Welcome to Coast Guard Group Woods Hole!
We are located at the southwestern tip of Cape Cod, at the beginning of the Elizabethan Island chain. Group Woods Hole is one of the largest groups in the United States, covering the coastline from Duxbury, Massachusetts to the south, and the Rhode Island/Connecticut border to the east. It consists of 15 subordinate commands, including 9 multi-mission Stations, 2 Aids-to-Navigation Teams (ANTS), 3 patrol boats, and 1 Long Range Aids-to-Navigation (LORAN) Station. The Group coordinates the efforts of each of these units and provides operational, administrative, supply and engineering support to them. As part of the "One Coast Guard Concept," the Group is also supported by Coast Guard Reservists, Civilians and members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
A total of approximately 350 Active duty, 150 Reserve, 6 Civilian and 1600 Auxiliary personnel work within the Group responding primarily to search and rescue, boat safety, law enforcement, homeland security and aids to navigation missions. All Group Woods Hole activities are overseen by our Commanding Officer Captain Judith Keene.
