The National Commodore (NACO) of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is its most senior and principal officer. The national commodore represents the Auxiliary and reports to the commandant of the Coast Guard through the vice commandant of the Coast Guard. Additionally, the national commodore represents the Auxiliary with all Coast Guard flag officers and flag officer equivalent civilians at Coast Guard headquarters on Auxiliary matters. The national commodore functions to support the commandant's strategic goals and objectives and serve auxiliarists.
The title of national commodore dates to 1951, when Bert C. Pouncey, Jr. was elected as the first NACO at the first National Conference.
