Strategic Context

Component Overview

The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together programs, or PPAs, and performance measures that gauge the delivery of 

results to our stakeholders. The Common Appropriation Structure (CAS) allows DHS to integrate the programmatic view and a significant 

portion of the Level 1 PPAs represent what DHS refers to as our mission programs. A mission program is a group of activities acting together to 

accomplish a specific high-level outcome external to DHS and includes operational processes, skills, technology, human capital, and other 

resources. The U.S. Coast Guard has one primary PPA known as Operations and Support to which it’s publicly reported measures align. These 

measures are presented in two measure sets – strategic and management measures – and listed under descriptions for the five U.S. Coast Guards 

mission programs. Strategic measures communicate results delivered for our agency goals and are considered our Government Performance and 

Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) measures. Additional management measures are displayed to provide a more thorough 

context of expected performance for the Component related to its budgetary plans. Measure tables that do not display previous year’s results are 

because the measure did not exist at that time.

Maritime Law Enforcement: The Maritime Law Enforcement program preserves America’s jurisdictional rights within our maritime borders. 

The U.S. Coast Guard is the lead federal maritime law enforcement agency for enforcing national and international law on the high seas, outer 

continental shelf, and inward from the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone to inland navigable waters, including the Great Lakes. The following 

statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Law Enforcement program: Drug Interdiction; Migrant Interdiction; Living 

Marine Resources; and Other Law Enforcement.

Strategic Measures 

Measure: Fishing regulation compliance rate

Description: This measure gauges the percent of all fishing vessels boarded and inspected at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard, which had no 

documented violations of domestic fisheries regulations. The U.S. Coast Guard boards and inspects U.S. commercial and recreational fishing 

vessels in the waters of the United States; U.S. commercial and recreational fishing vessels in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); and 

U.S. commercial and recreational fishing vessels outside the U.S. EEZ. Compliance to fishing regulations impact the health and well-being of 

U.S. fisheries and marine protected species.

Measure: Interdiction rate of foreign fishing vessels violating U.S. waters

Description: This measure reports the percent of detected incursions into the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by foreign fishing vessels 

that are interdicted by the Coast Guard. Preventing illegal foreign fishing vessels from encroaching on the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is a

priority for the Coast Guard. Foreign fishing fleets steal a valuable resource, resulting in a total economic loss to the American public. 

Protecting the integrity of the nation’s maritime borders and ensuring the health of U.S. fisheries is a vital part of the Coast Guard mission.

Maritime Prevention: The Maritime Prevention program mitigates the risk of human casualties and property losses, minimizes security risks, and 

protects the marine environment. The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention program: Ports, 

Waterways, and Coastal Security; Marine Safety; and Marine Environmental Protection.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Number of breaches at high-risk maritime facilities

Description: This measure reports the number of security breaches at facilities subject to the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA)

where no Transportation Security Incident has occurred, but established security measures have been circumvented, eluded or violated. MTSA 

facilities are a high-risk subset of the national waterfront facility population given the nature of their activities and/or the products they handle. 

As such, they pose a greater risk for significant loss of life, environmental damage, or economic disruption if attacked. MTSA regulated 

facilities constitute more than 3,400 high-risk subset of all waterfront facilities. They are facilities that handle certain dangerous cargoes, liquid 

natural gas, transfer oil, hazardous materials in bulk; or receive foreign cargo vessels greater than 100 gross tons, U.S. cargo vessels greater than 

100 gross tons carrying certain dangerous cargoes, or vessels carrying more than 150 passengers.

Management Measures

Measure: Annual Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) Facility compliance rate with Transportation Worker Identification 

Credential (TWIC) regulations

Description: This measure reports the percent of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) regulated facilities that are found to be in 

compliance with the Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) regulations during CG inspections. The Security and Accountability for 

Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 requires the Coast Guard to conduct at least two MTSA security inspections on regulated facilities each year; 

one announced and one unannounced. CG Inspectors randomly sample different areas of a facility (admin staff, security staff, dock workers, 

etc.) to check for TWIC compliance by ensuring workers have a valid and current TWIC card. Some infractions can be corrected on the spot, 

e.g., a trucker forgot his TWIC in his truck cab. Depending on the number and severity of TWIC infractions, the inspector/Capt of the Port may 

find the facility not in compliance. Statistical guidelines have been developed based on the size of the facility to aid inspectors, and to ensure 

random sampling.

Result: 1,617 1,475 1,344 1,202 TBD TBD

Measure: Percent of time rescue assets are on-scene within 2 hours

Description: Time on scene is calculated from the earliest time a Search and Rescue Unit (SRU) is requested to proceed until the earliest time 

of arrival on scene of an SRU. This includes readiness time, the 30 minutes of preparation time, that provides for underway preps (i.e. engine 

warm-ups, underway checklist, risk management evaluation, and mission planning) and the transit time, the 90 minutes from underway to on 

scene based on moderate environmental conditions which allow for operation of the SRUs at their top cruise speeds. To calculate the response 

times used in the measure, the Coast Guard uses the following equation: Time On Scene = First Sortie On Scene Time minus First Resource 

Requested Time. The Coast Guard established the 2-hour On Scene Standard in the 1970's and conducted a full review of the standard in 1992. 

The standard is based on survival expectations in the average weighted water temperatures. The weighting factors into the varying number of 

incidents occurring regionally.

Maritime Security Operations: The Maritime Security Operations program encompasses activities to detect, deter, prevent, disrupt, and recover 

from terrorist attacks and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. It includes the execution of antiterrorism, response, and select recovery 

operations. This program conducts the operational element of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security mission and 

complements the other two elements: the establishment and oversight of maritime security regimes, and maritime domain awareness.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Percent risk reduction of coordinated anti-terrorism activities throughout the maritime transportation system

Description: This measure gauges risk reduction impact of maritime security and response operations (MSRO) conducted in and around ports 

in the 37 Captain of the Port (COTP) zones by the U.S. Coast Guard or federal, state, and local partners. MSRO include conducting vessel 

security boardings, providing vessel escorts, enforcing fixed security zones, and conducting surface and land patrols around ports based on 

available hours and assets. Security risks in the maritime environment include waterborne explosive device attacks, hijacked large vessel 

attacks, hostage taking, and terrorist assault teams. Executing planned MSRO helps detect, deter, prevent, disrupt, and recover from terrorist 

attacks and other criminal acts in the maritime domain.

of the Port (COTP) zone Port Tactical Activity Plans were executed by U.S. Coast Guard or federal, state, and local partners. Quarterly, COTPs 

use Risk-Based Maritime Security and Response Operations (RBMSRO) calculations of assessed vulnerabilities, historical maritime activity, 

and asset availability to produce their Tactical Activity Plans to specify the types of operations that will optimize reducing the risk to ports by 

terrorism and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. Operations include conducting vessel security boardings, providing vessel escorts,

enforcing fixed security zones, and conducting surface and land patrols around ports based on available hours and assets. Security risks in the 

maritime environment include waterborne explosive device attacks, hijacked large vessel attacks, hostage taking, and terrorist assault teams.

Maritime Transportation Systems Management: The Marine Transportation System Management program ensures a safe, secure, efficient and 

environmentally sound waterways system. The U.S. Coast Guard minimizes disruptions to maritime commerce by assessing and mitigating risks 

to safe navigation and by providing waterways restoration capabilities after extreme weather events, marine accidents, or terrorist incidents. The 

U.S. Coast Guard works in concert with other federal agencies, state and local governments, marine industries, maritime associations, and the 

international community to optimize balanced use of the Nation’s marine transportation system. The following statutory missions contribute to 

the U.S. Coast Guard’s Marine Transportation System Management program: Aids to Navigation and Ice Operations.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Availability of maritime navigation aids

Description: This measure indicates the hours that short-range federal Aids to Navigation are available. The aid availability rate is based on an 

international measurement standard established by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities 

(IALA) (Recommendation O-130) in December 2004. A short-range Aid to Navigation is counted as not being available from the initial time a 

discrepancy is reported until the time the discrepancy is corrected.

Component Budget Overview

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 President’s Budget provides the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) $12.3B in total gross budget authority. This represents an

increase of $142.3M over the FY 2020 Enacted Appropriation.

The Coast Guard is a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety, security, and environmental 

stewardship in U.S. ports and inland waterways, along more than 95,000 miles of U.S. coastline, throughout the 4.5 million square miles of U.S. 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas. A military service, a law enforcement organization, a regulatory agency, a member of the 

U.S. Intelligence Community, and a first responder, the Coast Guard supports Department of Defense (DOD) Combatant Commanders on all seven 

continents, secures U.S. maritime borders, combats transnational criminal organizations, and safeguards the $5.4 trillion U.S. maritime economy. The 

Service leverages an expansive array of military, interagency, international, and industrial relationships, capabilities, and authorities to maximize 

strategic effect and support DHS and National priorities.

The FY 2021 President’s Budget sustains the most critical Coast Guard operations and continues the Service’s highest priority recapitalization efforts 

for cutters, boats, aircraft, systems, and infrastructure. The Budget includes 51,170 positions; 49,856 FTE; and funding for all 11 statutory Coast 

Guard missions. In FY 2021, the Coast Guard continues to efficiently allocate budgetary resources to optimize performance across all Coast Guard 

mission programs and activities.

FY 2021 funding continues efforts on the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) program to meet growing demands in the Polar Regions by fully funding 

construction of the second Polar Security Cutter. Furthermore, the Budget supports construction of the third Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC) and Long 

Lead Time Material (LLTM) for the fourth. In addition to surface recapitalization efforts, FY 2021 funding continues sustainment and conversion 

work on in-service fixed and rotary wing aircraft, including missionization of the C-27J aircraft received from the Air Force.

The FY 2021 President’s Budget resources the Coast Guard to conduct today’s highest priority operations in support of National objectives, while 

restoring Service readiness. In FY 2021, the Coast Guard will accept delivery of more capable, modernized assets. The Budget provides the resources 

to operate and maintain these new assets including operations and maintenance of one National Security Cutter, crew of the first OPC, and two Fast 

Response Cutters. The Budget also makes significant investments to begin rebuilding Coast Guard readiness in information technology 

infrastructure, workforce readiness, and aviation readiness. Funding is also provided to address National Security priorities, including cybersecurity, 

overseas support to DOD, Oceania, and efforts to combat Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs).

The Department intends to continue implementation of the Common Appropriations Structure for Coast Guard, specifically implementing a 

restructuring of the Program, Project, or Activity (PPA) categories under the O&S account. The Department’s intent is to more effectively reflect the 

Coast Guard’s programs and missions, while simultaneously preserving necessary programming flexibility. Though the Congressional Justification 

does not request appropriations for FY 2021 under a new PPA structure, the Department intends to transmit to the Appropriations Committees a 

proposal and a crosswalk of how the FY 2021 Budget would appear under that new structure. The purpose of that transmittal is to begin a 

conversation with the Appropriations Committees to determine an appropriate and acceptable structure for future Fiscal Years, rather than intending 

the FY 2021 Budget to be appropriated under this new structure.

Reports

Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) Project Backlog Impact

The information presented below fulfills the directive in Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Department of Homeland 

Security Appropriations Act (P.L. 114-113):

“The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget justification a listing of the activities projected to be funded by the amount requested 

under this heading and an updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and Restoration projects, with an explanation of how the 

amount requested will impact this documented backlog.”

The Coast Guard's prioritized listing of projects eligible for EC&R funding is reflective of the Coast Guard’s review of current EC&R requirements 

and both completion and consolidation of projects. This list contains 140 projects with an estimated total cost of $128.1M. Estimated costs include 

restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation work, site remediation work, and long term management) and to be executed 

across several years (e.g., long term management can potentially extend out to 30 years or more). The following table provides a detailed listing of 

potential future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as new information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes 

available.

FY 2021 EC&R funding of $13.7M continues long term monitoring at 23 sites, begins or continues investigation/remediation site work at 16 sites,

and displays a commitment to ongoing identification, investigation, cleanup, and long-term management of contamination from hazardous substances 

and pollutants for Coast Guard systems, buildings, structures, and assets.

The Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation funds the Coast Guard’s roles and responsibilities as the principal Federal agency in the maritime 

domain providing for the safety, security, and stewardship of U.S. resources for the Nation.

The O&S appropriation funds the annualization of prior-year funding, economic adjustments, and operating and maintenance funding for new and

existing Coast Guard Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs). The O&S budget directly funds all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions and other 

Service activities in support of the Department of Homeland Security and National priorities. Of the funding, $24.5M is derived from the Oil Spill 

Liability Trust Fund as authorized by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC § 2701-2761).

The O&S budget includes increases for the annualization of FY 2020 initiatives; the 2020 military pay increase of 3.1%; the 2020 civilian pay 

increase of 3.1%; the 2021 military pay increase of 3.0%; the 2021 civilian pay increase of 1%; military and civilian personnel allowances and 

benefits; operational adjustments; the operation, maintenance, and crewing of systems, vessels, aircraft, and shore facilities delivered via the Coast 

Guard’s acquisition programs (i.e., Shore Facilities, Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), National Security Cutter (NSC)); and 

the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program, including training, equipping, and ensuring the readiness of the 

Coast Guard Reserve workforce to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of crisis, domestically or worldwide. The O&S budget also 

prioritizes Coast Guard readiness and invests in key national strategic homeland security priorities, including cybersecurity and efforts to combat 

transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). The budget includes decreases to continue the focus on the most critical frontline operations in FY 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 5

2021, as well as termination of one-time costs; annualization of prior-year initiative reductions; operational adjustments; and asset

decommissionings.

For FY 2021, the O&S budget incorporates funding for the Coast Guard’s enduring overseas missions in support of the global fight against terror. 

Funding for these missions was previously requested for the Coast Guard by the U.S. Navy and appropriated for Overseas Contingency 

Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 

Within the O&S appropriation are eight PPAs:

Military Pay and Allowances: The Military Pay and Allowances PPA funds expenses related to compensation and benefits for active duty military 

personnel.

Civilian Pay and Benefits: The Civilian Pay and Benefits PPA funds expenses related to compensation and entitlements for Federal civilian 

employees.

Training and Recruiting: The Training and Recruiting PPA provides funding for the Coast Guard’s basic and advanced professional training and 

education programs. Additionally, it funds the operation and maintenance of the eight national Coast Guard training centers, the Coast Guard 

Academy, nine regional training centers, and all Coast Guard recruiting centers.

Operating Funds and Unit Level Maintenance: The Operating Funds and Unit Level Maintenance PPA provides funds for units, facilities, and 

activities that are under the direct operational and administrative control of the Coast Guard’s Headquarters, Atlantic Area Commander, and Pacific 

Area Commander.

Centrally Managed Accounts: The Centrally Managed Accounts PPA funds services provided across the entire Coast Guard.

Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance: The Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance PPA funds the Coast Guard’s depot level 

maintenance for the Service’s vessels, aircraft, and shore facilities. This PPA also funds maintenance and support of enterprise IT software systems, 

enterprise communication/network services, standard workstations, the Coast Guard Data Network (CGOne), cybersecurity, satellite and data 

communications, and other Coast Guard-wide Command, Control, Communication, Computer, and Information Technology (C4IT) systems.

Reserve Training: The Reserve Training PPA funds the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program and ensures the 

readiness of the Coast Guard Reserve, which provides units with personnel to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of crisis, 

domestically or worldwide.

Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R): The EC&R PPA provides funding for environmental cleanup, sustainment, and restoration 

of current and former contaminated Coast Guard facilities, including site assessment, remediation, and long-term monitoring and management.

U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 23

Program Change 1 – Acquisition Support Personnel:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 30 positions, 16 FTE, and $3.1M to increase the Coast Guard’s professional acquisition workforce. This 

increase is required to oversee and support Procurement, Construction, & Improvement (PC&I) programs. The primary activities include project and 

financial management. The base for this program is 1,066 positions, 959 FTE, and $132.5M.

Justification

This request funds compensation, benefits, and related costs for personnel who perform work on Coast Guard PC&I initiatives. These personnel will 

perform a variety of technical, contracting and program management roles to ensure that: new and legacy assets achieve acquisition milestones and 

operational requirements; planned and ongoing shore construction projects meet requisite timelines; and all contracting requirements to obligate and 

expend program funds are met. The initiative supports new or accelerating acquisitions, including Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) and Polar Security 

Cutter (PSC), 47' Motor Life Boat service life extension project, Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC), electronic health records, Command, Control, 

Communication, Computer, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I), and shore infrastructure projects. It includes personnel needed to manage, execute, and 

carry out contract oversight duties at shipyard Project Resident Offices; Program Managers for new-start Cyber and Enterprise Mission Platform 

acquisition projects; and technical experts supporting development of complex mission systems and shore infrastructure projects. Coast Guard 

acquisition programs rely on an appropriate level of government acquisition professionals with the competencies and capacity to manage acquisitions 

in accordance with Coast Guard and DHS policies, while meeting additional requirements established in the Chief Financial Officer Act, ClingerCohen Act, DHS certification level requirements, and OMB Circular A-76.

Performance

Investment in capital assets requires a professional acquisition workforce to ensure proper execution of appropriated funds. Onsite management of 

contracts via Project Resident Offices is necessary to build, deliver, inspect and manage critical aspects of ship construction in support of national 

acquisition priorities such as the PSC and WCC. Program Managers represent the minimum workforce necessary to ensure appropriate management 

of activities and funds, and to maintain current acquisition schedules for programs providing workforce mobility capabilities, tactical cutter and 

aircraft communications, and maritime security risk analysis. Failure to provide adequate contract oversight and management risks delays in program 

delivery schedules, degraded contract performance and program execution, as well as increased sustainment and operational costs for legacy assets.

Program Change 2 – Aviation Readiness:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes an increase of $9.1M to rebuild the aircraft parts inventory to meet operational aviation demand. It also supports the 

replacement of MH-60T helicopter Emergency Recovery Devices (ERD). The base for this program is $357.9M.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 24

Justification

Over the past two years, Coast Guard aircraft lost over 9,000 flight hours due to lack of parts and supplies, approximately equivalent to fourteen MH65s or twelve HC-130Js. This request provides additional spare parts funding to improve aviation readiness and reduce lost flight hours. The ERD is 

the back-up hoist system required aboard all MH-60T helicopters, and the existing system is no longer supported. This request funds a replacement 

that has been evaluated and tested, providing sufficient ERDs to each unit to equip its operational aircraft.

Performance

The primary detractor to Coast Guard aviation readiness is the lack of spare parts. This additional funding, coupled with increases in the FY 2020 

appropriation, will help arrest the growth of backlogs and rebuild the aircraft parts inventory, improving the operational availability of fixed and 

rotary wing aircraft.

Program Change 3 – Awards Spending Increase:

Description 

The FY 2021 Request includes an increase of $10.8M for Awards Spending for civilian employees. The base for this program is $12.2M. 

Justification 

Consistent with this guidance, the FY 2021 Budget increases awards spending to support strategic workforce development. On July 12, 2019, OMB 

issued Memorandum 19-24 Guidance on Awards for Employees and Agency Workforce Funding Plan. This Memorandum directs agencies to review 

and update their current awards spending plans in order to: 1) support the strategic use of awards and recognition throughout the year; 2) address 

workforce challenges and recognize high performing employees; and 3) recognize those employees with talent critical to mission achievement. 

Performance 

The FY 2021 Budget supports the agency workforce planning requirements by providing a one percent increase for awards spending. The additional 

funding will help drive positive behavior by recognizing accomplishments of Coast Guard civilian personnel, thereby fostering a culture of 

recognition.

Program Change 4 – Countering Transnational Criminal Organizations:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 27 positions, 14 FTE, and $2.5M to expand the Coast Guard’s capacity to execute a multi-layered 

approach in the Western Hemisphere maritime transit zone, dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs), and secure our Nation’s borders 

from illicit smuggling of all kinds. The base for this program is 48 positions, 26 FTE, and $6.5M.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 25

Justification

This request improves command, control, and coordination of enforcement cases in the in the Eastern Pacific, where 96 percent of the drugs are 

moved in the maritime domain. It enhances investigative capacity and cross-Component coordination through increased participation in the Panama 

Express (PANEX) Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), which aims to identify, disrupt, and dismantle TCOs involved in 

large-scale drug trafficking, money laundering, and related activities. In addition, this request adds personnel to enhance investigative capacity in the 

key discipline of Document and Media Exploitation (DOMEX), an important enabler of counter-TCO operations. By providing dedicated Sensor 

Desk operators, the initiative also facilitates continuous operations at the Joint Homeland Operations Center (JHOC) in San Diego, improving crossComponent awareness and intelligence in this critical border region. Finally, this request increases the Coast Guard's capacity to counter TCOs in a 

key area of responsibility: Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands. 

Performance

With current resources, the Coast Guard is able to disrupt less than 20 percent of known drug smuggling in the maritime transit zone. The requested 

resources will improve cross-Component coordination and information sharing for active narcotics cases across Coast Guard Districts of the Eastern 

Pacific and in the Caribbean, and enhance the effectiveness of interdiction efforts. In addition, this increase of personnel trained in legal and 

document exploitation will enhance investigative capacity and intelligence production. These changes will improve DHS’s ability to interdict known 

narcotics flows and disrupt the primary revenue stream for TCOs in Central and South America. The San Diego region saw a 100 percent increase of 

illegal immigration cases in the maritime domain in FY 2018. This trend will likely continue as the land border is reinforced. Staffing the JHOC with 

full-time sensor operators will provide advance detection of suspected illegal border crossings and will further enhance cross-Component and 

interagency cooperation and information sharing.

Program Change 5 – Cutter Underway Connectivity:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of $6.9M to address existing Commercial Satellite Communication (COMSATCOM) network connectivity 

limitations for cutters through recapitalization of antiquated hardware, increased bandwidth, and broader coverage. The base for this program is 1

position, 1 FTE, and $13.7M.

Justification

Requirements for underway connectivity (bandwidth, reliability, and coverage area) have increased significantly since the current generation of 

equipment was installed. This initiative doubles bandwidth for the Coast Guard’s major cutter fleet to meet mission requirements. In addition, it 

supports short-duration increases to coverage area for cutters deployed outside of normal operating areas. The current generation of COMSATCOM 

equipment used on most legacy Coast Guard cutters is near its end-of-life.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 26

Performance

Reliable cutter connectivity is essential to modern Coast Guard operations across all mission areas. Cutters are increasingly deployed globally in 

support of critical National Security missions. With increased connectivity airtime, cutters will receive additional patching, increased mission 

execution data and systems, and greatly reduce cyber vulnerabilities.

Program Change 6 – Cyber Enabling Operations:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 71 positions, 36 FTE, and $17.4M to establish a Coast Guard capability for Cyber Enabling Operations.

The increase establishes a new program.

Justification

This initiative establishes an organic capability in direct support of National Security requirements to leverage cyberspace to detect, deter, disable, 

and defeat adversaries. This request achieves initial operating capability for a Cyber Mission Team (CMT) and a Cyber Support Team (CST), with 

team structures aligned with the DOD Cyber Mission Force construct. Teams will include a cyber and intelligence workforce as well as planners, 

Coast Guard Investigative Service agents, and technical support personnel. The Coast Guard will leverage partnerships with DOD and other agencies 

to minimize the cost of infrastructure and cyber tools. 

Performance

This capability will provide an additional resource to accomplish certain Coast Guard missions, including counter-narcotics and defense operations. 

Cyber Enabling Operations will inform operational planning and support mission objectives across multiple mission areas. The new capability will 

leverage the Coast Guard’s military, law enforcement, and intelligence authorities to counter adversaries in the cyber domain, by preventing and 

disrupting criminal use of cyberspace. While performance measures associated with this capability will continue to mature, cyber activities directly 

or indirectly contributing to operational outcomes will illustrate the impact of this new capability in existing mission areas. 

Program Change 7 – Cyber Operations and Training:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 4 positions, 2 FTE, and $1.2M to enhance the effectiveness of Coast Guard cyber operations by growing 

the Coast Guard’s cyber training programs and by providing the first permanent Coast Guard Cyber Staff Judge Advocate. The base for this program 

is 139 positions, 102 FTE, and $20.7M.

Justification

This request will enable the Coast Guard to increase cyber training throughput for both Officers and Enlisted personnel, while developing an organic 

cyber training capability through three instructor positions. This request also provides a Coast Guard Cyber Staff Judge Advocate to advise on the 

laws and regulations that govern cyber operations. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 27

Performance

An effective cyber training pipeline and Staff Judge Advocate are essential to sustaining and building the Coast Guard’s cyber program. This request 

provides that critical next step in maturing Coast Guard cyber and ensuring its readiness to meet operational requirements and emergent cyber threats.

Program Change 8 – Cyber Protection and Defense:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 93 positions, 42 FTE, and $13.1M to facilitate a more resilient Marine Transportation System (MTS) 

and better defend Coast Guard networks. The base for this program is 139 positions, 102 FTE, and $20.7M.

Justification

This initiative establishes a second Coast Guard Cyber Protection Team (CPT), consistent with National Security priorities to deter, prevent, and 

respond to malicious cyber activity targeting critical maritime infrastructure. The CPT also assesses risk to ports and infrastructure, and works with 

Marine Transportation System (MTS) partners to ensure facilities regulated under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA)

incorporate cyber provisions into their security and response plans. CPTs deploy to support the Captain of the Port in response to cyber incidents in 

the MTS and work with other Federal partners (e.g. FBI, CISA) to investigate and mitigate the threat. In addition to providing critical cyber support 

to the MTS, this initiative facilitates cybersecurity operations by providing defense of Coast Guard enterprise networks and systems. 

Performance

This initiative addresses gaps in the Coast Guard’s ability to defend Coast Guard IT systems by reducing the time required to implement 

cybersecurity measures tasked by DOD. It also includes cyber tools that enable the Coast Guard to measure the effectiveness of its defenses against 

cyber intrusion attempts. A second CPT will improve the Coast Guard’s ability to lead the unity of effort required to protect maritime critical 

infrastructure from cyber attacks by conducting additional risk assessments and responding to more reports of cyber incidents in the MTS. 

Program Change 9 – Decommission Eight Marine Protector Class Coastal Patrol Boats:

Description

The FY 2020 Budget includes a decrease of 104 positions, 56 FTE, and $3.9M for decommissions of eight legacy 87-foot Marine Protector Class 

Coastal Patrol Boats (CPBs). The base for this program is 104 positions, 104 FTE, and $12.7M.

Justification

This initiative decommissions eight 87-foot Marine Protector Class CPBs. This initiative is based on the acquisition of the Fast Response Cutter 

(FRC) and Response Boat – Medium (RB-M), both of which are more capable than the legacy assets that they replace. Decommissioning these assets 

focuses patrol boat funding on operating and supporting new assets, such as the FRCs, as well as other strategic priorities. Forecasted material 

condition as assessed by the Coast Guard’s Patrol Boat Product Line will be a factor in identifying the specific cutter hulls to be decommissioned, 

ensuring that the cutters with the best material condition remain operational. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 28

Performance

Overall fleet performance degradation will be minimized since FRCs outperform previous patrol boats and RB-Ms are more capable than previous 

boats. Finally, the decommissionings will focus on areas where the combination of FRCs and RB-Ms provides sufficient capability to remove the 

operational need for an 87-foot CPB.

Program Change 10 – Decommission Two High Endurance Cutters (WHEC):

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a decrease of 386 positions, 289 FTE, and $30.2M for decommissions of two legacy High Endurance Cutters 

(WHEC). The base for this program is 386 positions, 386 FTE, and $44.9M.

Justification

The remaining WHEC fleet is operating well beyond its design service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. This request 

decommissions the final two WHECs in the operational fleet and removes the remaining support personnel solely dedicated to sustaining this legacy 

cutter class.

Performance

The WHEC fleet is being replaced by more capable NSCs, which are exceeding performance expectations. Lost patrol days associated with early 

decommissioning will be accounted for in long-term deployment planning for the Coast Guard’s surface fleet in order to ensure that required 

coverage is maintained. 

Program Change 11 – Decommission Two Island Class Patrol Boats (WPBs):

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a decrease of 36 positions, 14 FTE, and $1.4M for decommissions of two 110-foot Island Class patrol boats. The O&S 

base for these two cutters is 36 positions, 36 FTE, and $4.5M.

Justification

The 110-foot patrol boat fleet is beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. In accordance with the 

Coast Guard’s patrol boat transition plan and the Congressionally-directed transition of Coast Guard patrol forces in the Arabian Gulf, two WPBs 

supporting Patrol Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA) will be decommissioned. Following these decommissionings, there will be eleven 110-foot 

patrol boats in the domestic operational fleet and four supporting PATFORSWA.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 29

Performance

This request will generate no adverse impact on mission performance, and no degradation of Coast Guard support to U. S. Central Command. The 

two WPBs being decommissioned will be replaced by more capable Fast Response Cutters (FRCs), which will be in-theater and operational before 

the legacy WPBs are decommissioned.

Program Change 12 – Electronic Health Record Transition:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of $2.4M to support the Coast Guard’s ongoing transition to electronic health records (EHR). The base for 

this program is 5 positions, 3 FTE, and $24.8M.

Justification

Coast Guard medical clinics and sick bays continue to use paper records for personal medical record keeping. The Coast Guard’s transition to the 

Military Health System (MHS) Genesis software architecture, the same core EHR system utilized by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), will provide an electronic health record solution consistent with other military services and enable interagency 

compatibility with DOD and VA systems. The transition requires additional funding in FY 2021 for two major components of the acquisition, a 

centralized solution for medical and dental radiological image archiving and the migration of data from legacy paper records to the new electronic 

records.

Performance

Without adequate investments in this ongoing transition, the Coast Guard is at significant risk of failing to meet programmatic requirements, placing 

both operational commanders and the workforce at risk of a delayed or incomplete transition to electronic health records. Both of the elements 

funded in this request, the imagery solution and the data migration, are essential to meeting timelines for the transition. 

Program Change 13 – Fast Response Cutter (FRC) Follow-On:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 32 positions, 31 FTE, and $7.8M for personnel and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for two Fast 

Response Cutters (FRCs). The base for the 43rd FRC is 28 positions, 14 FTE, and $1.1M. The base for the 44th FRC is 0 positions, 0 FTE, and 

$0.0M.

• FRC O&M for Hulls 43-44: Provides O&M for FRC Hulls to be homeported in Apra Harbor, Guam and Key West, Florida.

• FRC Crews for Hull 44: Provides crews for a FRC Hull to be homeported in Key West, Florida.

• FRC Follow-On Support for Hulls 19, 20, 35, 39, 40, and 34: Provides personnel for shore-side support of FRC Hulls 19, 20, 35, 39, 40, and 34 

homeported in Cape May, New Jersey and Apra Harbor, Guam.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 30

Justification

The FRC is the replacement for the 110-foot Island Class patrol boat that is past its designed service life. This request begins funding operation and 

maintenance of newly delivered FRCs.

Performance

The FRC is more capable than the 110-foot patrol boat with advanced electronics and enhanced operational capabilities. This funding improves and 

expands the Coast Guard’s capability to secure the U.S. border and approaches, disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations and other 

illicit actors, prevent unlawful immigration, and enhance national preparedness.

Program Change 14 – GSA Building Efficiencies:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a reduction of $800,000 for a reduction in rent costs. The base for this program is $800,000.

Justification

This reduction eliminates an annual lease and enhances mission support effectiveness through relocation of personnel from a leased facility to a 

government owned facility at Base Alameda, California, enabling co-location of operational and support partners. 

Performance

This initiative will yield annual rent savings from the consolidation of approximately 155 personnel into a central location in a government-owned 

facility. Consolidation of personnel reduces the Service’s overall footprint and improves mission effectiveness.

Program Change 15 – Information Technology Infrastructure Readiness:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 3 positions, 2 FTE, and $23.7M to replace antiquated IT hardware, improve contingency 

communications, and transition enterprise applications. This establishes a base for refreshing information technology equipment on an industry 

standard replacement cycle.

Justification

This initiative enhances Coast Guard IT infrastructure readiness in accordance with DHS and DOD requirements. It places antiquated Coast Guard 

workstations, servers, and network hardware on a recurring recapitalization cycle, supports Coast Guard cloud migration efforts, and enhances 

contingency connectivity by increasing remote access capacity. This funding also provides essential program management personnel and Continuous 

Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM).
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 31

Performance

This initiative affects Coast Guard enterprise IT equipment, including workstations, servers, and network hardware, by funding recapitalization in 

accordance with the Service’s IT Asset Refresh Plan. Without sufficient funding for regular recapitalization, the Coast Guard has been forced to 

exceed the service life of its IT equipment, operating some devices for as long as 8-10 years. This has resulted in several failures of critical hardware, 

including one that interrupted mission-essential applications for nearly a week, and another that impaired email communications during a hurricane 

response. By adopting industry standards staggering replacement of its 45,000 workstations every four years, 3,000 servers every five years, and 

6,800 network hardware elements every five years, the Coast Guard will improve the overall reliability of its enterprise IT systems, enhancing

mission performance during steady state operations and contingency response.

Program Change 16 – Information Technology Insourcing:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 95 positions, 71 FTE, and a decrease of $1.4M. The budget continues insourcing efforts started in FY 

2020 at the C4IT Service Center, generating savings by replacing contractors with government FTE. The base for this program is 46 positions, 24 

FTE, and $2.8M.

Justification

The Coast Guard has historically relied on contracted support for its C4IT equipment and infrastructure. By selectively insourcing these functions

and converting contracted positions to government employees, the Coast Guard will continue to develop organic capability while increasing 

flexibility within the C4IT Service Center and repurposing resources to DHS and Coast Guard strategic priorities. 

Performance

This initiative improves performance by increasing the portion of support provided by the organic Coast Guard workforce, improving the C4IT 

support structure’s ability to respond to evolving mission needs.

Program Change 17 – Integrated Disability Evaluation System:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 5 positions, 3 FTE, and a reduction of $4.4M associated with the establishment of an Integrated 

Disability Evaluation System (IDES) at the Personnel Services Center. This change establishes a new program that will generate savings in Military 

Pay, which has a base of $3,996.8M.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 32

Justification

This request represents an invest-to-save initiative that will centralize the processing of all Coast Guard disability evaluation and medical discharge 

requests. This initiative adds positions to develop and staff the IDES, which will streamline the existing medical discharge processing system. The 

new system is expected to generate $4.4M in savings by reducing discharge processing times by over 50 percent, allowing members to be removed 

from the payroll in half the time and commands to receive replacements sooner, improving unit readiness.

Performance

Centralizing the medical disability evaluation system enables standardization, improves consistency, reduces the administrative burden on field clinic 

personnel, and accelerates backfill staffing for operational units.

Program Change 18 – Management Efficiencies:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a reduction of 36 positions, 32 FTE, and $5.2M for efficiencies achieved through consolidation efforts within the 

resources organization, non-reimbursable detailees, and the National Command Center within Coast Guard Headquarters. The base for the Coast 

Guard Headquarters resources organization is 221 positions, 221 FTE, and $35.7M.

Justification

This initiative promotes efficiency of and removes redundancy within the Coast Guard Headquarters resource enterprise. It focuses on fostering a 

new resource organization that can objectively evaluate enterprise risk and deliver necessary financial services to the Coast Guard. The National 

Command Center and National Response Center both provide 24/7 watches. While they perform unique functions, oversight and management of 

these operations are similar. By combining resource management, program analysis, and watch supervision positions where overlap exists, the Coast 

Guard is able to focus resources on DHS and Coast Guard strategic priorities.

Performance

This initiative is expected to improve resources management within Coast Guard Headquarters through centralization and reduction of redundant 

functions. Additionally, in combining positions that share functional roles, the Coast Guard is able to reduce the overall combined staffing at the 

National Command Center and the National Response Center with no impact on mission performance.

Program Change 19 – Maritime Safety, Security, and Commerce:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 58 positions, 27 FTE, and $5.6M to strengthen the Coast Guard’s marine safety program through 

improved marine inspector training, increases to the marine inspector workforce, expansion of the third-party oversight and auditing program, and 

implementation of the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA). The base for the third-party oversight program is 27 positions, 20 FTE, and $6.2M. 

This initiative establishes a new program for VIDA implementation.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 33

Justification

In order to meet the increasing complexity of the marine industry, and to ensure proper oversight of authorized classification societies performing 

marine safety functions on behalf of the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard must improve its capability and capacity within the marine safety program. 

Following reviews of the tragic loss of the commercial vessel EL FARO, the maritime community considered a number of safety protocols, 

inspection standards, and regulatory oversight initiatives. National Transportation Safety Board and Coast Guard investigations of the incident 

identified areas for improvement and provided recommendations to prevent a similar incident from occurring. The enhancements targeted through 

this request primarily address those concerns. Additionally, this initiative increases marine inspector capacity to implement new towing vessel 

regulations, and provides initial staffing to support implementation of VIDA, enacted in December 2018. VIDA establishes new responsibilities for 

the Coast Guard related to the implementation, compliance, and enforcement of discharges incidental to the normal operation of a vessel. 

Performance

This request continues to address the gap in Coast Guard marine safety capacity through development of additional organic capability and an 

improved ability to leverage third-party classification societies. The increase of marine inspectors and modernization of training are the initial steps 

to address capability gaps identified in the findings of the EL FARO investigation. This request also provides funding for personnel and operating 

costs to expand the third-party oversight program to improve oversight of third-party inspectors who perform work on the Coast Guard’s behalf for 

the commercial vessel fleet, enhance the Coast Guard’s ability to meet increased inspection demands for towing vessels, and support new 

requirements under VIDA.

Program Change 20 – Maritime Sector Cybersecurity Engagement:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 14 positions, 7 FTE, and $950,000 to improve cybersecurity engagement with Federal, State, territorial, 

tribal, local, and private sector partners by establishing marine transportation system (MTS) cyber specialists at critical ports of entry. The increase 

establishes a base for this program.

Justification

Currently, Coast Guard Sectors do not have a cyber expert on staff to support the Captain of the Port in coordinating cyber vulnerability assessments 

or incident response. As cyber threats to the MTS become more common and sophisticated, security coordination with industry partners must evolve 

to include cybersecurity. Assigning cyber specialists at critical ports of entry will facilitate coordination and engagement with stakeholders to address 

cyber threats in our ports and waterways. 

Performance

The addition of cyber specialists at ports of entry enhances the Coast Guard’s ability to address cyber-related risks onboard vessels and at regulated 

facilities, reducing the likelihood of a cyber-incident occurring at a critical component of the MTS. Coast Guard cyber specialists will also work with 

partners on improving resiliency and reducing recovery time in the event of a cyber-incident.

Program Change 21 – Military Allowances Reduction:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a reduction of $23.2M to military allowances including military healthcare costs and Permanent Change of Station 

(PCS) travel. The base for this program is $602.2M.

Justification

This request reflects an adjustment to projected costs of military benefits requested for FY 2021. Historically, the Coast Guard has budgeted military 

benefits to the most recent actuarial projection. Over the past few years, actual spending has trailed actuarial projections, and this reduction accounts 

for an expected lower actual cost when compared to the actuarial projection, specifically in the areas of military healthcare and PCS travel.

Performance

This reduction represents a risk position within the military pay and benefits accounts. Based on historical spending trends, the Coast Guard believes 

that this is an appropriate area to take risk. Military healthcare and PCS travel are must-pay bills that will be monitored closely during execution. 

Program Change 22 – Mission Ready Total Workforce Training and Support:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 104 positions, 54 FTE, and $12.72M. This request supports Coast Guard efforts recruit, train, and retain 

a diverse workforce that is ready to meet emergent mission needs and more reflective of the demographics of our Nation. 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s missions, and support for those missions, drive human capital requirements. The Service needs to attract and retain a talented 

workforce to address threats including: transnational criminal organizations, cyber adversaries, bad actors, incursions into U. S. waters and resources, 

and eroded readiness. These threats are changing the scope of operations and creating an increased demand for more sophisticated human capital 

strategies. As new mission demands and threats to the homeland emerge, the Service must adjust to meet changing requirements. This request 

supports the Coast Guard’s ability to provide individuals with the necessary training and support needed to execute the mission and strengthens 

current efforts critical to building resiliency in our workforce. It supports Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, training and retention in critical areas of 

expertise, and support to the active duty and reserve workforce. Specifically, this request makes permanent recruiters and Military Entrance 

Processing personnel positions, and it expands capabilities and resources to further develop Diversity and Inclusion policies and programs. Further, it 

enables the Reserve healthcare program to meet service delivery requirements, and the Service to meet DOD medical readiness requirements. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 35

Performance

Initiatives in this program change are informed by research and guidance from DHS, OMB, and DOD, as well as the recently published RAND 

Women’s Retention Study. Training initiatives improve consistency across online courses and fill a gap in the officer leadership continuum by 

expanding the midcareer program to the entire workforce. In addition, a diverse workforce is essential to mission performance. Recruiting statistics 

show that recruiting diverse candidates for military service requires approximately three times the level of engagement. This initiative bolsters 

recruiting and marketing to facilitate the additional engagement required to recruit a more diverse workforce. 

Program Change 23 – Mission Support Efficiencies:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 22 positions, 22 FTE, and a decrease of $11.7M, representing product line and mission support 

efficiencies within the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), and Director of Operational Logistics. The base for 

the SFLC program is 1896 positions, 1896 FTE, and $423.0M. The base for the ALC program is 748 positions, 748 FTE, and $362.1M.

Justification

These efficiencies are the culmination of comprehensive evaluations of several components of the Coast Guard’s Mission Support Business Model 

and represent consolidation of functions and adjustments to how certain assets are supported. This initiative promotes efficiencies to service delivery 

and sustainment of the Coast Guard's fleet of boats and its execution of logistics compliance. The budget also includes personnel to transition the 

Long Range Surveillance (LRS) Product Line from contract support to a blended contracted and organic workforce. Transitioning to a partially 

organic workforce within the C-130 product line allows the Coast Guard to more effectively meet mission requirements while repurposing resources 

to DHS and Coast Guard strategic priorities.

Performance

This initiative is expected to improve overall service delivery to our surface and aviation fleets to ensure operational readiness. A blend of contractors 

and organic personnel will align LRS with the other product lines, and will help stabilize the workforce, grow and retain expertise, and gain 

efficiencies by balancing work as contracts are negotiated.

Program Change 24 – National Security Cutter (NSC) Follow-On:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 43 positions, 24 FTE, and $37.9M, funding the operations and maintenance of the ninth NSC; shoreside support personnel in Charleston, South Carolina; support for the tactical cryptologic and C4IT systems on NSCs; and Small Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems (sUAS) deployments on NSCs. The base for this program is 199 positions, 110 FTE, and $14.4M.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 36

Justification

The NSC is replacing the legacy WHEC, which is beyond its designed service life. This request begins funding operation and maintenance of newly 

produced NSCs. The Budget includes C4ISR depot support personnel and waterfront support personnel to support base operations in Charleston, 

South Carolina. It also includes increased funding to operate the tactical cryptologic systems on NSCs 1-8. Finally, this request supports funding for 

contracted sUAS operations, spare parts, logistics management, and equipment usage. Contracted personnel and equipment will deploy aboard NSCs 

to perform flight and maintenance duties in support of Coast Guard operations. 

Performance

The NSC is more capable than the WHEC with advanced electronics, cryptological, communications, and operational capabilities. This funding 

improves and expands the Coast Guard’s capability to secure the U.S. border and approaches, disrupt and dismantle TCOs and other illicit actors, 

prevent unlawful immigration, and enhance national preparedness. The Coast Guard has already demonstrated sUAS capability and operational 

successes on NSCs during testing in FY 2017-2018 and this initiative will expand that capability to the entire NSC fleet.

Program Change 25 – Oceania and INDOPACOM Operations:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 8 positions, 8 FTE, and $4.8M to support expanding operational requirements in the Pacific. 

Justification

The Coast Guard has an enduring and specialized role in the Indo-Pacific, particularly Oceania, to preserve the free-flow of trade, protect 

international fish stocks, and maintain regional stability. The Coast Guard is uniquely situated to assist partner nations in upholding and asserting 

their own sovereignty, while protecting U.S. national interests. This investment facilitates annual deployments of a major Coast Guard cutter 

accompanied by Fast Response Cutters and doubles training team deployments, critical to building partner nations’ capacity to police their own 

waters. In addition, it expands the International Port Security Program’s efforts to improve regional port security, and it provides law enforcement 

personnel based in Guam to ensure compliance with international fisheries agreements and counter Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated (IUU) fishing. 

Performance

This initiative greatly enhances the Coast Guard’s ability to conduct operations in a strategically critical region, with a focus on building partner 

nation capacity, enhancing regional port security, countering IUU fishing, and improved coordination with allies and multilateral forums. IUU fishing 

has increased dramatically in recent years, with overfishing affecting more than 33% of fish stocks. By supporting partner nation maritime 

governance in regions prone to unsustainable fishing, the Coast Guard can reduce overfishing and support the whole of government approach 

outlined in the Maritime Security and Fisheries Enforcement Act. Annually, the Coast Guard exercises approximately 50% of its fisheries bilateral 

enforcement agreements with partner nations in regions prone to IUU fishing. The Coast Guard’s objective is to exercise each agreement at least 

once per year. This initiative provides the resources required to move closer toward that goal in Oceania. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 37 

Program Change 26 – Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Follow-On:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 52 positions, 31 FTE, and $6.2M. This funds personnel for a portion of the crew of the first Offshore 

Patrol Cutter (OPC) to be homeported in San Pedro, California, as well as shore-side personnel to develop operational doctrine and qualification 

standards for the new class of cutter and transition pre-commissioning detachments into operational crews. Also included are the initial personnel to 

staff the shore-side maintenance team to conduct vessel, electronics systems, and weapons maintenance. The FY 2021 Budget establishes a base for 

this program.

Justification 

The OPC is replacing the legacy Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC), which are beyond their designed service lives. This request begins funding 

crew and shore-side maintenance personnel for newly produced OPCs. 

Performance

The OPC is more capable than the WMEC with advanced electronics, communications, and operational capabilities. This funding improves and 

expands the Coast Guard’s capability to secure the U.S. border and approaches, disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations and other 

illicit actors, prevent unlawful immigration, and enhance national preparedness. 

Program Change 27 – Operational Mobility:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 1 position, 1 FTE, and $1.8M to support mobile capability for aviators and marine inspectors, and to 

initiate a blue force tracking system. The base for this program is $1.8M.

Justification 

This request moves towards standardization of independent mobile applications by providing a common enterprise hardware and software solution. 

Efforts include flight crews’ electronic flight bags, mobile marine inspector hardware devices, and an expanded blue force tracking pilot. Since its 

establishment in 2013, the Electronic Flight Bag program has become a key component of successful flight operations by providing pilots with 

important pre-flight planning and situational awareness information. The Marine Inspector tablet program was initiated in 2018 to improve marine 

inspector access to relevant regulations during inspections. The program has been extremely successful in improving the efficiency and effectiveness 

of the strained Marine Inspector program. The Team Awareness Kits program operates as a limited but successful blue force tracking pilot program 

that enables tracking of personnel and shore forces and improved communications during routine operations and contingency response (e.g. 

hurricanes). This initiative expands the pilot to a supported capability with a program manager.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 38 

Performance

This initiative enhances the effectiveness of the Electronic Flight Bag program by incorporating real-time access to weather and operational data. In

addition, it expands the Marine Inspector tablet program by over 15%, providing this valuable tool to additional inspectors. Expanding the Team 

Awareness Kit program will facilitate wider deployment of personnel tracking technology during disaster response, enhancing situational awareness

and response efforts. 

Program Change 28 – Optimize Boat Station Footprint:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a reduction of 37 positions, 25 FTE, and a net increase of $286,000 by closing five boat stations and reducing the 

readiness requirements for three additional stations. The base for the five boat stations is 37 positions, 37 FTE, and $5.1M.

Justification 

The Coast Guard’s existing force laydown was designed based on legacy response boats with different performance and capability compared to 

modern assets. In some cases, this operational footprint dates back over a century despite significant advances in search and rescue technology over 

that period. Through extensive examination of operational data and asset capabilities, the Coast Guard identified multiple points of redundancy in 

boat station coverage. The methods employed to identify these redundancies were scrutinized by GAO in the course of an audit and were fully 

validated. Further, GAO recommended that the Coast Guard close these redundant stations. The stations identified for closure are located in the First 

and Fifth Coast Guard Districts and provide redundant coverage, not including nearby air asset coverage. Based on this same analysis, the Coast 

Guard also identified three areas where there is no longer a need for two ready boats at a single station. Closing stations requires a one-time cost for

decommissioning and environmental mitigation.

Performance 

The five stations identified for closure provide redundant response coverage, so there will be no impact on Coast Guard operational capability in 

these areas. Additionally, aircraft from nearby Coast Guard air stations provide Search and Rescue coverage in addition to the already redundant boat 

stations. The stations identified for reduction of boats and crews currently provide two ready boats at all times. After this reduction, they will 

continue to maintain a 24/7 response posture with one ready boat, while retaining sufficient boats and crews to also conduct scheduled patrols. 

Program Change 29 – Overseas Contingency Operations to Base Transition:

Description 

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 334 positions, 277 FTE, and $215.0M to incorporate activities historically funded by Overseas 

Contingency Operations / Global War On Terror (OCO/GWOT) into the Coast Guard’s Operations and Support base. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 39 

Justification 

In prior years, funding for Coast Guard operations was included as a part of the Navy’s OCO/GWOT request. For FY 2021, the Coast Guard is 

transitioning all Overseas Contingency Operations activities into Operations and Support. This aligns with Administration policies and better 

represents the enduring nature of Coast Guard missions in support of contingency operations. For a detailed description of these activities and their 

associated funding levels, please refer to the Overseas Contingency Operations chapter. 

Performance

The Coast Guard will continue to provide operational support to DOD for Overseas Contingency Operations via deployed patrol vessels, law 

enforcement teams, and maritime counter-terrorism security operations. Investments in FY 2021 enhance the Coast Guard’s ability to support DOD 

by continuing the transition of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia from Island Class Patrol Boats to Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters that began in FY 

2020. 

Program Change 30 – Professional Services Efficiencies: 

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes a reduction of $19.5M through a reduction to professional services contracts across Coast Guard Headquarters. The 

base for non-technical professional services contracts across Coast Guard Headquarters is $195.2M. 

Justification 

This initiative is the culmination of a comprehensive evaluation of Coast Guard contract spending and represents targeted reductions to professional 

services contracts in order to focus resources on DHS and Coast Guard strategic priorities. 

Performance

This initiative minimizes impact to operations by only reducing contracts at Coast Guard Headquarters. Contract support for field units, as well as 

technical services, IT, and contingency response (e.g., hurricane response, DoD deployments) are excluded from this reduction. 

Program Change 31 – Reserve Readiness: 

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 8 positions, 4 FTE, and $683,000 for a pilot program to evaluate impacts on Port Security Unit (PSU) 

operational readiness to meet growing expeditionary commitments, support to DOD, and in-garrison training and support requirements. The increase 

establishes a base for this program. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 40

Justification

While PSUs undergo intensive tailored unit training immediately preceding an operational deployment, units not approaching a planned deployment 

struggle with maintaining readiness. PSUs are required to mobilize within 48 hours of notification, however current readiness levels do not allow 

PSUs to deploy rapidly to support contingency operations or National Security needs. This initiative increases the Active Duty complement at a PSU

to better support the Reserve forces that make up the majority of the unit. This is a pilot program based on the findings of the manpower requirements 

analysis and will allow the Coast Guard to evaluate impacts on operational readiness and determine the optimal active duty organizational structure 

to enhance the readiness of these Reserve units.

Performance

While PSUs have met mission requirements for deployments, the average qualification rate at a non-deployed PSU is currently 60 percent for both 

shoreside and waterside personnel, with three units below 40 percent. This has often required activation of reservists and individual augmentation by 

qualified members sourced from other units in order to meet the minimum requirements to deploy. This has supported minimum mission 

requirements in the short term, but it is not sustainable as a long-term solution. If the required level of support to qualify PSU personnel is not 

provided, the units will be unable to meet both emergent and planned deployment requirements. By adding additional Active Duty personnel to the 

PSU’s complement, this initiative is projected to improve qualification rates by improving training and improve unit readiness through more routine 

maintenance. If the pilot program proves successful at enhancing PSU readiness, it will be applied across all PSUs in the future.

Program Change 32 – Safe Homes Initiative:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 2 positions, 1 FTE, and $8.0M to address potential health and safety risks to Coast Guard members and

their families residing in Coast Guard-owned housing. The increase establishes a new program.

Justification

This investment supports an emergent effort launched in July 2019 to better understand and address potential health and safety risks to Coast Guard 

members and their families residing in Coast Guard-owned housing following the discovery of lead contaminants in three locations. More stringent 

EPA standards for lead residue which came into effect in January 2020, requiring the entire Coast Guard housing inventory constructed prior to 1979, 

including unaccompanied personnel housing and child development centers, to receive contracted State-certified assessments. This investment funds 

the assessment of 700 housing units, anticipated relocation costs for impacted families, mitigation activities, and two personnel at the Coast Guard’s 

Housing Asset Product Line at Civil Engineering Unit Oakland to manage the program.

Performance

By assessing and mitigating potential health and safety risks to Coast Guard members and their families, this initiative enhances the readiness of the 

Coast Guard workforce, positively impacting their ability to conduct operations.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 41

Program Change 33 – Shore Facility Follow-On:

Description

The FY 2021 Budget includes an increase of 4 positions, 3 FTE, and $3.1M for the operation and maintenance of recapitalized shore facilities 

scheduled for completion prior to and during 2021. This establishes a base for these locations.

The FY 2021 Budget provides the resources required to operate and maintain new and improved facilities completed under the following PC&I 

projects:

• HC-130J Facilities at Air Station Kodiak, Alaska;

• Fast Response Cutter Homeport Facilities at Sector Guam;

• National Security Cutter Homeport Facilities at Base Charleston, South Carolina.

Justification

The funding is critical to the proper life-cycle investment, sustainment, and O&M of real property necessary to support operational assets and service 

members. This funding request is necessary for energy, utility services, and routine repairs. The budget also includes funding for maintenance and 

repairs (e.g., preventive and emergency maintenance, scheduled inspections, etc.) anticipated throughout the life of each new Coast Guard facility.

Performance

Funding ensures the Coast Guard is able to maintain new facilities throughout their lifecycle, consistent with the Coast Guard’s plans to address its 

$1B infrastructure maintenance backlog and nearly $2B infrastructure recapitalization backlog.

Program Change 34 – Transition Air Station Borinquen:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes an increase of 6 positions, 3 FTE, and $29.2M to transition Air Station Borinquen, Puerto Rico, from MH-65 to MH60 helicopters. The base for this program is 62 positions, 62 FTE, and $16.4M.

Justification

This initiative will enhance Coast Guard capability in a critical border security region while improving the long-term readiness and viability of our 

rotary wing fleet. The majority of this request is one-time funding for an initial stock of spare parts required to operate and maintain the new aircraft; 

the annual recurring increase is only $1.1M. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG - O&S - 42

Performance

The MH-60 will improve border security mission effectiveness, law enforcement, counter TCO, and search and rescue missions over the MH-65 due 

to its greater capacity for people and equipment and its longer on-scene time. This is especially important in Air Station Borinquen’s Area of 

Responsibility, where the large swathes of ocean between islands limit options for refueling. With over twice the range and endurance of the MH-65, 

the MH-60 is ideally suited to operations in this region. With its increased range, the MH-60 will be able to reach and patrol international waterways 

and TCO threat vectors that are currently unreachable by MH-65s. In addition, two of the four MH-65s that will be removed from Air Station 

Borinquen will fill aircraft gaps at Air Stations Barbers Point and San Francisco. 

Program Change 35 – Travel Efficiencies:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes a reduction of $12.0M to certain categories of travel across the Coast Guard. The base for travel excluding PCS, 

hurricane response, and reimbursable expenditures is $115.2M.

Justification

This initiative is the culmination of a comprehensive evaluation of Coast Guard travel spending and represents targeted reductions to operational and 

other travel in order to focus resources on DHS and Coast Guard strategic priorities. 

Performance

This initiative minimizes impact to operations by excluding travel associated with military PCS, training, and contingency response (e.g., hurricanes, 

DoD deployments). Further, the improved analysis supported by this initiative will enhance the Service’s ability to plan for future operational travel 

costs.

PPA Level I Description 

The Military Pay and Allowances PPA funds expenses related to compensation and benefits for active duty military personnel. This PPA includes 

pay, allowances, employer’s share of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), Social Security credits, and other expenses associated with 

compensating military personnel. Costs related to compensation are calculated by using the Coast Guard’s Standard Personnel Cost (SPC) tables. 

These tables are updated annually and provide a detailed calculation for each position (e.g., rank/rate and location in the United States or outside of 

the country). Medical costs and PCS expenses are calculated based on actuarial factors and historic precedent. 

The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, maritime service. Active duty military personnel ensure the Service remains agile, 

adaptable, and ready to serve the Nation’s maritime interests across a range of dynamic operational environments. As members of one of the Nation’s 

five Armed Forces and the only military service within DHS, Coast Guard military personnel conduct missions that protect the public and U.S. 

interests in the Nation’s inland waters, ports, waterways, coastal regions, territorial seas, and on the high seas.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Military Pay: Military Pay and Allowances includes salary, benefits, and housing allowances for military personnel. The FTE change includes the 

annualization of FY 2020 initiatives and FY 2021 initiatives, including follow-on requirements for new assets delivered via the Coast Guard’s 

acquisition programs (e.g., FRC, OPC, and NSC) and increases in the cyber and marine safety workforces. The FTE change also reflects decreases 

due to efficiencies and planned decommissionings in FY 2021 (e.g., WHECs, WPBs, CBPs, and Stations). The rate increase was primarily a result of 

the FY 2020 military pay raise of 3.1%, the FY 2021 military pay raise of 3.0%, and an increase to military personnel basic allowance for housing 

(BAH).

Overseas Contingency Operations: Overseas Contingency Operations includes salary, benefits, and allowances for military personnel supporting 

contingency operations and formerly covered by Overseas Contingency Operations funding. This includes incremental personnel permanently 

assigned to the contingency, represented as FTE, as well as the mobilization costs for deployed Reservists, and the region-specific special pay and 

bonuses for deployed Active Duty personnel. Mobilization costs and special pay and bonuses are responsible for the high rate. More information is 

available in the Overseas Contingency Operations chapter.

Other Costs: This includes service expenses for military personnel, including reimbursable detail for Navy chaplains and special reimbursements for 

Auxiliarists.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers 

Military Health Care: The request is derived from actuarial projections of medical costs to support military personnel. This reflects cost changes 

that affect all FTE. The decrease is primarily driven by the FY 2021 military allowances reduction.

Permanent Change of Station: The budget is refined from historical analysis of costs associated with moving military personnel between duty 

stations. The decrease is primarily driven by the FY 2021 military allowances reduction.

Overseas Contingency Operations: Overseas Contingency Operations includes theater-specific medical costs for deployed and mobilized 

personnel. More information is available in the Overseas Contingency Operations chapter. 

Other Costs: The budget reflects miscellaneous military support costs, including leased housing and initial uniform clothing allotments for new 

recruits. The decrease is associated with the reduction to personnel not associated with contingency operations.

PPA Level I Description 

The Civilian Pay and Benefits PPA funds expenses related to compensation and entitlements for Federal civilian employees. The workforce is 

composed of General Schedule (GS) personnel, Administrative Law (AL) Judges, Senior Executive Service (SES) personnel, personnel whose 

salaries are Administratively Determined (AD) (e.g., Coast Guard Academy civilian faculty members), Wage Grade (WG) positions employed in 

industrial operations, and “Non-Ceiling” (NC) employees (e.g., cooperative education students, student aides, and Federal junior fellows). 

Civilian personnel are an integral part of the Coast Guard and vital to execution of its statutory missions. The Coast Guard continues to complement 

its military workforce by recruiting diverse, well-educated, and dedicated civilians needed to meet current and future demands.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Civilian Pay and Allowances: Civilian Pay and Allowances includes salary, benefits, awards, overtime, and other personnel compensation for 

civilian personnel. The FTE change reflects the annualization of FY 2020 initiatives and FY 2021 initiatives including acquisition support personnel, 

human capital investments, cybersecurity and IT infrastructure enhancements, contract insourcing, and Counter Transnational Criminal Organization 

(TCO) initiatives, and decreases due to efficiencies. The rate increase of civilian pay was driven by the need to fully fund the 2020 civilian pay raise 

(3.1%), the 2021 civilian pay raise (1.0%), the increase to civilian awards, and increases for Federal Employee Retirement System benefits (1.3% for 

most employees; 2.4% for law enforcement personnel).

Other Costs: This includes civilian special personal services payments and benefits to civilian personnel who incur a civilian salary reduction when 

activated by the Reserve component.

PPA Level I Description 

The Training and Recruiting PPA provides funding for the Coast Guard’s basic and advanced professional training and education programs. 

Additionally, it funds the O&M of the eight national Coast Guard training centers, nine regional training centers, the Coast Guard Academy, and 

Coast Guard recruiting centers and efforts.

Coast Guard Basic Training is responsible for up to 4,500 enlisted recruits and the Coast Guard Academy commissions 300 officers through various 

programs. In addition, advanced and specialized training is conducted for both enlisted and officers to ensure a ready workforce to meet mission 

needs.

The Training and Recruiting PPA includes essential funding to recruit and process Coast Guard applicants into the officer and enlisted corps. In 

addition, funding provides tuition, travel, and per diem for formal training and education performed by military service members and civilian 

personnel. It also provides resources to ensure the Coast Guard is recruiting a robust and diverse workforce. Through internal and external efficiency 

reviews and prioritization efforts, it ensures prudent allocation of resources for training and workforce preparation that enable the Coast Guard to 

execute its missions. 

The Coast Guard maintains a rigorous set of standards to ensure the validity and reliability of training and stewardship of training resources. In 

addition to the training provided by the Coast Guard, the funding also provides resources for opportunities provided through DHS and DOD training 

facilities, other Government agencies, and commercial providers. Training and education are conducted by dedicated resident staff in classroom

environments and through exportable training, correspondence courses, and/or computer-based training.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Training and Education: Funding supports formal training, including temporary duty entitlements (e.g., per diem) and travel costs for military and 

civilian personnel. The change is primarily driven by workforce readiness training initiatives for pilots, officer leadership, and cyber. The change also 

reflects both one-time and recurring training costs associated with bringing new assets (e.g., NSC, OPC, FRC) into service and transitioning Air 

Station Borinquen, including training requirements for the crews and support personnel. 

Recruiting and Training Centers: Funding supports the operating and maintenance expenses for Coast Guard training and recruiting centers. It also 

includes funding for tuition, formal training, and associated costs. The change is primarily driven by efficiencies in travel and professional services 

contracts. 

Overseas Contingency Operations: Overseas Contingency Operations includes theater-specific training, pre-deployment training, and other 

preparation for personnel deployed or mobilized in support of contingency operations. More information is available in the Overseas Contingency 

Operations chapter.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Overseas Contingency Operations: The budget funds theater-specific ammunition for units supporting contingency operations. More information is 

available in the Overseas Contingency Operations chapter. 

Working Capital Fund: Through FY 2020, the Coast Guard contributed to the DHS Working Capital Fund (WCF) for some centrally managed 

shared services. For FY 2021, DHS removed all activities from the WCF and permanently transferred funding, including out-year costs, to DHS 

MGMT.

Other Costs: The FY 2021 Budget funds centrally managed services provided to the entire Coast Guard, such as GSA rent (other than St. Elizabeths, 

which was historically paid out of the Working Capital Fund) and ammunition replenishment. The change is primarily driven by the termination of 

one-time increases in FY 2020 for Fishing Grants and the Coast Guard Museum.

PPA Level I Description 

The Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance PPA funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s vessels, aircraft, and shore 

facilities. This PPA also funds maintenance and support of enterprise IT software systems, enterprise communication/network services, standard 

workstations, the Coast Guard Data Network (CGOne), cybersecurity, satellite and data communications, and other Coast Guard-wide Command, 

Control, Communication, Computer, and Information Technology (C4IT) systems. The Coast Guard maintains its vessels, aircraft, shore 

infrastructure, and C4IT systems using a blend of organic maintenance and repair infrastructure, and contracted maintenance activities. 

A mature project planning and execution program exists within the Coast Guard to provide routine organizational level and depot level maintenance. 

Where expertise or infrastructure does not exist organically within the Service, the Coast Guard uses contracted resources to provide the requisite 

maintenance support.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Electronics Maintenance: The FY 2021 Budget funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s C4IT systems using a blend of 

organic maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by increases for cutter underway 

connectivity, operational mobility, information technology infrastructure readiness, cybersecurity, and follow-on funding for NSC, OPCs, and FRCs. 

The change also includes decreases associated with information technology insourcing, professional services and travel efficiencies, and 

annualization and termination of FY 2020 initiatives.

Aeronautical Depot Level Maintenance: The FY 2021 Budget supports the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s aircraft using a 

blend of organic maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by increases for the Air 

Station Borinquen transition and aviation readiness initiatives. The change also includes decreases for efficiencies in mission support and 

professional services contracts and termination of FY 2020 initiatives.

Vessel Depot Level Maintenance: The Budget funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s vessels using a blend of organic 

maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by increases for follow-on funding for 

NSC and FRCs. The change also includes decreases for professional services efficiencies and annualization and termination of FY 2020 initiatives. 

Civil/Ocean Engineering and Shore Facilities Depot Level Maintenance: The FY 2021 funding supports the Coast Guard’s depot level 

maintenance for the Service’s shore infrastructure using a blend of organic maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted maintenance 

activities. The change is primarily driven by increases for the Safe Homes Initiative and follow-on funding to maintain and operate recapitalized 

shore facilities in support of operational assets delivered in FY 2021. The change also includes decreases associated with optimizing the boat station 

footprint, professional services and travel efficiencies, and termination of FY 2020 initiatives.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Civilian Full-Time Support (FTS) Personnel: This cost driver funds all salary, benefits, overtime, and other personnel compensation for civilian 

personnel supporting the Reserve component. Increases include civilian pay and benefits, including the 2020 and 2021 civilian pay raises (3.1% and 

1.0%), required government contributions to FEGLI, FEHB, TSP, the FERS increase, and the awards increase. 

Military FTS Personnel: This cost driver funds all military salary, benefits, and housing allowances for FTS personnel supporting the Reserve 

component. The FTE increase reflects the addition of 6 personnel (3 FTE) for the administrative oversight of the Reserve workforce. Increases 

include the 2020 military pay raise of 3.1%, the 2021 military pay raise of 3.0%, and the increases for military benefits and allowances. 

Other Costs: This cost driver includes all military reserve drill pay and allowances. It also includes other costs such as pay differentials and benefits 

paid to former personnel. Increases are driven by annualizations of FY 2020 initiatives and pay raises for Reservists.

Pay Cost Drivers

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers

Civilian Total: The pay cost drivers for civilian personnel include all civilian pay and benefits, including required government contributions to 

FEGLI, FEHB, and TSP. Increases to these benefits increase pay driver costs for all civilian FTE. The rate increase of civilian pay was driven by the 

increase for the Federal Employee Retirement System benefits and incorporation of 2020 and 2021 civilian pay raises.

Military Total: The pay cost drivers for military personnel include all pay and allowances for military personnel. Increases include the 2020 military 

pay raise of 3.1%, the 2021 military pay raise of 3.0%, and the increases for military benefits and allowances.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers

Site Investigation / Remediation Activities (16 locations): Provides funding to perform site remediation work at locations to clean up hazardous 

substances and pollutants. Decreases to this cost driver reflect the completion of more costly site investigation/remediation projects and their 

transition to long-term site management. In addition, the decrease is largely driven by the one-time increase to EC&R in FY 2020 for a project in Port 

Clarence. See table below for additional information.

Long Term Management of Restoration Project Sites (23 locations): Provides funding to continue long-term management work at 16 locations 

where remediation activities work was completed. Increases to this cost driver support activities at additional locations and ongoing priorities. See 

table below for additional information.

Environmental Compliance Projects and Activities: Provides funding to support all environmental compliance and restoration projects and 

activities.

The table below provides a detailed listing of each planned FY 2021 EC&R project based on current information regarding prioritization of work. 

The list may be adjusted as information is discovered based upon the completion of assessments and project risk priority.

* The Coast Guard is transitioning to the Procurement, Construction, and Improvements appropriation in FY 2019 from the former Acquisitions, Construction, and Improvements appropriation. Funding amounts in this and all other tables are presented 

using the new budget structure.

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Procurement, Construction and Improvements (PC&I) appropriation provides for the acquisition, procurement, construction, 

rebuilding, and improvement of vessels, aircraft, shore facilities and military housing, aids to navigation systems and facilities, and command, 

control, communications and computer systems and related equipment. 

Funds appropriated for PC&I are managed by Coast Guard acquisition project managers who oversee these projects and apply best practices, in 

accordance with the Coast Guard’s Major Systems Acquisition Manual (MSAM), applicable Department of Homeland Security (DHS) management 

directives, and DHS’s Financial Management Policy Manual, to optimize the return on recapitalization investments. Through processes documented 

in the MSAM, acquisition managers follow a continuum of activities ranging from pre-acquisition concept development to deployment and 

sustainment. Activities and documentation produced throughout the acquisition lifecycle inform budget decisions and budget-related project 

activities.

The FY 2021 President’s Budget includes $1.6B for the following Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) within the PC&I appropriation: 

Vessels: $1.28B to continue modernization of the Coast Guard surface fleet through the acquisition of Polar Security Cutters (PSCs), Offshore Patrol 

Cutters (OPCs), and Fast Response Cutters (FRCs), among others; to provide for the service life extension of existing legacy cutters; and to procure 

boats to support cutter and shore operations.
U.S. Coast Guard Procurement, Construction, and Improvements

USCG – PC&I - 5

Aircraft: $153.6M to provide for the missionization of Medium Range Surveillance Aircraft; the sustainment and modernization the MH-60 and 

MH-65 rotary wing fleets; and the deployment of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems on National Security Cutters (NSCs).

Other Acquisition Programs: $56.3M to support Information Technology and Cyber modernization efforts, acquisition enterprise program 

management and oversight.

Shore Facilities: $146.7M to replace or repair critical shore infrastructure, including housing and family support facilities, waterfront and aviation 

facilities.

PPA Level I Description

The Vessels PPA provides funding to recapitalize and/or make capital improvements to Coast Guard cutters and boats. With many of the Coast 

Guard’s surface assets operating beyond their design service life, recapitalization and sustainment projects are critical to ensuring continued mission 

effectiveness and readiness of the fleet. The FY 2021 President’s Budget continues efforts that will lead to construction of the second Polar Security 

Cutter (PSC); funds construction of the third Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC); supports Survey and Design for emerging life-cycle event driven 

maintenance on cutters and boats; funds continued work towards recapitalizing the aging Inland River and Construction Tender fleets; and continues 

the National Security Cutter (NSC), Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Cutter Boats, and sustainment programs on schedule. The Coast Guard fleet of 

cutters and boats supported by this PPA collectively perform all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions in the offshore, coastal, and inland operational 

areas. 

The Coast Guard’s future fleet is replacing the aging High and Medium Endurance Cutters, Island Class Patrol Boats, Inland River and Construction 

Tenders, and legacy Heavy Polar Icebreakers. These modern assets will provide improved endurance, speed, sea-keeping, surveillance, icebreaking 

capabilities, and persistent presence in the offshore area of responsibility.

Survey and Design - Vessels and Boats N/A Non-Major Procurement Non-IT No $5,500 $2,500 $2,000

Investment Description

This investment primarily funds multi-year engineering survey and design work in direct support of emerging In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) 

projects, as well as activities associated with emerging acquisitions programs. Preliminary survey and design work is essential to properly plan and 

scope sustainment availabilities, such as Major Maintenance Availabilities (MMA), Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP), and Service Life 

Extension Projects (SLEP). As in-service vessels and boats continue to age, this program conducts detailed hull condition surveys, along with 

engineering design work useful in identifying and planning future projects. 

Justification

FY 2021 funding supports initiatives related to conducting a MMA on CGC HEALY (Medium Icebreaker), CGC MACKINAW (Great Lakes 

Icebreaker), the 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM), and the 154-foot Fast Response Cutters (FRC). CGC HEALY, commissioned in 1999,

serves as a platform for supporting missions primarily in the Arctic region, including search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, 

enforcement of laws and treaties, and Arctic research. CGC MACKINAW, commissioned in 2006, serves as the Coast Guard’s most capable 

icebreaking platform on the Great Lakes in addition to conducting maintenance of aids to navigation, law enforcement, search and rescue, and marine 

environmental protection. The 175-foot WLMs, commissioned 1996-2000, support maintenance of aids to navigation, law enforcement, ice 

operations, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection in areas that are otherwise inaccessible by other assets. The 154-foot FRCs, 

commissioned starting in 2012, are a key component of the Coast Guard’s recapitalized fleet, executing missions primarily in the coastal zone 

including search and rescue; migrant interdiction; living marine resource enforcement; drug interdiction; and ports, waterways and coastal security.

FY 2021 funds will be used to evaluate system suitability for possible future MMA sustainment projects, assessing potential options based on 

inspections of hull, mechanical, weapons, and electrical systems and subsystems.

Investment Description

This investment supports Service Life Extension Project (SLEP) efforts on the 47-foot Motor Life Boats (MLBs). 

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget includes funding to support program management activities and production efforts for the 47-foot MLB SLEP. The 

fleet of 47-foot MLBs, constructed from 1997 to 2003 and designed for a 25-year service life (2022-2028), have several critical systems becoming

obsolete and difficult to support. Engineering evaluations identified the propulsion system (engines, reduction gears, and the integrated control 

system) and a variety of mission-specific equipment, as requiring recapitalization. Repairs and updates to these systems and components will prevent 

loss of operational readiness, stabilize maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the MLBs by 20 years.

FY 2019 Key Milestone Events 

• Released the Request for Proposal (RFP) and awarded the 47-foot MLB SLEP contract.

• Continued detail engineering design and began production efforts on the first 47-foot MLB SLEP.

Investment Description

The ISVS program provides program management and logistics support for life-cycle event vessel repair availabilities including MMAs and SLEPs 

on existing Coast Guard vessels. The investments listed above include vessel availabilities completed at the Coast Guard Yard. This investment

supports SLEP efforts on the 140-foot Icebreaking Tugs and 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters. It also continues MMA efforts on the 225-foot 

Seagoing Buoy Tender fleet. 

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget includes funding to support program management activities and production efforts on the 270-foot Medium 

Endurance Cutter SLEP and 225-foot Seagoing Buoy Tender MMA. 

MMAs ensure in-service vessels continue to meet their design service life through the recapitalization of hull, mechanical, electrical (HM&E) and 

electronic systems that have been identified as the highest contributors to maintenance costs and operational availability degradation. SLEPs increase 

in-service vessel service life without significantly modifying capabilities. FY 2021 funding will support the following projects:

• 225-foot Ocean Going Buoy Tenders (WLBs): This class was placed in service in 1996 and was designed to meet a 30-year service life. 

Achieving that service life is predicated upon a mid-life availability to address obsolescence of select engineering systems. The ongoing WLB 
Vessels – PPA In-Service Vessel Sustainment

USCG – PC&I - 23

MMA includes a stability assessment; electrical load analysis; upgrades to the machinery control system, controllable pitch propeller system, and 

HVAC systems; topside preservation; overhauls of deck equipment and weight handling gear; and crew habitability updates to meet current 

standards. The MMA is planned for all 16 WLBs.

• 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters (WMECs): This class began entering service in 1983, was designed to meet a 30-year service life, and 

underwent a Mission Effectiveness Project to address operational readiness degradation. WMEC SLEP includes electrical system upgrades, 

remanufactured main diesel engines, structural renewal for stern tube and piping, and installation of a new gun weapon system supplied by the 

U.S. Navy.

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of National Security Cutters, including Post Delivery Activities (PDA) necessary to make these cutters ready 

for operations.

Justification

FY 2021 funding supports PDA for the eighth through eleventh NSCs, as well as class-wide activities that include Test and Evaluation, program 

execution and support, and program close-out support to ensure an adequate and complete basis of technical and logistical material and information 

for full transition to sustainment. PDA is critical to delivering a fully mission capable asset; examples include outfitting mission specific equipment 

and completing necessary testing and certifications.

These Legend Class NSCs are replacing the legacy High Endurance Cutters (WHECs), built between 1967 and 1972. Compared to WHECs, the 

NSCs provide increased endurance, intelligence, and maritime domain awareness capability in the offshore environment and better integration with 

Department of Defense operations. The NSC, along with the OPC, will comprise the Coast Guard’s offshore response capability for the next 40 

years, and is an essential element of DHS’s layered security posture. 

NSC missions are primarily focused on drug interdiction, fisheries enforcement, and defense readiness. NSCs also perform search and rescue; ports, 

waterways and coastal security; migrant interdiction; and serve as mobile command and control platforms for surge operations. Completion of the 

NSC program will improve long-term capacity and capability in the execution of long-range and extended Coast Guard mission assignments 

offshore.

Cutter Boats N/A Non-Major Procurement Non-IT No $5,000 $15,100 $3,800

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition, development and management of production, delivery and warranty support for multi-mission boats 

including cutter boats on NSCs, OPCs, FRCs, PSCs, legacy cutters, and support for in-service boat recapitalization. The boat acquisition program 

management office (PMO) provides centralized technical and acquisition support and expertise for both cutter boats and station response boats. 

Current active boat acquisition programs include Cutter Boat-Large (CB-L), Over-The-Horizon (OTH), Long Range Interceptor (LRI), Response 

Boat-Small (RB-S), and Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) Vessels.

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget funds PMO support, testing and evaluation, and the acquisition of OTH and LRI boats. The boat acquisition PMO 

ensures commonality across the operational community by supporting procurement of boats throughout the Coast Guard for use on newly acquired 

assets, as well as replacement boats for stations and in-service cutters. Given the expiration schedule of existing acquisition contracts in FY 2021, the 

PMO will initiate new contracts to develop the next generation of the OTH and LRI in order to align with cutter delivery schedules. 

The OTH is deployed on the NSC, FRC, legacy polar icebreakers, and WMEC, and will be the cutter boat for the OPC and PSC. The OTH is a 

single-engine, open-cabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) to deploy boarding parties to pursue and interdict 

targets of interest, and perform search and rescue operations. 

The LRI is deployed on the NSC. The LRI is a dual-engine, enclosed-cabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) 

with enhanced crew protection/comfort, greater storage capacity for longer duration missions, and increased capability for passenger and cargo 

transport.

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of three PSCs, including Post Delivery Activities (PDA) necessary to make these cutters ready for 

operations.

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget supports program management and production activities associated with the Detail Design and Construction 

contract. In April 2019, VT Halter Marine was awarded the Detail Design and Construction contract to produce up to three PSCs. These resources 

will support the following: purchase of LLTM and Government Furnished Equipment; program management office support; logistics planning; 

cyber-security planning; system integration test planning, C4ISR support, Project Resident Office support, Navy reimbursable technical support, and 

production.

To support national interests in the Polar Regions and provide assured surface presence in those ice-impacted waters, the Coast Guard is 

recapitalizing its heavy polar icebreaking fleet, which is over 40 years old. The Program is pursuing efficient, timely, and cost-effective solutions 

towards this objective to manage and limit acquisition risks, optimize operational effectiveness, and minimize life-cycle costs. 

In July 2016, the Coast Guard established an Integrated Program Office with the Navy to continue efforts to accelerate the construction timeline and 

leverage the expertise and best practices from shipbuilding programs in both services. Based on this collaboration and lessons learned by the Navy, 

the Program completed Industry Studies in 2018 to identify solutions to minimize cost, schedule, production, and technology risks. Industry Studies 

focused on leveraging industry perspectives, existing vessel designs, and use of mature technology, which informed the iterative development of the 

PSC system specification.

Waterways Commerce Cutter N024-000006386 1 Procurement Non-IT Yes $5,000 $2,500 $25,000

Investment Description

The WCC program will recapitalize the capabilities provided by the current fleet of inland tenders and barges commissioned between 1944 and 1990. 

The current fleet is comprised of 75-foot, 100-foot, and 160-foot Inland Construction Tenders; 65-foot and 100-foot Inland Buoy Tenders; and 65-

foot and 75-foot River Buoy Tenders that collectively average over 55 years in age. 

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget supports program management office activities to recapitalize this vital capability, including the potential for 

commercial services and alternative crewing options, as well as replacement alternatives.

The platforms that serve the Nation’s inland waterways and western rivers provide vital services to the Marine Transportation System, and have an 

important role in the movement of commerce by maintaining structures, beacons and buoys in the First, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Thirteenth and 

Seventeenth Coast Guard Districts. The commerce moved through U.S. waterways, including the 12,000 miles of inland waterways and western 

rivers, has a $5.4T economic impact on the Nation. Mariners and the shipping industry depend on fixed and floating Aids to Navigation to safely 

navigate these waters and prevent accidents that could have significant environmental and/or economic impacts. 

In addition to age concerns and the associated equipment obsolescence issues, the legacy fleet presents other sustainment challenges, including 

hazardous materials as a result of the use of asbestos and lead paint during construction of these over 55-year old assets. Outdated technology and 

vessel designs have led to crew safety concerns, maintenance cost increases, and non-compliance with environmental regulations. Finally, the 

vessels’ configuration does not allow the assignment of mixed gender crews in accordance with the Coast Guard’s workforce goals.

Investment Description

This investment supports a multi-year SLEP for POLAR STAR in order to maintain operations until two new PSCs are delivered.

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget funds program management activities, engineering and system prototypes, materials purchases, and production 

work to complete a SLEP on the CGC POLAR STAR, the Coast Guard’s only active heavy polar icebreaker. The Coast Guard’s two heavy polar 

icebreakers are over 40 years old and are well past their designed service life. The second vessel (POLAR SEA) in an inactive status serving to 

provide specialty parts to help sustain POLAR STAR. To ensure POLAR STAR can continue to meet and support national interests in the Polar 

Regions and provide assured surface presence in those ice-impacted waters, the Coast Guard needs to maintain POLAR STAR’s ability to perform 

these missions while recapitalizing the heavy polar icebreaking fleet. Accordingly, this SLEP is intended to extend POLAR STAR’s service life so 

that it remains operational until delivery of the second new PSC.

PPA Level I Description

The Aircraft PPA provides funding for recapitalization and sustainment of the Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.

The Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft supported within this program collectively performs all Coast Guard missions in the 

offshore, coastal, and inland areas of responsibility. The land-based fixed-wing aircraft include the HC-144, HC-130H/J and HC-27J aircraft. The 

Coast Guard’s fleet of HC-144s and HC-27Js provide medium-range surveillance (MRS) capability. The Coast Guard’s fleet of existing HC-130Hs 

and HC-130Js provide long-range surveillance (LRS) capability. Each of these fixed-wing aircraft enables the Coast Guard to conduct airborne 

surveillance, detection, classification, and identification of vessels and other aircraft. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of rotary-wing aircraft includes the MH-60 and MH-65 helicopters. The MH-60 is a medium-range recovery (MRR)

helicopter and the MH-65 is a short-range recovery (SRR) helicopter. Both aircraft are deployed from land-based air stations; the MH-65 is also 

deployed routinely aboard the Coast Guard’s fleet of NSCs, WHECs, and WMECs. Similarly, the Coast Guard will continue outfitting NSCs with

small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) to fulfill unmanned air surveillance capability requirements.

Long Range Command and Control Aircraft - - Procurement Non-IT - - $70,000 -

Investment Description

This investment supports the purchase of a new C-37 aircraft to ensure that the Coast Guard can continue to provide Long Range Command and 

Control Aircraft (LRCCA) capability.

Justification

The FY 2021 President’s Budget does not include additional funding in FY 2021 for this investment. FY 2020 funding is adequate to purchase a new 

C-37, install the Coast Guard specific communications and security equipment, and manage the procurement.

The Coast Guard has operated command and control aircraft for more than 65 years. The LRCCA capability provides Department of Homeland 

Security and Coast Guard senior officials’ continuous access to secure communications while traveling. The LRCCA’s secure communications allow 

senior officials to maintain situational awareness and exercise command and control, an essential capability during contingency response and 

National emergencies. The Coast Guard currently operates two C-37 aircraft, one is owned and the other is leased. The newly purchased C-37 will 

replace the leased aircraft, which provides the Coast Guard long term cost savings and operational flexibility. The C-37 is a commercially available 

long-range business jet that provides reliable and efficient transportation for 12 to 15 passengers. The Department of Defense, Department of Justice, 

and other Federal Agencies also operate C-37s, and the Coast Guard leverages this commonality to provide efficient maintenance and logistics 

support for the aircraft. 

FY 2019 Key Milestone Events

• Completed requirements documents validating the need to maintain the LRCCA capability.

FY 2020 Planned Key Milestone Events

• Release and award a contract to purchase a new C-37 with Coast Guard specific communications and security.

PPA Level I Description

The Other Acquisition Programs PPA includes funding to support initial acquisition, development, construction, or improvement of any end-use

system, hardware, software or equipment costing over $250,000. In FY 2021, funding will also support continued progress on build-out of 

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems; CG-Logistics Information 

Management System (CG-LIMS); and emerging Cyber and Enterprise Mission Platform projects. This PPA also provides funding for Program 

Oversight and Management (PO&M).

The Coast Guard leverages its C4ISR capability to effectively execute a broad mission set in immensely challenging operating environments. Assets

are able to receive, evaluate and act upon information obtained through the systems supported in this program. The C4ISR acquisition provides 

standardized capability to major cutters and aircraft, facilitating interoperability and information sharing inside and outside the Coast Guard. The CGLIMS acquisition replaces, modernizes and unifies redundant and obsolete logistics systems with a consolidated, centralized, and integrated IT

database system with enhanced configuration management, supply support, and improved financial accountability. The Cyber and Enterprise Mission 

Platform projects support replacement of the obsolete Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model (MSRAM) with a web-based application,

recapitalization of military satellite communications (MILSATCOM) capabilities at shore stations with the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), 

and transition to a network infrastructure that supports operations in a secure mobile environment. PO&M is critical for oversight and efficient 

execution of Coast Guard’s acquisition programs.

Cyber and EMP funding provides program management and logistics support for C5I capabilities spanning all Information Technology (IT) 

portfolios, including IT infrastructure, communications, cyber, navigation, and domain awareness. The following projects will be supported with FY 

2021 funding: 

Mobile User Objective System (MUOS): This project continues recapitalization of the 40 existing MILSATCOM Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 

communication capabilities on Coast Guard shore installations with MUOS. Concurrently, an effort is underway to recapitalize the aviation and 

afloat segments of MUOS through the Coast Guard’s Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation. The existing MILSATCOM is designed to

provide a reliable means of communication in theater, disaster areas, remote latitudes, etc.; permits consistent data exchange for maritime domain 

awareness and DHS law enforcement missions; and meets requirements for Department of Defense interoperability. The current capability is beyond 

end of life and is beginning to experience system degradation. The system will be non-functional by 2024 and will be replaced by MUOS. Any assets 

that do not have MUOS will lose this capability entirely. 

Mobility 2.0: This project builds the network infrastructure that supports the ability to operate in a secure mobile environment, and continues work on 

the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) application. Efforts will focus on infrastructure, hardware, and software to include 

development of a foundational platform that allows for follow-on ability to provide a secure, easy-to-use, and flexible capability to efficiently create 

mobile applications.

Construction Description

This investment supports major PC&I shore facility and housing construction, replacement, upgrade or improvement projects; construction and 

improvements to buoys and structures assisting navigation on Federal waterways; and survey and design required for future year PC&I shore 

projects. Shore facility infrastructure includes recapitalizations, modifications, upgrades, real property and land acquisitions, and new construction 

associated with execution of Coast Guard operations by cutters, boats, and aircraft, as well as shore forces, command and control, logistics, training, 

and personnel support. 

Justification

The FY 2021 Budget include $74.9M to support the following programs:

Project #1: NCR Air Defense – Aircraft Mission Support Facility Renovation – Joint Base Andrews, MD

Funding Requirement: $32.0M (estimated)

Description: The project renovates an existing hangar to establish a permanent facility in support of the United States Northern Command NCR 

Rotary Wing Air Intercept (RWAI) mission.

Justification: The USCG currently performs the RWAI mission using deployed crews and rotating aircraft from Air Station Atlantic City. 

Establishing a permanent support facility in the NCR for RWAI is the first step in a larger effort to consolidate that mission, which currently draws 

pilots and airframes from other operational units on a temporary basis. The consolidation effort is designed to focus the proficiency of the aircrews 

performing the RWAI mission while enhancing the operational readiness of our air stations by removing RWAI deployments from their required 

operational portfolio. In addition, this consolidation effort will facilitate additional aircraft deployments on cutters.

The Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution (MERHCFC) funds accrual of the Coast Guard’s military Medicare-eligible health 

benefit contribution to the Department of Defense (DOD) Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund. Contributions are for future Medicare-eligible 

retirees, as well as retiree dependents and their potential survivors. The authority for the Coast Guard to make this payment on an annual basis is 

provided in P.L. 108-375, the 2005 Defense Appropriations Act. The Coast Guard’s annual budget estimate is calculated by multiplying the projected 

average force strength by DOD actuary projected normal cost rates for active duty and reserve personnel. While this expenditure requires no annual 

action by Congress, it is scored as discretionary spending.

The Boat Safety program aims to minimize loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of 

recreational boats. The program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention Program by promoting the safe and enjoyable use of public 

U.S. waterways. 

Boat Safety activities include: overseeing manufacturer compliance with Coast Guard regulations; making grants to states and national non-profit 

boating safety organizations; conducting surveys to measure recreational boating activity; continuing the “Boat Responsibly” national outreach and 

awareness initiative; promulgating safety regulations; and measuring life jacket wear rates, including the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory 

efforts to increase life jacket usage. 

In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety Program Coordinator, the Coast Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee 

funding provided from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to support the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. Under the 

provisions of the Sportfishing and Recreational Boating Safety Act of 2005 (Subtitle A, Title X, P.L. 109-59), the Coast Guard receives a percentage 

distribution of total trust fund receipts from the preceding fiscal year (i.e., FY 2021 funding will be a percentage of FY 2020 trust fund receipts). The 

Funds are available until expended, but are limited in purpose and amount in accordance with existing statute.

Program Change 1 – Awards Spending Increase:

Description

The FY 2021 Request includes an increase of $28K for Awards Spending for civilian employees. The base for this program is $34K. 

Justification 

On July 12, 2019, OMB issued Memorandum 19-24 Guidance on Awards for Employees and Agency Workforce Funding Plan. This Memorandum 

directs agencies to review and update their current awards spending plans in order to: (1) support the strategic use of awards and recognition 

throughout the year; 2) address workforce challenges and recognize high performing employees; and 3) recognize those employees with talent 

critical to mission achievement. Consistent with this guidance, the FY 2021 Request increases awards spending to support strategic workforce 

development. 

Performance

The FY 2021 Budget supports the agency workforce planning requirements by providing a one percent increase for awards spending. The additional 

funding will help drive positive behavior by recognizing high performance.

The Maritime Oil Spill Program operates under the authority of Title I of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), as amended, which provides for the 

use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) to pay for Federal response to oil spills and claims for uncompensated removal costs and damages 

resulting from such spills. The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Marine Environment Protection mission and Maritime 

Response Program.

In Section seven of Executive Order 12777, the President delegated management responsibility of the OSLTF to the Secretary of the Department in 

which the Coast Guard is operating. Upon re-delegation by the Secretary, the Commandant of the Coast Guard delegated responsibility to the 

National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC), which oversees the OSLTF.

The NPFC:

• Provides funding for Federal removal actions in response to a discharge or a substantial threat of discharge of oil to navigable waters of the 

United States.

• Compensates claimants for OPA removal costs or damages.

• Provides funding to natural resource trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessments (NRDA). 

• Administers the OSLTF.

The Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) supplemental funds the Coast Guard’s contributions to the global fight against terror. Historically, this 

funding was requested by the U.S. Navy as a part of their OCO request, then appropriated directly to the Coast Guard’s Operations and Support 

(O&S) account. For Fiscal Year 2021, funding for the Coast Guard’s enduring overseas missions in support of the global fight against terror is

included in the Coast Guard’s O&S request. This chapter provides greater detail on the uses of this funding.

Coast Guard Active and Reserve components support military operations as part of the global fight against terror, including Operation Freedom's 

Sentinel, Operation Inherent Resolve, and related missions. Geographic operating regions include Afghanistan, Iraq and the Levant, the Horn of 

Africa, the Persian Gulf and Gulf Nations, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Philippines, and other countries on a case-by-case basis. 

The request includes pay, allowances, subsistence, and other personnel costs for Active and Reserve component service members supporting these 

activities. The request also includes funding for Reserve mobilization costs and special pay for deployed members including imminent danger pay, 

family separation allowance, hardship duty pay, and other special and incentive pays.

The request funds activities supporting Department of Defense (DOD) requirements for contingency missions including cutter operations; deployable 

teams; subsistence and logistics support; fuel and supply purchases; facility support; contract oversight; communications; maintenance; security 

cooperation; detainee operations (in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba); pre-deployment training; personal protective equipment; and intelligence, surveillance, 

and reconnaissance activities. These efforts are in addition to existing Coast Guard operations pursuant to its eleven statutory missions, which include 

Defense Operations separate from support to contingencies associated with OCO funding.

Coast Guard mission areas historically funded by OCO include: Patrol Forces Southwest Asia; detainee operations (Guantanamo Bay); and other 

support to Operation Freedom's Sentinel, Operation Inherent Resolve, and related missions (Horn of Africa Deployments, Operation Pacific EaglePhilippines Deployments, etc.).

Total Pricing Changes 132 75 $38,625

Program Change 1 – Fast Response Cutter Follow-On:

Description

The FY 2021 OCO includes an increase of 124 personnel and $14.2M. The request funds crews for four Fast Response Cutters as well as operations 

and maintenance for three Fast Response Cutters. 

• Fast Response Cutter Operations and Maintenance for Hulls 42, 45, and 46 to be homeported in Manama, Bahrain.

• Fast Response Cutter Crews for Hulls 45-48 to be homeported in Manama, Bahrain.

Justification

The Fast Response Cutter is the replacement for the 110-foot Island Class patrol boat that is past its designed service life. Congress has indicated 

strong support for the transition of PATFORSWA from 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats to 154-foot Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters in the 

FY 2018, FY 2019, and FY 2020 appropriations. This request funds operations and maintenance of newly-delivered Fast Response Cutters whose 

production was appropriated to support contingency operations. It also includes deployment-specific training.

Performance

The 154-foot Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutter is more capable than the 110-foot patrol boat with advanced electronics and enhanced operational 

capabilities. This funding improves and expands the Coast Guard’s capability to support United States Central Command and Operation Freedom’s 

Sentinel and replaces legacy cutters that have exceeded their service life.
U.S. Coast Guard Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)

USCG – OCO - 8

Program Change 2 – Fast Response Cutter Shoreside Support:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes an increase of 20 personnel, and $1.4M. The request funds shoreside support personnel necessary to support Fast 

Response Cutters in Manama, Bahrain. 

Justification

The transition of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia from 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats to 154-foot Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters requires 

additional shoreside support personnel to meet the maintenance requirements of the more advanced Fast Response Cutter. This represents the 

incremental need above existing shore support personnel at PATFORSWA.

Performance

The 154-foot Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutter is more capable than the 110-foot patrol boat with advanced electronics and enhanced operational 

capabilities, and requires more shoreside support than its predecessor.

Program Change 3 – Fast Response Cutter Transition:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes an increase of $22.2M. The request funds operationally-required modifications; specialized theater-specific equipment; 

in-theater supplies and support; and other requirements for the PATFORSWA transition to Fast Response Cutters.

Justification

PATFORSWA requires additional incremental funds to support the transition from 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats to 154-foot Sentinel Class Fast 

Response Cutters. These incremental costs include operationally-required modifications; specialized theater-specific equipment; supplies and 

support; transport of Fast Response Cutters to the theater of operations; theater-unique training munitions; and temporary mooring facilities. 

Performance

Modifications to Fast Response Cutters and existing infrastructure are necessary to meet mission requirements for support to U. S. Central Command 

and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.

Program Change 4 – Decommission Two Island Class Patrol Boats:

Description

The FY 2021 request includes a decrease of 12 personnel and an increase of $0.2M. The request reduces incremental personnel and operating costs 

associated with the decommissioning of two 110-foot Island Class patrol boats, and funds costs associated with demobilization and resetting 

decommissioned cutters to pre-war capability.
U.S. Coast Guard Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)

USCG – OCO - 9

Justification

The 110-foot patrol boat fleet is beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. In accordance with the 

Coast Guard’s patrol boat transition plan and the Congressionally-directed transition of Coast Guard patrol forces in the Arabian Gulf, two Patrol 

Boats supporting PATFORSWA will be decommissioned. Following these decommissionings, there will be four 110-foot patrol boats supporting 

PATFORSWA until the transition to Fast Response Cutters is complete.

Performance

This request will generate no adverse impact on mission performance, and no degradation of Coast Guard support to U. S. Central Command. The 

two 110-foot Island Class patrol boats being decommissioned will have been replaced by more capable Fast Response Cutters, which will be intheater and operational before the legacy patrol boats are decommissioned.

1 Prior appropriations for Coast Guard OCO did not include positions or FTE due to DOD OCO budget request processes. With resources for enduring operations moving to O&S, it is necessary to establish a proper baseline 

that captures the actual positions and FTE supporting these operations.

2 Prior to Fiscal Year 2021, the Navy requested OCO funding for the Coast Guard under a sub-activity entitled ‘Coast Guard Support’ and that finding was appropriated to the Coast Guard in the annual appropriation. The 

Navy characterized the entirety of the Coast Guard’s OCO funding as supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. 

This section provides additional descriptive detail on the missions that the Coast Guard conducts in support of the global fight against terror. The 

Coast Guard supports the two primary OCO-funded operations, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel and Operation Inherent Resolve. It conducts a number 

of missions within the OCO-funded theater of operations. In addition, the Coast Guard’s inherently multi-mission nature means that some units 

support multiple named operations or regions. 

Historically, the different OCO-funded missions conducted by the Coast Guard have been below the threshold at which the Department of Defense 

and the Navy track operations, and the entirety of the OCO funding requested for the Coast Guard was characterized as support to Operation 

Freedom’s Sentinel. 

This section describes in detail how the requested funds are projected to be used to meet DOD requirements for the global war on terrorism across 

four mission areas, in order to describe and explain the FY 2021 program change that moves these enduring overseas operations into the Coast 

Guard’s O&S appropriation. The cost drivers provided for each mission are based on projected force strength and anticipated operational needs and 

are used to illustrate how the program changes affect the O&S PPAs, and are illustrative only – the amounts described are already incorporated into 

the O&S PPAs within that account’s justification documents.

Operation Freedom’s Sentinel – Patrol Forces Southwest Asia

Mission Description

Patrol Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA) is the largest Coast Guard unit outside the United States. The unit was established in 2002 when U.S. 

Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) requested U.S. Coast Guard support for combat operations under Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). In 

2003, the Coast Guard deployed resources associated with PATFORSWA, including four 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats and associated support 

functions, to the Arabian Gulf. The four patrol boats were present in the Northern Arabian Gulf when OIF combat operations commenced in March 

2003. Based on the unit’s successes and effectiveness in supporting contingency operations, two additional 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats were 

deployed to the region in 2004. PATFORSWA and its patrol boats have continuously operated in the region since that time.

Today, these patrol boats and an advanced interdiction team directly support US Central Command’s Theater Security Cooperation, maritime 

security, and counter-piracy efforts in the Middle East with the unique capabilities and authorities that only the Coast Guard can provide. Coast

Guard patrol boats participate in approximately 40 Joint Exercises and Patrols annually with partner nations, including naval forces from the 

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and France. PATFORSWA brings 

unmatched expertise in Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) to the region. In 2010, a Maritime Engagement Team (MET) joined PATFORSWA

to actively train U.S. Navy, coalition, and partner nation personnel operating in the Arabian Gulf, facilitating seizures of illegal weapons and 

narcotics shipments. PATFORSWA is based at Naval Support Activity Bahrain and also operates a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Kuwait to 

provide logistics support to the patrol boats when operating in the Northern Arabian Gulf. 

Historically, PATFORSWA has supported OIF, Operation New Dawn, Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), Operation Enduring Freedom, and 

Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS). Today, PATFORSWA’s missions support U.S. Central Command and NAVCENT across several contingency 

operations, including OFS, OIR, and Operation Spartan Shield. In recent years, the U.S. Navy has categorized PATFORSWA as supporting OFS.

Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) provide increased operational range, enhanced sea keeping, superior command, control, communications, computer, 

intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, and a more capable stern-launched cutter boat, making them more effective than the 110-

foot Island Class Patrol Boats at meeting the military requirements of the region. Congress has appropriated funding for FRCs above the Coast 

Guard’s domestic program of record of 58, specifically to replace the 110-foot patrol boats operating in PATFORSWA, and the FY 2021 request 

supports the transition.

Explanation of Mission Cost Drivers

Military Pay and Allowances: Consistent with the military branches within the DOD, pay costs are based on deployment assumptions. In order to 

sustain current military operations, funding is requested to finance the incremental costs (i.e., pay, allowances, subsistence, and other personnel costs) 

for personnel deployed in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel. 

Special pays associated with support to contingency operations include Hardship Duty Pay (HDP), Special Duty Pay (SDP), and Family Separation 

Allowance (FSA). Deployed personnel also receive casualty and disability benefits including reimbursement of SGLI premiums. Allowances include 

non-pay personnel costs such as military Permanent Change of Station (PCS) and household goods storage entitlements.

The Coast Guard is different from the military branches within DOD in that Coast Guard units are designed for the day-to-day completion of the 

Service’s eleven statutory missions. For the Coast Guard to sustain enduring overseas contingency operations, additional personnel are required 

above the normal unit complement. This contingency increment represents positions and FTE added to the Coast Guard for the sole purpose of 

supporting the military requirements of the enduring contingency. PATFORSWA conducts its missions with a combination of these contingency 

increment personnel and deployments of existing units and personnel. 

PATFORSWA personnel include the crews and shoreside support of patrol boats supporting US Central Command missions, as well as the MET and 

FOB Kuwait. In FY 2021, the Coast Guard will be in the midst of transitioning this command from six legacy 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats to 

six 154-foot Fast Response Cutters specifically appropriated for this mission, resulting in a significantly higher average number of personnel in the 

theater of operations compared to previous years.

Training and Recruiting: Training costs reflect deployment-specific training and preparation for personnel deploying to PATFORSWA cutters and 

shoreside support responsibilities. This Pre-Deployment Training (PDT) is provided by the Coast Guard’s Special Missions Training Center (SMTC)

Expeditionary Branch to all PATFORSWA members deploying for a one year tour to the Arabian Gulf. PDT includes training on theater-specific 

requirements and equipment for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection, missions, and communications. 

Additional training costs in FY 2021 are associated with PATFORSWA’s transition to FRCs, which requires additional cutter crews and support 

personnel to complete PDT during the transition period.

Operating Funds and Unit Level Maintenance: Operating funds support the theater-specific activities of PATFORSWA’s patrol boats and 

shoreside support forces. This includes the transportation of materials, parts, and supplies, as well as personnel travel, to and from the theater of 

operations. Operating funds are used to outfit and equip units and personnel with theater-specific personal protective equipment to meet the force 

protection and mission requirements of the operating area. Operating funds also support facility support, critical communications equipment and 

services, and personnel lodging.

An important operating funds cost driver is fuel, supply, and maintenance costs associated with cutter support to contingency operations. Mission and 

theater requirements necessitate PATFORSWA cutters operate at a higher operational tempo and maintain a higher state of readiness compared to 

domestic cutters, driving a higher per-platform operating cost. These funds also facilitate cutter operations via port services in Bahrain and at FOB 

Kuwait. 

Operating funds are critical to fielding theater-specific operational capabilities including Theater Security Cooperation, VBSS training, and 

countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (cUAS). 

For FY 2021, additional costs associated with PATFORSWA’s transition to FRCs include FRC operating and unit maintenance costs, fuel for cutters 

transiting to the theater of operations, mission-specific requirements for the FRCs and their crews, as well as the shipment of FRC-specific unit level 

maintenance items and other supplies to the theater.

Centrally Managed Accounts: Funding within centrally managed accounts is used to replenish operationally-expended munitions in theater and to 

provide training ammunition for theater-specific training events. PATFORSWA cutters have different weapons and ammunition requirements 

compared to domestic cutters of the same class, and these funds support the incremental costs associated with these additional requirements.
Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) Patrol Forces Southwest Asia

USCG – OCO - 14

Munitions costs are higher in FY 2021 as new Fast Response Cutters are equipped with theater-specific operational and training ammunition. 

Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance: In addition to supporting cutter depot maintenance necessitated by the PATFORSWA cutters’ higher 

operational tempo, these funds support critical theater-specific communication, navigation, and situational awareness capabilities that enable the 

cutters to effectively conduct operations alongside U.S. Navy, coalition, and partner nation units. 

The high operational tempo and readiness requirements associated with PATFORSWA cutter operations require additional depot maintenance 

support. This includes more frequent maintenance availabilities and drydocks, as well as the need to stock additional parts within the theater to 

facilitate rapid repairs. These maintenance requirements also extend to cutter subsystems such as communications, sensors, and cutter boats. 

Effective operations in support of NAVCENT require robust and compatible communications systems. These include underway connectivity with 

sufficient bandwidth in a region where the Coast Guard does not otherwise operate, theater-specific secure communications capabilities, integrated 

operational logistics systems that facilitate interoperability with the U.S. Navy and partner nations, and cyber defense of in-theater networks. 

For FY 2021, additional costs associated with PATFORSWA’s transition to FRCs include theater-specific ‘warfighter’ modifications to the cutters, 

and the installation and support of theater-specific communications equipment. Transition costs also include procurement and shipment of additional 

FRC parts and equipment to the theater to facilitate readiness requirements and facility modifications necessary to accommodate FRCs.

Overseas Contingency Operations

Operation Freedom’s Sentinel – Guantanamo Bay Security

Mission Description

U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been involved in the Global War on Terrorism since 2002 as a holding location for detainees. 

Detainee operations, inherently tied to contingency operations, are funded with OCO. The Coast Guard has had an enduring role in providing force 

protection for Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay (JTF-GTMO), initially with Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs) and more recently with 

Port Security Units (PSUs). 

Today, PSUs provide around-the-clock anti-terrorism, force protection, and security along the coastline and Naval Station Guantanamo Bay’s 

defensive sea area, which extends three miles from the naval station’s shoreline. While detainee operations in support of the Global War on 

Terrorism are linked to several operations, in recent years, the U.S. Navy has categorized detainee operations at Guantanamo Bay as supporting OFS.

PSUs are reserve units whose entire operational concept is based on rapidly-deployable water and land-based force protection in close coordination 

with the Department of Defense, making them ideally suited to the mission in Guantanamo Bay. Each PSU operates six Transportable Port Security 

Boats (TPSBs), specially designed and equipped for the force protection mission. PSUs combine boat crews and shoreside teams to provide both 

waterborne security and point-protection to DOD assets. At sea, PSUs provide armed escorts to inbound Coast Guard cutters, Navy ships, and 

commercial vessels transiting to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. PSUs also escort authorized maritime traffic passing through the Naval Station

route to Cuba and enforce offshore security zones. On land, PSUs provide anti-terrorism defense protection to assets and personnel.

Under the current operational model, PSU deployments to Guantanamo Bay last nine months and are staggered to maintain a continuous counterterrorism and force protection presence. The Coast Guard’s eight PSUs support Guantanamo Bay security requirements on a rotational basis.

Explanation of Mission Cost Drivers

Military Pay and Allowances: Consistent with the military branches within the DOD, pay costs are based on mobilization assumptions. In order to 

sustain current military operations, funding is requested for military pay and entitlements (i.e., Basic Pay, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), 

retired pay accrual, social security contributions, and incentive pays) for Reserve members on active duty to provide essential military operational

support to Operation Freedom's Sentinel. 

In addition to base military pay and entitlements for mobilized Reserve personnel, special pays associated with support to contingency operations 

include HDP, SDP, and FSA. Deployed personnel also receive casualty and disability benefits including reimbursement of SGLI premiums. 

Coast Guard PSUs deploy to Guantanamo Bay with approximately 120 personnel. Due to required training before a deployment and demobilization 

after, multiple PSUs are often active at the same time. As a result, the average mobilized strength supporting this mission is approximately 180.

Training and Recruiting: Training costs reflect deployment-specific training and preparation for PSUs mobilizing to deploy to Guantanamo Bay 

provided by the Coast Guard’s SMTC, which is the Service’s largest unit conducting Deployable Specialized Forces and deployment training. SMTC 

training includes operationally-required skills, as well as the use of expeditionary equipment essential to PSU deployments. 

Operating Funds and Unit Level Maintenance: Operating funds support the theater-specific activities of PSUs deployed to Guantanamo Bay. This 

includes the transportation of materials and supplies, as well as personnel travel, to and from the theater of operations. Operating funds are used to 

outfit and equip PSU personnel with theater-specific personal protective equipment to meet the force protection and mission requirements of the 

operating area. 

Operating funds support fuel, supply, and maintenance costs of the PSU’s TPSBs when deployed. These funds also support theater-specific 

equipment, unit mobilization and demobilization, and repair of equipment when each PSU returns from deployment, ensuring the unit retains the 

capabilities needed to be deployment-ready.

PSU mobilization, demobilization, boat maintenance, and travel are the largest cost drivers for operating funds supporting this mission.

Centrally Managed Accounts: Funding within centrally managed accounts is used to replenish operationally-expended munitions and to provide 

training ammunition for training events specific to operations at JTF-GTMO. 

Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance: In addition to supporting TPSB depot maintenance, these funds support critical theater-specific 

communication, navigation, and situational awareness capabilities that enable the PSU to effectively conduct force protection activities alongside 

U.S. Marine Corps Security Forces and other DOD units. 

The readiness requirements associated with the critical anti-terrorism force protection mission in Guantanamo Bay necessitate additional depot 

maintenance support and parts stocks for TPSBs and other PSU expeditionary equipment. These funds are also used to procure and maintain mission 

and region-specific search and detection equipment, as well as radio and satellite communications systems compatible with DOD forces. 

Reserve Training: Due to their status as Reserve units, pre-deployment training required for PSUs deploying to Guantanamo Bay that is not 

facilitated by SMTC is funded from reserve training.

Operation Freedom’s Sentinel – Other Missions

Mission Description

In addition to deploying full units, the Coast Guard brings its unique capabilities and authorities to the Global War on Terror through deployable 

teams that augment DOD and partner nation resources. Two key examples of this are the Coast Guard Reserve personnel that mobilize and deploy as 

a part of U.S. Navy Coastal Riverine Squadrons (CRS) and the Advanced Interdiction Teams (AITs) from Coast Guard Maritime Safety Response 

Teams (MSRTs).

Coast Guard Reservists are embedded with Navy CRS, bringing the Coast Guard’s unique expertise and authorities to the CRS’ littoral maritime 

security operations. In the U.S. Central Command theater, CRS provide maritime force protection and anti-terrorism capabilities. Embedded Coast 

Guard personnel routinely deploy with their CRS units to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Gulf, and have been doing so since 2013. 

MSRTs and their AITs represent the Nation’s elite Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) capability, including conducting VBSS on vessels 

within non-compliant crews. AITs bring this capability by deploying aboard U.S. Navy warships for counter-piracy and anti-terrorism missions in the 

Arabian Gulf, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean. AITs often work alongside and train Navy VBSS teams aboard the ships on which they deploy. Under 

the current operational model, AIT deployments to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility last four months and are staggered to maintain a 

continuously available capability. 

Coast Guard AITs previously operated in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and now support its successor, OFS, as well as related missions in 

the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Gulf, and the Arabian Sea.

Operation Inherent Resolve and Other Missions

Mission Description

Operations in the vicinity of the Philippines are associated with OCO funding under Operation Inherent Resolve via Operation Pacific EaglePhilippines (OPE-P). On September 1, 2017, the Secretary of Defense designated OPE-P an overseas contingency operation. OPE-P is a

counterterrorism campaign conducted by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, in coordination with other U.S. Government agencies, to support the 

Philippine government and its military forces in their efforts to counter Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) affiliates and other priority violent 

extremist organizations in the Philippines.

The Coast Guard has a long history of supporting the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard as they strive to protect their nation’s waters. This has 

included the transfer of former U.S. Coast Guard High Endurance Cutters via Excess Defense Article transfer and numerous training exchanges. 

U. S. Coast Guard National Security Cutter (NSC) deployments in support of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command have enabled valuable professional 

exchanges with the Philippine Coast Guard, including training in maritime security and law enforcement. These capabilities are critical to the 

Philippine Coast Guard’s ability to counter violent extremist organizations.
