The PCGA is a service-oriented, uniformed, voluntary organization. It is non-governmental, non-political organization whose membership adhere to the Philippine Coast Guard's customs and traditions. Its organizational structure is parallel to PCG and has its own chain of leadership and management.
The PCGA was established in 1972 through Republic Act No. 5173 initially for the purpose of assisting the Philippine Coast Guard in the conduct of search and rescue and safety of boats at sea. Thereafter, the PCGA organization eventually expanded and is now officially covered under Section 11 of Republic Act Number 9993, otherwise known as the PCG Law of 2009.
