The Marine Safety Training ribbon was created in recognition of the considerable and long-term, sustained effort that Auxiliarists must put forward in order to earn the Auxiliary Marine Safety (Trident) insignia. The ribbon recognizes achievement in the marine safety, security, and environmental protection mission area as a precursor to achievement of the Auxiliary Marine Safety (Trident) insignia. Auxiliarists who successfully complete the following tasks are entitled to wear this ribbon (there is no time limit in which these tasks must be completed):

• Introduction to Marine Safety and Environmental Protection (IMSEP) course.
• If completed prior to 01 Oct 2010, the Auxiliarist must also complete IIMS (Initial Indoctrination to Marine Safety). Note: IIMS was an active duty course which has since been discontinued. If IIMS has not been completed and IMSEP was earned prior to 01 Oct 2010, the new version of IMSEP must be completed.
• Good Mate Course.
• Incident Command System (ICS) courses: ICS100, ICS 200, IS 700, and IS 800.
• ICS 210 (Coast Guard taught) or ICS 300 (FEMA or Coast Guard taught).
• At least one Auxiliary Marine Safety Program PQS.

Successful completion of subsequent program PQS shall be denoted by adding 3/16-inch bronze stars. After earning the Auxiliary Marine Safety insignia, Auxiliarists shall remove this ribbon from wear.
