New AUXDATA OPCODES for Operation Vigilant Sentry (OVS)and Space Launch Support (SLS)
21 July 2025
I’m pleased to announce the availability of new AUXDATA OPCODES for Operation Vigilant Sentry (OVS) and Space Launch Support (SLS). These mission-specific OPCODES have been created to better capture and report Auxiliary support activities in these critical operational areas.
Effective immediately, members supporting OVS or SLS missions should ensure their patrols and mission hours are properly logged using the appropriate OPCODE in AUXDATA II. This enhancement allows for improved tracking, accurate reporting, and a clearer representation of the Auxiliary’s value and contributions in support of national security and space operations.
Please share this update with your teams and encourage all members involved in these activities to begin using the new codes as appropriate. Additional guidance and documentation will be provided via your Chain of Leadership and Management.
Thank you for your continued dedication and professionalism.
