Component Budget Overview

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Budget includes $13.5B; 52,995 positions; and 51,774 full-time equivalents (FTE) for the U.S. Coast Guard.

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. As 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. Marine Transportation 

System (MTS). 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 2024 Budget sustains readiness, resilience, and capability while building the Coast Guard of the future to ensure the Service has the assets, 

systems, infrastructure, and support needed to enhance the Nation’s interests in an increasingly complex and connected world. The FY 2024 Budget 

provides funding to bolster recruiting and medical services, sustain vital Information Technology (IT) capabilities, and enable the Coast Guard to

continue to recapitalize legacy assets and revitalize aging shore infrastructure. The FY 2024 Budget includes funding for all 11 statutory Coast Guard 

missions.

The FY 2024 Budget continues efforts for the Coast Guard’s two highest acquisition priorities, the Offshore Patrol Cutter and the Polar Security 

Cutter. The FY 2024 Budget also advances the Great Lakes Icebreaker acquisition – an asset that will ensure America’s continued economic 

prosperity on our domestic waterways. Additionally, the FY 2024 Budget provides funding for the purchase of a commercially available polar 

icebreaker, which is critical to increasing presence in the Arctic. 

The FY 2024 Budget provides resources for the Coast Guard to conduct today’s highest priority operations in support of National objectives. In FY 

2024, the Coast Guard will accept delivery of more capable, modernized assets, and the FY 2024 Budget provides the resources to operate and 

maintain these new assets including operations and maintenance funding for the second Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), crew for the first Waterways 

Commerce Cutter (WCC), operations, maintenance, and crew for the commercially available polar icebreaker, as well as operations, maintenance, 

crew, and mission support elements for four Fast Response Cutters (FRC). Additionally, the Budget provides operations, maintenance, and crew for 

four MH-60T helicopters, one HC-130J aircraft, and one HC-27J aircraft.

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. 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 2024 EC&R funding continues long term monitoring, begins or continues investigation/remediation site work, 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.

U.S. Coast Guard

Strategic Context

Component Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is one of the five armed forces of the United States and the only military organization within DHS. The Coast Guard protects the 

maritime economy and the environment, defends our maritime borders, and saves those in peril.

The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together programs with performance measures that gauge the delivery of results to our 

stakeholders. DHS has integrated a mission and mission support programmatic view into a significant portion of the Level 1 Program, Project, or Activities (PPAs) 

in the budget. 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. Mission support programs are those that are cross-cutting in nature and support multiple mission 

programs. Performance measures associated with USCG's mission programs are presented in two measure sets, strategic and management measures. Strategic 

measures communicate results delivered for our agency mission and are considered our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) 

measures. Additional supporting measures, known as management measures, are displayed to enhance connections to resource requests. The measure tables 

indicate new measures and those being retired, along with historical data if available.

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 Name: Fishing regulation compliance rate

Strategic Alignment: 2.2 : Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

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

Strategic Alignment: 2.2 : Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

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.

Measure Name: Migrant interdiction effectiveness in the maritime environment

Strategic Alignment: 2.1 : Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

Description: This measure reports the percent of detected undocumented migrants of all nationalities who were interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard 

and partners via maritime routes.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: 75.0% 75.0% 75.0% 75.0% 75.0% 75.0% 75.0%

Results: 72.0% 86.1% 77.3% 47.2% 56.6% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: There is currently a significant increase in migrant flow in the maritime environment. The U.S. Coast Guard and partners were not 

able to meet the 75.0% effectiveness rating in FY 2022 due to a 44% increase in known flow from FY 2021. Assets have been surged 

to address this increase, especially in the Caribbean where numerous Haitian Sail Freighters and Cuban rustics operate. Additional 

assets and resources led to more interdictions, but the increased flow of migrants overall led to a lower total interdiction effectiveness 

rate. 

Corrective Action: In FY 2022, the U.S. Coast Guard surge response resulted in 17% more interdictions from FY 2021. Continued focus and 

reallocation of U.S. Coast Guard assets and partners are focused on maintaining a persistent presence to interdict migrants in the 

maritime environment.

Management Measures

Measure Name: Number of undocumented migrants who attempt to enter the U.S. via maritime routes that are interdicted

Strategic Alignment: 2.1 : Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

Description: This measure is the total number of all undocumented migrants who are attempting to enter the U.S. by maritime means and who are 

interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies. The other agencies include Customs and Border Protection, 

and foreign entities partnering with the U.S. Coast Guard for migrant interdiction operations.

Results: 3,603 5,535 6,107 5,028 12,521 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: There is currently a significant increase in migrant flow in the maritime environment; it is expected this trend will continue into a 

significant portion of FY 2023, if not for its entirety. Assets have been surged to address this increase, especially in the Caribbean 

where numerous Haitian Sail Freighters and Cuban rustics have been operating. The additional assets have led to more Coast Guard 

interdictions.

Measure Name: Removal rate for cocaine by the U.S. Coast Guard from non-commercial vessels in maritime transit zone

Strategic Alignment: 2.1 : Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

Description: This measure reports the amount of cocaine removed plus the estimated amount jettisoned or destroyed during interdiction efforts by 

the U.S. Coast Guard on non-commercial vessels based on a three-year average annual maritime flow of cocaine. Removing cocaine 

from non-commercial vessels helps ensure effective maritime law enforcement and border control.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: 10.0% 10.0% 10.0% 10.0% 10.0% 7.5% 7.5%

Results: 7.3% 9.3% 7.4% 6.4% 5.4% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: In conjunction with considerations of total known flow, more accurate intelligence-based targeting is needed to allow Coast Guard 

assets to have a greater impact on cocaine removals. Coast Guard assets were not able to achieve the performance measure goal of 

10%. This is indicative of both an increase in total known flow resulting from improved intelligence networks, a decrease in the 

amount of actionable targeting received by surface assets, and a decrease in the number of surface assets due to reallocation to the 

migrant interdiction operations. The Coast Guard removed 152.3MT from approximately 2,846MT of known flow.

Corrective Action: The Coast Guard does not control cueing and targeting, and is unable to provide surface assets as scheduled due to the demands of the 

migrant interdiction operations. Continued risk-based resource allocations are being weighed in response to increasing Coast Guard 

mission demands.

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 Name: Number of breaches at high-risk maritime facilities

Strategic Alignment: 1.2 : Prevent and Disrupt Threats

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.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤235 ≤307 ≤307 ≤306 ≤310 ≤422 ≤421

Results: 320 331 320 373 499 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure reports the number of breaches of security incidents at facilities subject to MTSA where no Transportation Security 

Incident has occurred, but established security measures have been circumvented, eluded or violated. There were 142 breaches of 

security during Q4 FY 2022. This is a 21.4% increase from FY 2021 Q4 (117), and well above the historical Q4 mean (102.8). This 

measure has exceeded the annual target for FY 2022. The Coast Guard is aware of the trend of increasing breaches of security and 

continue working to understand causal factors and mitigating actions. The Coast Guard has also re-calculated out-year targets to 

account for the recent increases.

Corrective Action: The U.S. Coast Guard largely attributes the recent bump in Breaches of Security (BoS) to more attention to reporting requirements 

vice actual malicious breaches. Any occurrence at a facility counter to the USCG approved Facility Security Plan (FSP) triggers a 

breach of security report. The Coast Guard involvement with facility security officers shows higher level awareness for facility 

security and plan compliance. Thus, the measure trend likely indicates an increase in reported plan violations vice an increase in 

malicious breaches (there were no Transportation Security Incidents in FY 2022). The Coast Guard continues analysis to determine 

which reports resulted from malicious acts versus non-malicious violation reports. The Coast guard is also reviewing current 

guidance and data policy to ensure data entry and reporting from field units are accurate and meet reporting intent. Finally, the Coast 

Guard will continue to review FSPs, respond to reported incidents, and investigate malicious breaches to reduce the number of BoS.

Measure Name: Three-year average number of serious marine incidents

Strategic Alignment: 5.2 : Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure reports the three-year average number of Serious Marine Incidents as defined by 46 CFR 4.03-2, which include: death 

or injury requiring professional treatment beyond first aid, reportable property damage greater than $100,000, actual or constructive 

loss of certain vessels, discharge of oil of 10,000 gallons or more; or a discharge of a reportable quantity of a hazardous substance.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤698 ≤689 ≤644 ≤686 ≤685 ≤626 ≤612

Results: 705 748 612 605 522 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure reports the three-year average of serious marine incidents (SMIs) reported to the Coast Guard. An SMI includes death 

or injury requiring professional treatment beyond first aid, reportable property damage greater than $200,000, actual or constructive 

loss of certain vessels, discharge of oil of 10,000 gallons or more; or a discharge of a reportable quantity of a hazardous substance. 

There were 136 reported SMIs in Q4, well below FY 2021 Q4 (151) and the 5-year quarterly mean (155). Similarly, the 12-month 

total (489) remains historically low compared to previous years. The resulting three-year average of SMIs (522) is a 15.5% 

improvement over FY 2021 Q4. This low SMI average can likely be attributed to reduced maritime activity during the height of

COVID-19’s impacts in FY 2020-2021. These data are subject to change (typically increase) as data entry lag corrects. This has 

been re-targeted starting in FY 2023 to account for decreased results in recent quarters.

Management Measures

Measure Name: Annual Maritime Transportation Security Act Facility compliance rate with Transportation Worker Identification Credential regulations

Strategic Alignment: 2.2 : Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

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.

Explanation of Result: This measure is a proxy indicator for maritime security risk and provides insight into the level of adherence to TWIC requirements. 

In FY 2022, MTSA facilities receiving annual checks were 99.87% compliant with TWIC regulations. This is well above the 

established target of 99%.

Measure Name: Three-year average number of chemical discharge incidents in the maritime environment per 100 million short tons shipped

Strategic Alignment: 5.2 : Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure is an indicator of the U.S. Coast Guard Program's impact on chemical discharge incidents. It is a moving average of 

U.S. Coast Guard investigated chemical discharge incidents into navigable waters of the United States for the past 36 months, divided 

by the 3-year average annual foreign and domestic short tons (100 million) of chemical and chemical products shipped in U.S. waters.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤14.6 ≤14.5 ≤14.4 ≤7.9 ≤7.8 ≤7.8 ≤7.7

Results: 8.2 8.1 7.9 6.8 5.2 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure is an indicator of the U.S. Coast Guard’s impact on chemical discharge incidents. There were three reported chemical 

spill in FY 2022 Q4. This brings the 12-month total spills to nine. This total is slightly above FY 2021 Q4 (seven). This total 

contributes to a three-year average number of chemical discharge incidents for Q4 FY 2022 of 5.2 per 100 million short tons shipped, 

a 24.6% improvement over Q4 in FY 2021. Note: Data for the most recent quarter is likely to change as validation of reports are 

completed. Additionally, shipping data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is available 13 months after the end of a calendar 

year. The calculations for this result are projected based on CY 2020 data.

Description: 
U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

USCG - 7

This is a measure of the average annual number of reportable commercial mariner deaths and significant injuries over the past 12 

quarters. It is an indicator of the long-term performance impact of the Coast Guard's Maritime Prevention Program on commercial 

mariner fatalities and injuries.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤133 ≤132 ≤131 ≤131 ≤131 ≤110 ≤106

Results: 126 113 120 115 108 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure assesses the Coast Guard Prevention Program’s impact on commercial mariner safety. Commercial mariner deaths and 

significant injuries were lower in FY 2022 Q4 (just 18 total) than all but one of the previous 12 quarters. Quarterly totals have been 

consistently lower than the mean (28) which contributes to a similarly dropping 3-year average. This measure met the target for FY

2022 (108). Data for the most recent quarters are likely to change (likely further increase) as casualty report validations are 

completed. This measures out-year targets were recently updated, starting with FY 2023, to account for recent results.

Measure Name: Three-year average number of commercial passenger deaths and significant injuries

Strategic Alignment: 5.2 : Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This is a measure of the average annual number of reportable commercial passenger deaths and significant injuries over the past 12 

quarters. It is an indicator of the long-term performance impact of the Coast Guard's Maritime Prevention Program on commercial 

passenger fatalities and injuries.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤134 ≤132 ≤132 ≤127 ≤128 ≤115 ≤115

Results: 92 123 126 100 58 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure assesses the Coast Guard Prevention Program’s impact on commercial passenger safety. The three-year average 

number of commercial passenger deaths and significant injuries for FY 2022 Q4 (58) was a 43.1% improvement compared to FY

2021 Q4 (102). This measure met the established target for FY 2022 (≤ 128). One additional reason for the fall in this 3-year 

average is that the CONCEPTION disaster in FY 2019 Q4 is no longer included in the reporting period. Note: Data for the most 

recent quarters are likely to change (likely increase) as casualty report validations are completed. Additionally, this measure’s outyear targets were re-evaluated and updated starting in FY 2023.

Measure Name: Three-year average number of oil spills in the maritime environment per 100 million short tons shipped

Strategic Alignment: 5.2 : Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure is an indicator of the U.S. Coast Guard Prevention Program's impact on significant oil spills. It is a moving average of 

U.S. Coast Guard investigated oil spills greater than 100 gallons discharged into navigable waters of the United States for the past 36 

months, divided by the 3-year average annual foreign and domestic short tons (100 million) of oil and oil products shipped in U.S. 

waters.

Explanation of Result: This measure is an indicator of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Prevention Program impact on significant oil spills. There were 15 reported 

oil spills greater than 100 gallons in FY 2022 Q4. The 12-month total number of spills (50) is lower than any quarter in the last three 

years, down from a high of 96 spills in FY 2019. The resulting three-year average number of oil spills in the maritime environment 

for FY 2022 Q4 an 8% improvement from FY 2021 Q4 (7.9). Note: Data for the most recent quarter is likely to change as validation 

of reports are completed. Additionally, shipping data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is available 13 months after the end of

a calendar year. The calculations for this result are projected based on CY 2020 data.

Measure Name: Three-year average of recreational boating deaths

Strategic Alignment: 5.2 : Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure reports the three-year average of recreational boating deaths and removes the inclusion of injuries in the scope. Injuries 

tend to be larger in number but less meaningful in terms of reflecting meaningful maritime prevention efforts.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: ≤605 ≤602 ≤599 ≤624 ≤621 ≤678 ≤673

Results: 655 633 635 659 660 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure reports the number of recreational boating fatalities for the past 36 months and is an indicator of the long-term 

performance trend of the U.S. Coast Guard Prevention Program’s impact on recreational boating fatalities. There were 160 rec

boating deaths reported in FY 2022 Q4, a significant decrease from FY 2021 Q4 (242). This contributed to a 12-month total of 555 

and 3-year average of 660. The 3-year average result is a 2.9% improvement from FY 2021 Q4 (680). From late-FY 2020 through 

FY 2021, the Coast Guard saw higher rec boating activity/fatalities than usual, largely attributed to the COVID pandemic driving 

more, less experienced boaters to partake in recreational boating activities. This trend has since reversed, and the measure was retargeted starting in FY 2023 accounting for historical results. Note: Data for the most recent quarters are likely to increase as 

casualty report validations are completed.

Maritime Response: The Maritime Response program mitigates the consequences of marine casualties and disastrous events. The U.S. Coast Guard 

preparedness efforts ensure incident response and recovery resources are fully ready and capable to minimize impact of disasters to people, the environment, and 

the economy. The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Response program: Search and Rescue and Marine Environmental 

Protection.

Strategic Measures

End of FY 2022 met the target and is above the cumulative five year average for this measure in Q4 (81.18%). In Q4 of FY 2022, 

there were 1,617 lives saved out of the 1,935 that were at risk. Per the USCG SAR Addendum, this performance measure excludes 

cases involving greater than 10 lives at risk.

Management Measures

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

Strategic Alignment: 5.1 : Coordinate Federal Response to Incidents

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 1970s 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.

Results: 93.0% 94.0% 93.8% 94.5% 94.6% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: End of FY 2022 performance is below the target, but above the five year average for this measure (94.25%). There were 3,635 SAR 

cases with valid data for this measure. Of those, 3,411 had a response time of less than 2 hours. Of the 224 that had a response time 

in excess of 2 hours, 97 were noted as not delayed, meaning that the distance of the distressed party from CG assets made a 2-hour 

arrival impossible or the delay was intentional (Maritime Salvage & Assistance Policy required that CG waited for a third party).

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

Strategic Alignment: 1.2 : Prevent and Disrupt Threats

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, 
U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

USCG - 10

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.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: --- --- 42.0% 43.0% 40.0% 40.0% 40.0%

Results: --- --- 27.0% 32.0% 31.7% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: Total Risk Reduction is the percentage of Coast Guard (CG) addressable risk reduction achievable with unlimited resources through 

MSRO activities that is reduced each quarter recorded by the Risk-Based Maritime Security and Response Operations (RBMSRO) 

program. Both actual and CG-addressable risk reduction values are measured using the Risk Index Number (RIN), which equates 

relative expected loss from terrorism to an economic value. FY 2022 risk reduction of 31.7% missed the target of 40%. The target 

was missed primarily due to lack of resources coupled with competing mission demands. The primary way to improve this metric is 

conducting more MSRO activities. Since MSRO coordination efficiency is high (86.1%; FY 2022 target 80%), this means reporting 

units are using their resources efficiently and would require more resources to buy down additional risk.

Corrective Action: The program is discussing options to address risk reduction activities that are feasible within resource, personnel, and capability 

constraints. Limited options exist to further reduce risk given resource constraints and competing mission priorities. The Coast Guard 

may have to reevaluate achievable targets for this risk reduction measure in the Marine Transportation System.

Management Measures 

Measure Name: Percent of coordinated anti-terrorism activities contained in Port Tactical Activity Plans that were executed

Strategic Alignment: 1.2 : Prevent and Disrupt Threats

Description: This measure gauges the percent of all planned Maritime Security and Response Operations (MSRO) contained in the 37 Captain 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.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: --- --- 80.0% 80.0% 80.0% 80.0% 80.0%

Results: --- --- 87.0% 90.0% 86.1% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: Both actual and optimal risk reduction values are measured using the relative Risk Index Number (RIN), which equates relative

expected loss due to terrorist attacks to an economic value. The optimal value is the maximum risk reduction achievable given asset, 

time, and personnel constraints. FY 2022 MSRO performance exceeded the target by 6.1%. This was achieved by successful 

execution of quarterly RBMSRO tactical activity plans, which help field units effectively, allocate resources and perform optimal 

risk-reducing MSRO activities. The 4% decrease from FY 2021 reflects operational units’ competing mission demands to their 

MSRO plans.

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.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5%

Results: 97.1% 96.8% 96.5% 96.2% 96.3% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure represents the percentage of hours that short-range federal Aids to Navigation are available. The Aid Availability Rate 

(AAR) during Q4 FY 2022 is 96.17%, slightly down from 96.55% in Q3. The average AAR for the previous four quarters remained 

steady at 96.3%, which falls short of the mandated target for the year (97.5%). This measure has been below the established target 

since 2016, and is not likely to meet the target this year. Resource and funding constraints resulted in a backlog for aid maintenance 

and recapitalization. For example, 603 fixed aids have been discrepant for more than one year; of those, 432 are 1 to 3 years. 171 

aids are discrepant for more than three years. Major fixed aids, like ranges and structures, are most impacted and are the cause of 

declining AAR.

Corrective Action: Below target AAR is the result of a aging fixed ATON infrastructure. These constraints will continue to limit AAR, resulting in risk

accepted in the Marine Transportation System. USCG continues to make ATON modern and more efficient, helping mitigate said 

risk in the short-term.

Management Measures

Measure Name: Five-year average number of navigational accidents

Strategic Alignment: 2.2 : Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure evaluates the long-term trend of U.S. Coast Guard Waterways Management Program in preventing collisions, allisions 

(vessels striking fixed objects), and groundings.

U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

USCG - 12

This measure represents the percentage of time that Tier One Waterways in the Great Lakes and along the eastern seaboard are open 

to vessel transits during the icebreaking season (normally DEC-APR each year). Tier One waterways are the core connecting 

waterways of the Marine Transportation System. Due to geography and/or importance of cargo to public health and safety, these 

waterways are of the highest priority, as determined by the waterways managers at Coast Guard District Commands. Waterway 

closure data is provided in the end-of-season reports submitted from Districts to Coast Guard Headquarters. While District 5 and 

District 9 experienced Average ice season conditions and were able to keep their respective waterways open for more than 95.0% of 

the time, District 1 experienced a Severe season and achieved an availability of 91.3%. Ice thickness on the Hudson River triggered a 

pre-determined regulated navigation area which imposed a 3,000 horsepower restriction from 08 Feb-09 Mar. Even with the 

restriction in place, all mission objectives were met.

Measure Name: Percent of time high priority waterways in the Great Lakes and along the eastern seaboard are open during ice season

Strategic Alignment: 2.2 : Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure is the percent of time Tier One Waterways, in the Great Lakes and along the eastern seaboard, are open to vessel transits 

during the icebreaking season as a percentage of the total. Tier One Waterways are those connecting waterways of the Marine 

Transportation System that waterways managers at Coast Guard District commands determine are highest-priority due to geographical 

location or importance of cargo to public health and safety.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024

Targets: 95.0% 95.0% 95.0% 95.0% 95.0% 95.0% 95.0%

Results: 89.5% 97.1% 100.0% 96.9% 94.0% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure represents the percentage of time that Tier One Waterways in the Great Lakes and along the eastern seaboard are open to 

vessel transits during the icebreaking season (normally DEC-APR each year). Tier One waterways are the core connecting waterways 

of the Marine Transportation System. These waterways are of the highest priority, as determined by the waterways managers at Coast 

Guard District Commands. Waterway closure data is provided in the end-of-season reports submitted from Districts to Coast Guard 

Headquarters. While District 5 and District 9 experienced Average ice season conditions and were able to keep their respective 

waterways open for more than 95.0% of the time, District 1 experienced a Severe season and achieved an availability of 91.3%. Ice 

thickness on the Hudson River triggered a pre-determined regulated navigation area which imposed a 3,000 horsepower restriction 

from 08 Feb-09 Mar. Even with the restriction in place, all mission objectives were met.

Corrective Action: Not only did this performance measure barely fall short of its target (just 1 percentage point), two of the three Districts involved met 

their established 95% target. The single outlier, District 1, experienced a severe ice season requiring preventative restrictions; this 

preventative action caused the low availability, not a closure due to asset unavailability or other Coast Guard mission performance 

shortcoming. The largest obstacle to this mission continues to be environmental conditions, a factor outside Coast Guard control. This 

fact, paired with the Coast Guard’s ability to achieve mission objectives during a severe ice season, reinforce the importance of 

ongoing domestic icebreaking fleet recapitalization efforts.

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 2023 initiatives; annualization of the 2023 military pay increase of 4.6 percent; the 

2023 civilian pay increase of 4.6 percent; the 2024 military pay increase of 5.2 percent; the 2024 civilian pay increase of 5.2 percent; 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 (e.g., Shore Facilities, Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), 

Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC), MH-60T, HC-130J, HC-27J Aircraft); and the 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 abroad. The O&S budget also provides funding to bolster recruiting and medical services, sustain vital 

Information Technology capabilities, and enable the Coast Guard to continue to recapitalize legacy assets and revitalize aging shore infrastructure. 

The budget also includes the termination of one-time costs, annualization of prior-year initiative reductions, operational adjustments, and asset 

decommissionings.

Pricing Change 1 – Civilian Pay Raise Total: 

Base Activity Funding: Civilian pay funding in the Base and Annualizations totals $1.3B. 

Pricing Change Explanation: This pricing change represents the cost of the first three quarters of the calendar year 2024 5.2 percent civilian pay 

increase. It is calculated by adding the Annualization of Prior Year Pay Raise pricing change to the Base and Annualization amounts, and multiplying 

that total by three-fourths of the pay increase rate.

Pricing Change 2 – Annualization of Prior Year Pay Raise: 

Base Activity Funding: Civilian pay funding in the Base and Annualizations totals $1.3B. 

Pricing Change Explanation: This pricing change represents the cost of the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2023 4.6 percent civilian pay increase. 

It is calculated by identifying the cost of civilian pay funding in the Base and Annualizations, backing out the impact of the first three quarters of the 

calendar year 2023 pay increase, and then multiplying that amount by one-quarter of the civilian pay increase rate.

Pricing Change 3 – Military Pay Raise Total: 

Base Activity Funding: Military pay funding in the Base and Annualizations totals $3.0B.

Program Change 1 – Acquisition Support Personnel:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 1,172 1,027 $144,907

Program Change 32 18 $3,364

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 32 positions, 18 FTE, and $3.4M to increase the Coast Guard’s professional acquisition workforce. 

Justification

This increase is required to oversee and support acquisition programs, including those funded by both Procurement, Construction, & Improvement 

(PC&I) and O&S appropriations. The primary activities include program and financial management, systems integration, and planning and project 

execution. This increase funds compensation, benefits, and related costs for personnel who work on Coast Guard acquisitions to 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 the 52’ Heavy Weather Boat (SPC-HWX), Waterways 

Commerce Cutter (WCC), Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I), Information Technology (IT), Cutter 

Boats, and Aid to Navigation (ATON) Boats projects. It includes personnel needed to manage, execute, and conduct contract oversight duties at 

shipyard Project Resident Offices (PRO) and Resident Inspection Offices (RIO); Program Managers for boats that support cutter and ATON 

missions; contracting and procurement officers; and technical experts supporting development and integration of complex mission systems. 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, 

Clinger-Cohen 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 and production activities conducted by PROs and RIOs is necessary to build, deliver, inspect, and manage critical aspects of ship 

construction in support of national acquisition priorities such as the 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, and increased sustainment and 

operational costs for legacy assets.

Program Change 2 – Commercial Icebreaker Follow-On

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - - 

Program Change 168 84 $25,000 

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes 168 positions with 84 FTE and $25.0M. This funds the crew of a commercially available domestic polar icebreaker, as 

well as shore-side personnel to develop operational, maintenance, and logistics doctrine, create qualification standards, and transition the precommissioning detachment into an operational crew. Also included are the initial personnel to staff the shore-side maintenance team to conduct 

vessel and electronics systems maintenance. 

Justification

The Arctic is becoming more accessible due to climate change, and strategic competition is driving more actors to look to the Arctic for economic and geopolitical advantages. Changes in the operational environment due to receding ice and increased human activity have created additional demands for Coast 

Guard resources in the high latitudes. An increase in commercial and nation-state exploration for natural resources and the expansion of sea routes for 

maritime commerce have driven the desire for Arctic and non-Arctic nations to grow their capacity in the region. The purchase and modification of a 

commercially available domestic polar icebreaker represents an effective strategy to increase near-term presence in the Arctic until the Polar Security Cutter 

(PSC) fleet is operational and to add regional capacity in the long-term. This request begins funding crew, operation and maintenance, and shore-side 

maintenance personnel for a newly procured, commercially available polar icebreaker. 

Performance

The Coast Guard is actively pursuing recapitalization of its heavy polar icebreaker fleet. The new fleet of PSCs represents the Nation’s long-term solution 

for increased Arctic presence and will enable year-round U.S. access to the polar regions. The acquisition of a commercially available domestic polar 

icebreaker, once modified, will accelerate the Service’s presence and capability in the Arctic. This funding will expand the Nation’s polar icebreaker 

capacity and the Service’s ability to both facilitate access to and perform missions in this critical region.

USCG – O&S - 17

Description 

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 28 positions, 15 FTE, and $15.0M to advance the capabilities of the Coast Guard’s Office of Data and 

Analytics.

Justification

This initiative furthers data analytic technology development, improving how data is collected, analyzed, and leveraged to empower operations and 

best support the workforce by establishing the Service’s first data team. As the Service becomes increasingly connected, data-driven capabilities 

better inform decision making while helping operationalize data at scale. This request advances an integrated big data platform to transform how the 

Service uses data to conduct missions, serve the public, and steward resources. Funding also enables more robust collaboration with the Department 

of Defense (DoD) and interagency partners, leading to greater efficiencies and insights. 

Performance

This request directly addresses the Coast Guard’s need to deliver robust analytic capabilities to leverage the Service’s unique data as a strategic 

resource. Investing in the personnel and resources necessary for modernized capabilities will enable the Coast Guard to stay ahead of adversaries, 

better align with national security strategic priorities, bolster recruiting and retention efforts, sustain its workforce, and improve mission execution. 

Program Change 4 – Decommission HC-130Hs: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 130 130 $16,512

Program Change (130) (56) ($9,842)

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes a reduction of 130 positions, 56 FTE, and $9.8M to decommission four HC-130H aircraft located in Clearwater, 

Florida and the final HC-130H held in depot maintenance at Aviation Logistics Center Elizabeth City, NC. 

Justification 

The HC-130H is beyond its designed service life and is increasingly costly to operate and maintain. These decommissionings are necessary for the 

Coast Guard to continue the transition to the new, more capable HC-130J Long Range Surveillance Aircraft, as well as the HC-27J aircraft. These are 

the final five HC-130H aircraft in the Coast Guard’s fleet. 

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipate a decrease in mission performance from these decommissionings as the savings will be reinvested to support 

operations and maintenance of new HC-130J aircraft and HC-27J aircraft.

Program Change 5 – Decommission Island Class Patrol Boats (WPBs):

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 36 36 $2,802

Program Change (36) (18) ($1,651)

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes a reduction of 36 positions, 18 FTE, and $1.7M to decommission two 110-foot Island Class patrol boats (WPBs). 

Justification

The 110-foot patrol boat fleet is beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The decommissioning of 

two WPBs is consistent with the Coast Guard’s patrol boat transition plan. Following these decommissionings, there will be three 110-foot patrol 

boats remaining in the fleet.

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipant any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from the reduction. The 

two WPBs being decommissioned will be replaced by more capable Fast Response Cutters (FRCs). 

Program Change 6 – Decommission Reliance Class Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC):

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 88 88 $8,247

Program Change (88) (44) ($4,225)

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes a reduction of 88 positions, 44 FTE, and $4.2M for the decommissioning of one 210-foot Medium Endurance Cutter 

(WMEC).

Justification

The 210-foot Reliance Class fleet is well beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. 

Decommissioning one 210-foot Reliance Class WMEC is consistent with the Coast Guard’s major cutter transition plan to replace them with 

Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC). Following this decommissioning, there will be 26 WMECs remaining in the fleet. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 19

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipate any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from this 

decommissioning. The WMEC being decommissioned will be replaced by a more capable OPC. 

Program Change 7 – Decommission Six MH-65 Helicopters:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 97 97 $19,313

Program Change (97) (49) ($13,358)

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes a reduction of 97 positions, 49 FTE, and $13.4M to decommission six MH-65 rotary wing aircraft. 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s MH-65 aircraft are beyond their designed service lives and are increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The Coast Guard is the 

world’s largest operator of this airframe, which is no longer in production. Reducing the size of the Coast Guard’s largest aircraft fleet eases supply 

chain pressure and will improve readiness of the Service’s existing MH-65’s during the transition to a single MH-60T fleet that improves capabilities, 

effectiveness, and efficiency across all Coast Guard rotary wing aircraft missions. 

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipate any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from this 

decommissioning. The MH-65 aircraft are being replaced by more capable MH-60T aircraft, which are bolstered by a robust domestic supply chain. 

Program Change 8 – Enterprise IT Follow-On:

Justification

This request will provide funding to maintain the secure cloud-based enterprise collaboration system and backbone of the Coast Guard’s suite of 

unclassified software tools as prescribed by the President’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity by placing this capability in an 

Impact Level 5 (IL5) cloud environment. This request supports the modernization and sustainment of Rescue 21, the Coast Guard’s premier search 

and rescue system, by improving network infrastructure for 342 remote communications towers. Further, this request provides personnel and 

operations and maintenance funding to sustain C5I systems on board 14 Coast Guard cutters to mitigate the decline in system functionality, integrity, 

and capability.

Performance

Our Nation’s domestic and international interests require a Coast Guard with modern, reliable, and resilient C5I capabilities. This funding 

modernizes key components of the Coast Guard’s Technology Revolution, including critical systems that enable the Coast Guard to remain 

responsive to increasing demands on legacy systems, maintain operational readiness, and meet emergent National defense missions.

Program Change 10 – Financial Systems Modernization:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - $28,315

Program Change - - $2,300

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of $2.3M for sustainment of the Financial System Modernization Solution (FSMS). 

Justification

This funding provides for continued sustainment of the Coast Guard’s transition to the FSMS by providing funding for the life cycle costs of the 

Department of Homeland Security’s financial system. The Coast Guard transitioned from its legacy Core Accounting System (CAS) to the FSMS in 

FY 2022. Continued operation of the system is critical to supporting Coast Guard operations, paying member entitlements, and paying contracting 

invoices. 

Performance

Coast Guard operations depend on a reliable financial system that enables the timely and efficient distribution and use of funds to procure goods and 

services. This funding ensures the successful operation and sustainment of FSMS as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Financial System 

Modernization effort, and maintains access to historical financial and procurement data.

Program Change 11 – HC-130J Follow-On:

Program Change 33 25 $9,427

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 33 positions, 25 FTE, and $9.4M to fund crews and operations and support for the fourth HC-130J at 

Air Station Barbers Point in Kapolei, HI. 

Justification

In FY 2022, Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point was the third Air Station to transition from the HC-130H, to the more capable HC-130J aircraft. 

The Barbers Point airframe transition will be completed when the fourth and final HC-130J arrives in FY 2024. The HC-130J is replacing the legacy 

HC-130H, which are beyond their designed service lives. The transition from the HC-130H to HC-130J improves fixed wing aviation capabilities and 

effectiveness across all Coast Guard missions.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 22

Performance

The HC-130J is more capable than the HC-130H with sophisticated sensors, better fuel efficiency, and increased range, which is particularly valuable 

for aircraft stationed in Barbers Point that frequently deploy throughout the Indo-Pacific with minimal support facilities or refueling locations. 

Program Change 12 – HC-27J Follow-On:

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - - 

Program Change 38 19 $7,009

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 38 positions, 19 FTE, and $7.0M to fund the crew and operations and maintenance for a HC-27J 

airframe in Clearwater Florida.

Justification

This request includes funding for pilot training, liquid oxygen, and support personnel. The HC-27J will replace the HC-130H aircraft at Coast Guard 

Air Station Clearwater in Florida, which are becoming increasingly expensive to operate and maintain. The range, endurance, speed, and payload of 

the HC-27J will make it a valuable asset in addressing the Coast Guard’s Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) flight-hour gap. 

Performance

The HC-27J has been integrated into the Coast Guard’s medium range surveillance aircraft fleet alongside the HC-144. The HC-27J aircraft are being 

operationalized to replace HC-130H long-range surveillance aircraft. This will be the tenth operational HC-27J aircraft in the Coast Guard’s fleet. 

This funding will directly support the Coast Guard’s capability to safeguard life at sea, secure the U.S. border and approaches, disrupt, and dismantle 

transnational criminal organizations and other illicit actors, and respond to contingencies.

U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 23

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 48 positions, 24 FTE, and $5.5M to provide additional medical staff on board each National Security 

Cutter and CGC Polar Star. These personnel will provide full-time medical services to cutter crews that are underway for extended periods of time in 

remote regions. Additionally, this request funds a shore-based deployable Coast Guard Health Services team. Given increasing demands for Coast 

Guard medical personnel, additional health services personnel are needed to support DHS and DoD contingency operations and missions, while 

providing enhanced medical care for Coast Guard personnel during steady-state operations. 

Justification

As Coast Guard assets continue to operate around the globe, the Service must have trained professionals ready to deliver medical services wherever 

and whenever needed. Additionally, the Coast Guard frequently supports DHS and DoD requests for forces by deploying shore-based health services 

staff. However, frequent and prolonged deployments adversely impact Coast Guard personnel given the Service’s limited organic medical capacity. 

Additional dedicated medical resources will ensure the Coast Guard has the necessary capacity to provide quality care for frontline operational 

personnel. 

Performance

Dedicated medical resources will significantly reduce the burden of deployments and allow health services staff to focus on their empaneled patients 

without the disruption of long unplanned deployments. Medically ready and healthy afloat and ashore personnel are more effective and better 

prepared to meet the demands of the Nation. 

Program Change 14 – MH-60T Follow-On:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 92 92 $49,700

Program Change 92 46 $21,065

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 92 positions, 46 FTE, and $21.0M to fund the personnel, training, and operations and support for three 

MH-60T helicopters in Ventura California and one MH-60T helicopter in Mobile, Alabama. Air Station Ventura will be the fourth MH-65 Air 

Station to convert to the more capable MH-60T as part of the MH-65 to MH-60 Fleet Transition. 

Justification

This request supports the Coast Guard’s transition of the MH-65 and MH-60 rotary-wing fleets to a single type airframe comprised of MH-60T 

helicopters. The rapid decline in readiness of the MH-65 fleet requires the Coast Guard to continue transitioning towards a single-airframe rotary 

wing fleet of all MH-60T helicopters. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 24

Performance

Transitioning to a single-airframe MH-60T fleet improves the Coast Guard’s aeronautical capability and mission effectiveness through greater range, 

endurance, and power-to-weight ratios over the MH-65. These advantages provide the opportunity to operate a smaller total helicopter fleet.

Program Change 15 – Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Follow-On:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 342 342 $38,342

Program Change - - $7,311

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of $7.3M to fund operations and maintenance for the second OPC. 

Justification

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

operations and maintenance funding for the second OPC, which will be homeported in San Pedro, CA. 

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 ability to secure the U.S. border and approaches; disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations and other 

illicit actors; prevent irregular immigration; and respond to contingencies.

Program Change 16 – Shore Facility Follow-On:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 62 62 $7,392

Program Change 10 5 $17,641

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 10 positions, 5 FTE, and $17.6M for the operation and maintenance of newly acquired or recapitalized 

shore facilities scheduled for completion prior to and during FY 2024.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 25

Justification

The FY 2024 request provides the resources to operate and maintain new and improved facilities completed at: 

• Sector North Carolina; Sector Charleston; Sector Jacksonville; Sector Key West

• Base Charleston; Base Kodiak; Base Ketchikan

This funding is critical to the proper life-cycle sustainment of shore facility infrastructure necessary to support operational assets, service members, 

and their families. This investment supports energy, utilities services, routine maintenance, and major 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 life-cycle and comply with environmental regulations resulting in 

an increased return on investment, and continued ability to address the Service’s shore facility recapitalization and deferred maintenance backlogs.

Program Change 17 – Software Follow-On:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 7 7 $6,000 

Program Change 33 19 $6,054 

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 33 positions, 19 FTE, and $6.1M to fund the rapid application development platform, newly developed 

mobile applications and telework capabilities, and sustainment of new enterprise applications. 

Justification

This funding supports the sustainment of rapid application development capability that is used to deploy mobile applications for marine inspectors, 

law enforcement officers, pollution investigators, recruiters, and other field operators across the Coast Guard. Funding will sustain recapitalized 

software and hardware and restore system capacity to transition to more sustainable and cyber-secure web-based applications. This request also 

provides personnel to support sustainment of new capabilities delivered by acquisitions programs, including logistics information management and 

command and control systems. Finally, this request sustains the Coast Guard’s increased tele-work capacity with dedicated personnel and contract 

services support. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 26

Performance

This request directly addresses the Coast Guard’s need to improve field mobility by modernizing and sustaining outdated software applications. The 

modernization of hardware, software, and IT systems provides the Coast Guard with increased capability to communicate and leverage data 

effectively. Resilient, reliable communications, applications, and enterprise IT systems are a key component of the Coast Guard’s Technology 

Revolution initiative to empower our workforce with reliable, mobile, and integrated technology. 

Program Change 18 – Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) Follow-On:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 9 9 $1,336

Program Change 19 10 $1,148

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 19 positions, 10 FTE, and $1.1M to fund crew for the first WCC, which will be homeported in Atlantic 

Beach, North Carolina. 

Justification

The current fleet of inland tenders have been in operation for an average of more than 55 years. The fleet is approaching obsolescence while 

maintenance costs are rising, and a majority of the inland tenders do not support mixed-gender berthing. The WCC’s will vastly improve the 

capability and reliably of the current inland tender fleet with a greater endurance, speed, and deck load capacity than their predecessors. The ships 

will also feature improved habitability and will accommodate mixed-gender crews. WCC personnel are required in advance of the ship’s delivery to 

facilitate pre-commissioning activities. Advance arrival of the crew is critical to ensure appropriate pre-arrival training is complete prior to cutter 

delivery. By properly resourcing the platform and crews, the WCCs will begin performing operations upon arrival to their assigned homeports. 

Performance

The WCC will support the Service’s aids to navigation (ATON) mission on the federal inland waterways, improving the safety and resiliency of the 

Nation’s Marine Transportation System (MTS). The MTS accounts for more than $5.4 trillion in annual U.S. economic activity and supports over 

30.8 million jobs. The WCC will be more capable than the current inland tender fleet with greater endurance, speed, and deck load capacity. 

Program Change 19 – WLB Crew Reconstitution:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 825 825 $102,076

Program Change 52 52 $6,894
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 27

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 52 positions, 52 FTE, and $6.9M to fund the personnel to reconstitute the crew following the 

completion of the final Juniper Class Seagoing Buoy Tender’s Major Maintenance Availability (MMA). 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s Juniper Class Seagoing Buoy Tender (WLB) began an extended, sequenced maintenance period in FY 2015 and will conclude in 

FY 2024. During the maintenance period, the Coast Guard temporarily disestablished a single WLB crew as a cutter was always in dry dock and 

crews swapped cutters as they entered and departed maintenance periods. The final WLB is scheduled to complete MMA in FY 2024 and these 

personnel will be needed to fully crew the WLB fleet. 

Performance

The Coast Guard requires the full complement of the WLB fleet to maintain the Nation’s ATON system. Mariners rely on these aids to safely 

navigate complex U.S. waterways, which promotes the safe and efficient flow of commerce throughout the MTS. Without this funding, the Coast 

Guard would be unable to provide a crew for one WLB leaving it unmanned and thus, non-operational. 

Program Change 20 – Workforce Recruiting and Accessions:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 545 545 $29,800 

Program Change 96 50 $11,978 

Description

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 96 positions, 50 FTE, and $12.0M to enhance recruiting capabilities and modernize academic 

governance within the Coast Guard. 

Justification

This initiative expands the Coast Guard’s recruiting program to meet accession needs driven by workforce growth and nationwide military recruiting 

shortages. Additional recruiting personnel and offices will improve recruiter-to-recruit ratios and expand the Service’s recruiting footprint with new 

locations to increase the throughput of qualified members into accession points and provide closer alignment with the DoD recruiting footprint. This 

request also supports the Coast Guard Academy’s ongoing efforts to modernize its delivery of academic curriculum to better reflect standards in 

higher education, increase oversight and accountability, and develop closer connections between field operations and classroom learning. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 28

Performance

The Coast Guard is approximately 4,800 members short across the entire workforce (active duty, reserve, civilian), and has missed its recruiting 

targets for the past four fiscal years. The Coast Guard’s ability to fill and overcome current vacancies is dependent on the ability to recruit personnel 

to ensure workforce readiness and increase mission effectiveness. Furthermore, academic modernization better aligns the Coast Guard Academy with 

other institutions of higher learning to ensure the Academy remains best suited to attract top-talent. 

Program Change 21 – Workforce - Support: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 92 92 $85,136 

Program Change 80 42 $15,453 

Description 

The FY 2024 Budget includes an increase of 80 positions, 42 FTE and $15.5M to enhance retention and support of the workforce through critical 

benefits and access to support resources. 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s most valuable resource is its people, and the Service must provide exceptional support to remain an employer of choice. This 

request provides funding and personnel to fulfill the changes to military justice procedures and staffing prescribed by the FY 2022 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA), increases chaplain support services, and continues the recapitalization of the Service’s training system to meet the 

demands of our technically skilled workforce. Further, this request provides key resources to bolster sea duty workforce retention by providing 

additional shore-side support services for the Coast Guard’s cutter fleet. 

Performance

The Coast Guard’s missions, and support for those missions, drive human capital requirements. The Coast Guard’s ability to fill and overcome 

current vacancies is dependent on the ability to retain and support personnel to ensure workforce readiness and increase mission effectiveness. The 

needs of the workforce are changing and the Service must adapt policies and support programs to ensure our personnel are ready to meet new mission 

demands and military justice requirements prescribed by the FY 2022 NDAA.

PPA Description

The Military Personnel program funds expenses related to Military Pay and Military Personnel Support. This PPA includes the compensation, 

benefits, and allowances of active duty and reserve military personnel who enable, execute, and support the Coast Guard’s missions as well as those 

programs, initiatives, and civilian personnel that support and sustain military personnel readiness. 

The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, maritime service. Through recruitment, education, training, and retention of talented 

military members and civilian personnel, 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 six Armed Forces and the only military service within the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS), Coast Guard 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 includes salary, benefits, and housing allowances for military personnel. The FTE includes the annualization of FY 2023 

initiatives and new FY 2024 initiatives, including follow-on requirements for new assets delivered via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (e.g. 

FRC, HC-130J, etc.) and increases in the mission support workforce. The FTE also reflects decreases due to efficiencies and planned 

decommissionings in FY 2024 (e.g., WPBs and 210’ WMEC). The rate increase is primarily the result of the FY 2023 military pay raise (4.6 percent) 

annualization, FY 2024 military pay raise (5.2 percent), and an increase to military personnel basic allowance for housing (BAH) in FY 2024. 

Civilian Personnel: This cost driver funds all salary, benefits, overtime, and other personnel compensation for civilian personnel, supporting the 

personnel readiness of the military workforce, including the Reserve component. The Civilian pay and benefits rate include the annualization of the 

FY 2023 civilian pay raise of 4.6 percent, the FY 2024 civilian pay raise of 5.2 percent, and required government contributions to FEGLI, FEHB, and 

TSP.

Military Full-Time Support (FTS) Personnel: This cost driver funds all military salary, benefits, and housing allowances for FTS personnel 

supporting the Reserve component. Increases include the annualization of the FY 2023 military pay raise of 4.6 percent, the FY 2024 military pay 

raise of 5.2 percent, and the increases for military benefits and allowances.

Reserve Pay and Allowances: This cost driver includes all military reserve drill pay and allowances, as well as differentials and benefits paid to 

former personnel. 

Other PC&B Costs: This cost driver includes special personal services payments and benefits and benefits to former personnel.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers 

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

FY 2024 that affect all FTE. 

Military Personnel Support: Funds the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program; recruitment and processing of 

Coast Guard applicants into the officer and enlisted corps; basic and advanced professional training and education programs; and the pay and benefits 

of civilian personnel directly supporting military personnel readiness. This reflects cost changes associated with both one-time and recurring training 

costs associated with bringing new personnel into service and changes for training, travel, and non-pay related costs necessary to sustain a ready and 

capable Reserve force.

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

stations.

Reserve Readiness Support: This cost driver includes funding for training, travel, and non-pay related costs necessary to sustain a ready and 

capable Reserve force. 

Other Costs: This reflects miscellaneous military support costs, including leased housing and initial uniform clothing allotments for new recruits.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers 

Civilian Personnel: This cost driver funds civilian pay and benefits, including required government contributions to FEGLI, FEHB, and TSP. The 

rate is driven by the incorporation of the FY 2023 and FY 2024 civilian pay raises. The Coast Guard was directed to submit the FY 2022 budget 

proposal in a new Common Appropriation Structure. The FY 2024 President’s Budget represents the first opportunity for the Coast Guard to submit a 

budget request utilizing lessons learned after executing funding for a full fiscal year in the new appropriations structure. In FY 2024, the decrease in 

this cost driver is driven by a technical adjustment to properly align personnel in the Common Appropriations Structure. 

Central Personnel Payments: This cost driver funds pay costs associated with transit benefits, workers’ compensation, and legal settlements. 

Other PC&B Costs: This cost driver includes special personal services payments and benefits for former personnel.

Explanation of Non Pay Cost Drivers 

Enterprise Management: Encompasses the capabilities and activities that coordinate policy, strategic planning, resources, managerial, and 

administrative actions needed to accomplish Coast Guard missions. In FY 2024, the increase is primarily driven by the Financial System 

Modernization enhancements.

Environmental Compliance and Restoration: 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. The Coast Guard was 

directed to submit the FY 2022 budget proposal in a new Common Appropriation Structure. The FY 2024 President’s Budget represents the first 

opportunity for the Coast Guard to submit a budget request utilizing lessons learned after executing funding for a full fiscal year in the new 

appropriations structure. In FY 2024, the decrease in this cost driver is driven by a technical adjustment to properly align personnel in the Common 

Appropriations Structure.

PPA Level II Description 

The Surface, Air, and Shore Operations PPA provides funds to operate and sustain the Coast Guard’s cutter and aviation fleet for employment in 

support of Coast Guard missions. Additionally, this PPA provides funds to operate and sustain the Coast Guard’s shore-based forces that oversee 

operations in the ports, waterways, and coastal regions of the U.S. and its territories. This PPA also supports the maintenance of all shore facilities 

that support operational assets. 

The Coast Guard’s maritime patrol forces consist of over 250 cutters homeported across 36 States and U.S. territories and six cutters forward 

deployed to U.S. Central Command, who conduct both prevention and response operations, including working aids to navigation and breaking ice to 

facilitate commerce, protecting natural resources within coastal and offshore areas, and stopping human trafficking and illicit drugs on the high seas. 

The Coast Guard’s cutter fleet is also a critical component of the U.S. National Fleet and provides unique capabilities across the competition 

continuum, from warfighting under DoD combatant commander operational control, to providing the Nation’s only icebreaking capability in the 

Polar Regions. This PPA also funds engineering, logistics, and maintenance, as well as spare parts, fuel, and other materials that contribute directly to 

mission effectiveness.

This PPA also funds the technical and logistical support for Coast Guard aviation systems and equipment as well as the life-cycle sustainment of the 

Coast Guard’s aviation enterprise to include fixed-wing, rotary, and unmanned aerial systems. The Coast Guard operates over 200 airframes that are 

dispersed amongst 32 facilities throughout the U.S. to provide aviation support to operations. Additionally, this PPA funds spare parts, fuel, and other 

materials that contribute directly to mission effectiveness.

The PPA also funds the Coast Guard’s shore-based forces, to include Sectors, multi-mission Boat Stations, Deployable Specialized Forces, and Area 

and District Offices. The funding supports the maintenance of boats, including service-life replacement and emergent purchases, as well as spare 

parts, fuel, and other consumed materials that contribute directly to mission effectiveness. This PPA supports the maintenance of all shore facilities 

that support operational assets.

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 2024 Budget includes $1.6B for the following Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) within the PC&I appropriation: 

Vessels: This PPA continues the modernization of the Coast Guard surface fleet through the acquisition of Polar Security Cutters (PSCs), Offshore 

Patrol Cutters (OPCs), a commercially available polar icebreaker, a Great Lakes Icebreaker (GLIB), and Waterways Commerce Cutters (WCCs); to 

provide for the service life extension of existing legacy cutters; and to procure boats to support cutter and shore operations.

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 designed service life, recapitalization and sustainment projects are critical to ensuring continued 

mission effectiveness and readiness of the fleet. The FY 2024 Budget progresses the acquisition of the Polar Security Cutter fleet; funds construction 

of the sixth Offshore Patrol Cutter; funds the procurement of a commercially available polar icebreaker; funds initial acquisition activities and begins 

to fund long lead time materials (LLTM) for a Great Lakes Icebreaker; funds continued work towards recapitalizing the aging Inland River and 

Construction Tender fleets; and continues the National Security Cutter, Fast Response 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, 

polar, and inland operational areas. 
Procurement, Construction, and Improvements Vessels – PPA

USCG – PC&I - 13

The Coast Guard’s future fleet is replacing the aging 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, seakeeping, surveillance, icebreaking capabilities, 

and persistent presence in the offshore area of responsibility. 

The following investments are included within the Vessels PPA:

In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS): The ISVS program provides for vessel repair availabilities including major maintenance availabilities

(MMA) and service life extension projects (SLEP) on existing Coast Guard vessels, including those completed at the Coast Guard Yard, as well as 

the SLEP of the 47-foot Motor Life Boat and the CGC Healy.

National Security Cutter (NSC): This investment supports the acquisition of NSCs, including Post Delivery Activities (PDA) necessary to make 

these cutters ready for operations.

Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC): This investment provides for the acquisition of OPCs, including PDA necessary to make these cutters ready for 

operations, to replace the Coast Guard’s fleet of Medium Endurance Cutters (WMECs), and bridge the capabilities of the NSC and Fast Response 

Cutter.

Fast Response Cutter (FRC): This investment supports the acquisition of FRCs, including PDA, to operate in the coastal zone and replace the Coast 

Guard’s fleet of 110-foot Island Class patrol boats.

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

cutter and shore-based boats including: shore response boats, cutter boats, aids-to-navigation boats, and project management support for in-service 

boat recapitalization.

Polar Security Cutter (PSC): This investment supports the acquisition of PSCs, including the PDA necessary to make these cutters ready for 

operations.

Commercially Available Polar Icebreaker: This investment supports the purchase of a commercially available polar icebreaker to enhance U.S. 

surface presence in the Polar Regions.

Great Lakes Icebreaker (GLIB): This investment supports the acquisition of a domestic heavy icebreaker to maintain waterborne commerce 

operating on the Great Lakes during the winter months.

Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC): This investment is to recapitalize the capabilities provided by the current fleet of inland tenders and barges 

commissioned between 1944 and 1990; including the PDA necessary to make these cutters ready for operations.

47-Foot MLB SLEP - - Procurement Non-IT No $28,000 $36,000 $43,000

Investment Description

The In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) investment supports Service Life Extension Project (SLEP) efforts on the 47-foot Motor Life Boats 

(MLBs), to extend the service life of 107 boats in the Coast Guard’s fleet of 117 MLBs by 20 years. 

Justification

FY 2024 funding supports 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 missionspecific 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 (2042-2048). The average 47-foot MLB SLEP evolution takes 

approximately eight months to complete, based on the condition of the boat.

Investment Description

The ISVS program provides program management and logistics support for vessel repair availabilities including MMAs and SLEPs on existing Coast 

Guard vessels. This investment includes vessel availabilities supported by the Coast Guard Yard. This investment supports SLEP efforts on the 270-

foot Medium Endurance Cutters and CGC Healy and preparations for future MMA efforts on the 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender fleet. 

Justification

The FY 2024 Budget includes funding to support program management activities and production efforts on the 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter 

SLEP, CGC Healy SLEP, and the 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender MMA. 

MMAs ensure in-service vessels continue to meet their designed 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 2024 funding will support the following projects: 

• 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. The SLEP is planned for six WMEC hulls following the completion of two prototypes. 

• CGC Healy: This cutter, commissioned in 1999, is the Nation’s only Medium Polar Icebreaker and serves as a platform for missions primarily in 

the Arctic region, including search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, enforcement of laws and treaties, and Arctic research. Funds 

will be used to evaluate system suitability for future sustainment projects, assessing potential options based on inspections of HM&E systems and 

subsystems. 

• 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLMs): This class commissioned from 1996-2000 and supports maintenance of aids to navigation, law 

enforcement, ice operations, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection in areas that are inaccessible by other assets. Funding 
Vessels - PPA In-Service Vessel Sustainment

N024_000006369 - National Security Cutter Level 1 Non-IT Yes $99,000 $60,000 $17,100

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

for operations. 

Justification

FY 2024 funding supports PDA for the tenth and 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 have replaced 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’s 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 contingency operations. Completion of 

the NSC program will improve long-term capacity and capability in the execution of long-range and extended Coast Guard missions offshore. 

FY 2022 Key Milestone Events 

• Christened and launched NSC #10. 

• Continue construction on NSC #11. 

FY 2023 Planned Key Milestone Events

Investment Description

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

shore-based boats including: shore response boats, cutter boats on NSCs, OPCs, FRCs, PSCs and legacy cutters; and program support for in-service 

boat recapitalization. Current active boat acquisition programs include; Over-The-Horizon (OTH), Long-Range Interceptor (LRI), Cutter Boat-Large 

(CB-L), Response Boat-Small (RB-S), Motor Life Boat (MLB) SLEP, Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) Vessels, and the Special Purpose 

Craft - Heavy Weather (SPC-HWX). The Program Management Office (PMO) and this investment also supports early acquisition work for 

replacement of the Trailered Aid to Navigation Boat (TANB) and the Aids to Navigation Boat – Large (ATON-L).

Justification

FY 2024 funding supports multiple boat acquisitions managed by the PMO. This includes development of acquisition documentation, contract 

development, test and evaluation planning and execution, in addition to the purchase of boats. Boat purchases are scheduled to support planned NSC, 

FRC, PSC and OPC deliveries. Other activity includes deliveries of MSRT boats, OTH V and LRI-III program development, OTH-IV and LRI-II 

closeout. Other programs supported by the Boat Acquisition PMO include programmatic and technical support for the CB-L and MLB SLEP 

programs in addition to early acquisition activity for the SPC-HWX, and Aids to Navigation Boat – Large (ATON-L) replacement programs. 

The OTH is deployed on the NSC, FRC, legacy polar icebreakers and WMEC’s 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 pursue and interdict targets of interest, deploy 

boarding parties 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. 

The ATON-L is a recapitalization effort for similar class vessels designed to construct and maintain Aids to Navigation from shore side facilities.

N024_000006440 - Commercially Available Polar Icebreaker Level 1 Non-IT Yes - - $125,000

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of a commercially available polar icebreaker, including modifications and integrated logistics support 

required to reach initial operating capability (IOC) for Coast Guard operations. This vessel will provide a platform capable of projecting U.S. 

sovereignty and influence while conducting Coast Guard statutory missions in the high latitudes. 

Justification

The FY 2024 Budget supports the purchase of a commercially available polar icebreaker, as well as funding for outfitting materials, spares, system 

stock, supply support, and other improvements necessary to make the vessel compliant with Coast Guard safety and security requirements. This 

funding improves and expands the Coast Guard’s polar icebreaker capacity and the Service’s ability to both facilitate access to and perform missions 

in this critical region. 

The Arctic is becoming more accessible due to climate change, and strategic competition is driving more nation-state actors to look to the Arctic for 

economic and geo-political advantages. Changes in the operational environment due to receding ice and increased human activity have created 

additional demands for Coast Guard resources in the high latitudes. An increase in commercial and state-sponsored exploration for natural resources, 

and the expansion of sea routes for maritime commerce, have increased the desire for Arctic and non-Arctic nations to grow their capacity in the 

region. The purchase and modification of a commercially available domestic polar icebreaker represents an effective interim strategy to increase 

near-term presence in the Arctic until the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) fleet is operational and to add regional capacity in the long-term.

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of a heavy domestic icebreaker (Great Lakes Icebreaker) to supplement the capability currently provided by 

CGC Mackinaw as part of an integrated system of assets and capabilities that perform domestic icebreaking.

Justification

The FY 2024 Budget supports the purchase of LLTM for a Great Lakes Icebreaker, as well as funding for programmatic support necessary to 

progress the acquisition. This funding improves and expands the Coast Guard’s domestic icebreaker capacity and the Service’s ability to both 

facilitate access to and perform missions in this critical region.

Executive Order 7521 of December 21, 1936, establishes the Coast Guard’s role in domestic icebreaking. The Coast Guard’s domestic icebreaking 

facilitates safe navigation in ice-covered waterways, provides exigent flood relief, and supports the movement of commerce on the Great Lakes, 

which totals more than 90 million tons of cargo annually. Coast Guard icebreakers, among other key Coast Guard operational assets, are integral to 

the Marine Transportation System and have an important role facilitating the movement of commerce by maintaining open shipping lanes during the 

winter months. The shipping industry, as well as regional and national economies, depend on the Coast Guard to promote safe navigation and prevent 

accidents.

FY 2022 Key Milestone Events

N024_000006386 - Waterways Commerce Cutter Level 1 Non-IT Yes $67,000 $77,000 $98,000

Investment Description

The Waterways Commerce Cutter (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 56 years in age. 

Justification

FY 2024 funding will support program management office, production, and production-related activities to recapitalize this vital capability.

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. The Aids to Navigation maintained by these assets ensure mariners and the shipping industry can 

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 stemming from the use of asbestos and lead paint during construction of these assets. Outdated technology and vessel designs 

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

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

FY 2022 Key Milestone Events 

• Continued project planning activities. 

• Developed Obtain phase documentation. 

• Awarded detail design and construction contract for River Buoy Tender and Inland Construction Tender (first articles).

Investment Description

This investment supports a multi-year SLEP for CGC Polar Star in order to maintain operations until the delivery of the PSC fleet. 

Justification

FY 2023 was the last year of funding request for CGC Polar Star SLEP. Funding from previous years supports 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 

operational 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 (CGC Polar Sea) is in an inactive status serving to provide specialty parts to help sustain CGC Polar Star. To ensure CGC 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 CGC Polar Star’s ability to perform these missions while recapitalizing the heavy polar icebreaking fleet. 

Accordingly, this SLEP is intended to extend CGC Polar Star’s service life so that it remains operational until the delivery of the PSC fleet.

FY 2022 Key Milestone Events 

• Continued detail design engineering. 

• Continued procurement activities for long lead time materials.

N024_000006383 - Survey and Design - Vessels, Boats, and 

Aircraft Non-Major Non-IT No $2,500 $4,500 $5,000

Investment Description

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

and aircraft Service Life Extension Projects (SLEP), 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 SLEP. As in-service vessels, boats and aircraft continue to age, this program conducts detailed hull/airframe 

condition surveys, along with engineering design work useful in identifying and planning future projects. 

Justification

FY 2024 funding supports initiatives related to conducting future SLEPS and MMAs on CGC Healy (a 420-foot Medium Icebreaker), the 175-foot 

Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM), the 418-foot National Security Cutter (WMSL), and the HC-144 Ocean Sentry Medium Range Surveillance aircraft: 

• 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. 

• The 175-foot WLMs, commissioned from 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 418-foot WMSLs, commissioned starting in 2008, are the centerpiece of the Coast Guard’s fleet, addressing the Coast Guard’s need for 

open-ocean patrol cutters capable of executing especially challenging operations, including supporting maritime homeland security and defense 

missions.

• The HC-144 fixed-wing aircraft fulfills the Coast Guard’s Medium Range Surveillance aircraft requirement and supports a wide-range of 

missions from search and rescue to oil-spill mapping and enables the service to increase maritime domain awareness. 

FY 2024 funds will be used to assess potential options based on inspections of hull, mechanical, weapons, and electrical systems and subsystems. 

Specifically, assessments will evaluate system suitability for possible future sustainment projects.

N024_000006394 - Program Oversight and Management Non-Major Non-IT No $20,000 $20,000 $21,000

Investment Description

This investment provides the Coast Guard with the overarching capability to protect the government's interests during acquisitions to ensure 

contractors and suppliers deliver required products and services meeting prescribed terms and conditions. The Coast Guard accomplishes this 

management and oversight through staff located within the Acquisition Directorate, at the Program Management Office, and at other 

contractor/government sites. Personnel working on Acquisition Directorate programs include a mix of military, civilian and contractors experienced 

in all phases of large, complex acquisition programs. The FY 2024 Budget funds the support and other activities that enable the government to 

provide oversight to the acquisition programs. Contractors, when used, perform specific, well-defined tasks that are not inherently governmental. 

Program Oversight and Management (PO&M) supports performance monitoring of all acquisition contracts across all programs. This is 

accomplished through a variety of tools such as the Earned Value Management System (EVMS), periodic reports to DHS and Congress, and use of 

the Acquisition Performance Management System (APMS) to monitor program and financial performance through the production of reports and 

metrics. EVMS permits the Coast Guard to closely follow cost and schedule performance of the programs, while the reports and data produced by 

APMS allow for periodic internal and external reviews of program cost, schedule, and performance criteria. 

Finally, Program Oversight and Management (PO&M) funding is used to ensure the Coast Guard is responsive to various Congressional, GAO and 

DHS-IG requests for information. This important function keeps these entities informed as they conduct appropriate oversight of Coast Guard 

Acquisitions and requires sufficient funding to ensure accurate information is provided to these organizations in a timely manner.

N/A - Cyber and Enterprise Mission Platform Non-Major IT No $46,500 $34,500 $25,300

Investment Description

This investment supports the Coast Guard’s Enterprise Mission Platform (EMP), delivering operational and mission support capabilities for 

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I). 

Justification

Cyber and EMP funding delivers C5I capabilities for enhanced operational success and mission support across the Coast Guard. The following 

projects will be supported with FY 2024 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 planned life and is beginning to experience system degradation. In accordance with updated termination guidance, the system will 

be non-functional by 2026 and will be replaced by MUOS. Any assets that do not have MUOS will lose this capability entirely. 

• Mobility 2.0: This project builds mobile applications and the network infrastructure that supports the ability to operate in a secure mobile 

environment. Efforts focus on infrastructure, hardware, and software to include development of a foundational platform that provides the ability 

to provide a secure, easy-to-use, and flexible capability to efficiently create mobile applications. Efforts also include changes to legacy 

applications to support and enhance usability of mobile operators to efficiently interact with legacy applications. 

• Next Generation Command and Control (NEXTGEN C2): This project replaces the Coast Guard common operating picture (COP) currently 

provided by the DoD’s Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) for both Unclassified and Classified COPs at afloat, aviation, and 

shore units. Efforts focus on the hardware, software, networks, and interface modifications required to develop and deploy an integrated, 

enterprise-wide COP capability in coordination with DoD and interagency partners. The DoD will decommission the legacy COP by FY 2025 
Other Acquisition Programs - PPA Cyber and Enterprise Mission Platform

USCG – PC&I - 100 

and intends to replace the capability with a modernized system. This project will commence efforts to incorporate Vessel Traffic System sensor 

data into the future COP. 

• IT Infrastructure and Application Modernization: This effort will significantly improve existing enterprise applications, or entirely replace 

antiquated applications with new, emerging capabilities, as well as provide for infrastructure improvements to support these modern systems. 

Funding will start to address the Coast Guard’s backlog of obsolete software applications that do not meet current customer requirements or 

cybersecurity standards. Work will target the applications that most greatly impact the Coast Guard’s ability to fulfill its statutory missions, such 

as systems for issuing merchant mariner credentials, case management, and law enforcement operations planning.

Shore Facilities and Aids to Navigation (AtoN) - PPA Major Shore, Housing, AtoN, Survey and Design

USCG – PC&I - 109 

Justification: The addition of cutter homeports, combined with activities of existing operational units, requires the buildout of an Industrial Support 

Facility at Base Charleston as there are no current facilities at this site designed for the purpose of housing facility engineering functions. The Coast 

Guard is committed to significant infrastructure investment to make Charleston a hub of surface operations on the East Coast capable of homeporting 

and supporting the personnel associated with multiple cutters. The increase in operational units requires additional capacity and capability to ensure 

the readiness of new assets and their crews. This project supports infrastructure requirements not directly funded through Major Acquisition Systems 

Infrastructure (MASI) or prior-year disaster supplemental appropriations. 

Impact: This project continues construction support activities for shore-side and waterfront infrastructure development required to enhance the 

current readiness of cutters and personnel assigned to Base Charleston, while building resilient infrastructure to support future homeports. The 

construction of the first Phase of the Base Charleston Industrial Support Facility will provide for facilities support, enable future expansion, and to 

support future cutter homeporting.

Funding Requirement: The FY 2024 Budget includes $42.0M to complete waterfront and shore-side improvements to homeport a FRC in Seward, 

AK.

Description: This homeport will accommodate infrastructure requirements for one FRC. The funding will support the design and construction of 

homeport facility additions, improvements, and renovations; improvements such as electrical and shore-tie upgrades; dredging to accommodate 

deeper drafts where necessary; structural improvements to the piers and wharfs to accommodate larger loads; relocation and/or incorporation of 

existing operational and support functions; and shore-side facilities for storage, maintenance, and other in-port activities associated with the arrival of 

the new FRC.

Justification: Seward, AK is part of the overall operational force lay-down and a new homeport location needs to be constructed in order to 

accommodate an FRC. FY 2019 funding was able to purchase land for this homeport. Due to project delays, real estate acquisition timelines, and cost 

escalation, FY 2024 funding is necessary to provide facilities to homeport a FRC in Seward, AK, which is currently homeported in Kodiak, AK, and 

provide the threshold facilities requirements based on FRC dimensions, shore-tie requirements, operational needs, crew compliments, and 

maintenance schedules.

Impact: The project provides required improvements to waterfront infrastructure to support the delivery and homeporting of FRCs.

Unmanned Systems $3,417 $4,131 $4,131

R&D Project Description

Unmanned Air, Surface, and Subsurface Systems (UxS) R&D projects evaluate and assess benefits and limitations of operating and countering 

unmanned systems to enhance Coast Guard mission effectiveness. 

• Problem: UxS is a dynamic, rapidly evolving technology with the potential to revolutionize Coast Guard operations. The technology requires 

continued evaluation and research to both effectively employ and effectively counter. The Coast Guard must fully understand the capabilities, 

risks, benefits, and limitations of operating UxS to safely employ and meet operational needs. This includes sensor development for maritime first 

responders; defeat of illicit unmanned aircraft systems’ (UAS) used in the maritime environment; and enhanced maritime domain awareness.

• Solution: Assess and evaluate UAS and unmanned maritime (surface/subsurface) vehicles (UMVs) across multiple field employment scenarios. 

These include enhanced surveillance missions; payload delivery systems; counter UxS technologies; and other UxS applications beyond 

traditional surveillance operations. Research will further evaluate autonomous capability in support of specific Coast Guard missions including 

expansion into polar operations, pollution detection, and search and rescue. The project will evaluate opportunities to integrate multiple UxS 

systems together with other existing technology to amplify their effect. Projects include research into Medium Range UAS Vertical Takeoff and 

Landing operations from a variety of Coast Guard platforms, land and vessel-based Detect and Avoid technologies, and persistent maritime 

domain awareness capabilities.

• Justification: UxS operations improve mission effectiveness and reduce risks to the workforce. The Coast Guard will continue to research and 

evaluate this technology noting consistently increased demand for this capability. The Coast Guard must also actively participate in counter UxS 

technology development within DHS and National Security requirements. Funding for this research project aligns with the 2020 National 

Academy of Sciences Leveraging Unmanned Systems for Coast Guard Missions Report and will be used to assess systems that counter illicit UxS 

systems, improve maritime domain awareness; and assess the benefits and limitations of maritime UxS for Coast Guard use.

• Impact: Improve operational performance, efficiency, mission execution, safety, and resiliency. Research efforts will maximize mission 

effectiveness to support Coast Guard operations.

USCG-R&D - 10

Type of Research

Applied Research through Technology Demonstration.

Technology Readiness Level

Efforts in this program range from TRL-4 to TRL-7. R&D UxS efforts typically start with a market survey of available commercial off the shelf 

(COTS) and government off the shelf (GOTS) technology that could be adapted for Coast Guard use. Identified technology is first prototyped and 

evaluated in a relevant environment (TRL-6) before being tested in an operational environment (TRL-7).

Transition Plans

Research will provide prototype demonstrations and knowledge products for Coast Guard decision makers including: recommended tactics, 

techniques, and procedures; policy, standards, or regulations; cost or risk avoidance; and pre-acquisition / future technology transfer considerations.

Polar Operations $88 $450 $450

R&D Project Description

The Polar Operations R&D project assesses several facets of operations in the Polar Regions including communications, spill response, vessel 

capability, and iceberg detection. 

• Problem: Given anticipated increases in maritime traffic through the Polar regions, the Coast Guard has a variety of emerging mission needs 

including: assessment of communications capabilities with the potential to improve mission performance; reliable navigational safety information 

to identify, assess, and mitigate navigational risks; technology to respond to maritime spills in ice-covered waters; polar climate impacts; and 

expanded assessment of polar operational capabilities. 

• Solution: Research innovative technologies to include maritime communication solutions for use in the Polar regions such as Next Generation 

Distress Alerting and alternative satellite connectivity options to amplify coverage for mariners and military operations. Additionally, assess and 

evaluate hazardous material spill response technology for ice environments, including solutions that improve detection capability for remote and 

low light environments. 

• Justification: The Coast Guard is expanding operations in the high latitudes to support the National strategic initiatives that seek to ensure the 

Polar regions remain peaceful, stable, and prosperous despite increased competition and vessel traffic in the region. Increased Coast Guard 

presence is critical to this strategy. Funding included for these research projects will test and evaluate the effectiveness and capability of 

technologies specific to Polar region operations that enable increased U.S. presence.

• Impact: Improved communication, navigational safety, and mariner safety in the polar environment.

Operational Performance Improvements and Modeling $806 $1,620 $1,620

R&D Project Description

The Operational Performance Improvements, Modeling, and Data Analytics R&D project enhances the Coast Guard’s modeling and simulation 

capabilities for improved analyses, tactical force package integration, and sensor performance. This project also examines opportunities to leverage 

existing technologies to support the Coast Guard in resisting cyber-attacks and to enhance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) 

tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED).

• Problem: The Coast Guard requires analytic competencies to support large scale force planning, improved sensor performance, and data 

repository and visualization systems. Options to improve field operations require enhanced evaluation of new technologies to capture and access 

operational data, and near real-time search and rescue patterns for response assets that will support effective mission execution. Coast Guard 

platforms and maritime systems also require resistance and resilience to cyber-attacks

• Solution: Develop enhancements to modeling capability for Coast Guard-wide asset allocation, force structure decision support, and navigational 

safety. Investigate applications of modeling and simulation to evaluate and improve Coast Guard mission analysis, crew efficiency, manpower 

requirements, information technology obsolescence, survivor modeling, and object search effectiveness. Research automatic detection systems 

for integration with existing Coast Guard sensor systems. Investigate technologies to improve overall mission efficiency such as cell phones to 

aid in search and rescue operations, including long range cellular/GPS beacons. Leverage DOD and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security 

Agency (CISA) technologies to evaluate existing cybersecurity tools for critical port infrastructure protection and resilience. Investigate enhanced 

intelligence collection technologies and new analytic techniques to improve ISR and TCPED capability.

• Justification: Funding included for this research program will enhance Coast Guard operational response through survivor modeling, reporting 

and statistics, and implementing machine learning to improve mission performance and support. Improvements in these areas will increase the 

efficiency and effectiveness of Coast Guard air and surface patrols. Funding will also be used to incorporate new sensor performance in the 

Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System, evaluate an autonomous surface-search sensor for manned aircraft, and assess drug and explosives 

detection technologies.

Space Based Operations - $775 $775

R&D Project Description

The Space-based Technology R&D project will develop space-based maritime domain awareness capability, evaluate the benefits of space-based 

technologies, and conduct research to prepare the Coast Guard to support additional commercial and governmental space flights.

• Problem: Coast Guard operations require effective maritime domain awareness to execute missions. This is especially important and challenging 

for Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Dark Fleet/Dark Vessel Tracking, Ice Operations, Pollution Monitoring, Cooperative Vessel Tracking, 

and Remote Communications. There are also additional Search and Rescue requirements presented by increased space flight activities. The Coast 

Guard requires the capability to independently investigate opportunities presented by emerging space-based technologies that are being pursued 

commercially and by other government agencies.

• Solution: Integrate space-based capabilities such as optical, radar, and Global Positioning System (GPS) with machine learning and data 

analytics to close maritime domain awareness performance gaps. Leverage existing and emerging space-based technologies to increase 

interagency collaboration, expand data sharing opportunities, and reduce costs. Assess and evaluate spaced-based technology efforts to include 

academic studies, cooperative R&D opportunities with commercial entities, and specific mission area return on investments. Conduct research on 

Automatic Identification System enhancements and resilience. Explore Very High Frequency (VHF) Data Exchange System to disseminate 

maritime safety information directly to mariners. Investigate navigation options in GPS degraded or denied environments; jamming and spoofing 

GPS signals creates risks for both navigators and to the $5.4 trillion Marine Transportation System.

• Justification: Space-based technologies have the potential to enhance communications and situational awareness systems and advance Coast 

Guard efforts in vital areas, such as the Indo-Pacific and Polar Regions. This promotes resiliency and redundancy to critical positioning services. 

• Impact: Improved space-based capabilities, providing maritime domain awareness enhancements and other efficiencies across Coast Guard 

missions.

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.

Explanation of Pay Cost Driver 

Retired Pay: The decrease is due to impacts of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2021, FY 2024 actuarial adjustments, and costs 

associated with the Blended Retirement System. 

The FY 2021 National Defense Authorization Act shifted the Coast Guard’s retiree benefits plan into the Department of Defense’s Military 

Retirement Fund, effective at the beginning of FY 2023. The Coast Guard’s participation in the Military Retirement Fund is similar to the Service’s 

current participation in the Department of Defense’s Medicare-Eligible Retiree Healthcare Fund. While expense projections remain dynamic, this 

change significantly drove down need for funding in the Coast Guard’s FY 2024 Retired Pay appropriation for two main reasons: 

• Historically, the Coast Guard paid the actual expense of Coast Guard retiree benefits. Beginning in FY 2023, the Coast Guard began 

contributing to the Military Retirement Fund based on the future retiree benefits of the Service’s current Active Duty and Reserve population. 

This recalculation fundamentally changed the Service’s annual contribution requirement. The Treasury Department assumed the historic 

expense liability and also makes annual contributions to the Fund. 

• The Military Retirement Fund is able to invest funding for future needs and therefore grows with the accrual of interest payments. 

Expense calculations used by all of the Armed Services to project future Retired Pay requirements include retired pay, retired medical, and Blended 

Retirement System benefits. Projections will continue to be refined as the full impacts of the Blended Retirement System develop and the population 

of retired personnel receiving legacy retired pay benefits declines. The required annual contribution to the Military Retirement Fund is determined by 

an independent, presidentially appointed, Department of Defense Retirement Board of Actuaries.

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 2024 funding will be a percentage of FY 2023 trust fund receipts). The 

funds are available until expended but are limited in purpose and amount in accordance with existing statute.

Component Budget Overview

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.
