on the Stones River. The lake comprises 14,200 acres of water
with a shoreline of 213 miles. Percy Priest Lake is located 10 miles east of downtown Nashville,
with major access roads being Highway 41/70S and Interstate 40.
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established on June 23, 1939 by an act of Congress
as the United States Coast Guard Reserve and was re-designated as the Auxiliary on February 19,1941.
We are a volunteer uniformed component of the United States Coast Guard and assist the Coast Guard
in non-law enforcement programs such as public education, vessel safety checks, safety patrols,
search and rescue, and marine environmental protection. The Auxiliary boasts approximately 34,000
members, from all walks of life, who receive special training so that they may be a functional part
of TEAM COAST GUARD. Auxiliarists volunteer more than two million hours annually to benefit other
boaters and their families.
The overarching mission of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is to contribute to the safety and
security of our citizens, ports, waterways, and coastal regions. We will balance our missions of
Recreational Boating Safety and Coast Guard Support with Maritime Homeland Security and other
challenges that emerge because of our growing understanding of changes required in the post-9/11
era.
On September 13, 2006, Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant issued a new Auxiliary Policy Statement,
which states that "Fittingly, the core strategic purpose of the Auxiliary is to continuously
hone its expertise to perform three prioritized functions:
1. Promote and improve recreational boating safety
2. Support Coast Guard maritime homeland security efforts; and
3. Support the Coast Guard's operational, administrative, and logistical requirements."
