ALAUX 037/26 Subj:  FY26 AUXDATA II PATROL ORDER CLOSEOUT UPDATE

1. The Coast Guard’s Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) will end at 2359 on 30 September 2026.

2. Funding for any Auxiliary patrol order conducted on or after 0000 on 01 October 2026 will fall under the FY27 budget.

3. Auxiliarists and/or Order Issuing Authorities (OIA) must “CANCEL” any patrol order in an “APPROVED” status if there are no associated “Activities” and the patrol was never conducted. This must be completed immediately, but no later than 13 September 2026, to avoid automatic cancellation. To view the list of patrol orders in AUXDATA II that need to be “CANCELLED”, please use the following link: FY26 Approved w/o Activities Current (crmforce.mil).

4. Auxiliarists who have patrol orders in an “APPROVED” status, except those meeting requirements of paragraph 3 above, must move patrol orders to “COMPLETED” status so OIA’s can review and submit them to the Financial Systems Modernization Solution (FSMS). This must be completed immediately, but no later than 30 September 2026 to avoid submission and reimbursement delays.

5. OIA’s must have all FY26 patrol requests that are currently in a “REQUESTED” status, either “APPROVED” or “DENIED”, no later than 11 September 2026. Patrol requests not already in AUXDATA II, for patrol dates between 11 September and 30 September 2026, must be “APPROVED” prior to 11 September 2026. Any patrol requests received by the OIA after 11 September 2026 may be “APPROVED” on a case-by-case basis. This case-by-case basis will be determined by available funding.

6. OIA’s shall ensure all “COMPLETED” patrol orders are in a “SUBMITTED” status in AUXDATA II prior to 30 September 2026.

7.  The above dates are subject to change based on the Coast Guard Office of Resource Management‘s (CG-83) guidance.

8. Auxiliarists who have a patrol order reimbursement issue, or who do not agree with the amount of the patrol order claim reimbursement, shall work with their OIA in correcting and/or resolving claim issues. Coast Guard Financial Service Center (FSC, aka legacy “FINCEN”) customer service is only available to check the status of an existing claim or to obtain detailed information on claims paid by the FSC.

9.  Internet release is authorized.
