SUBJ: CG MODERNIZATION AND REDISTRIBUTION OF BILLETS TO THE FIELD
1. AS PART OF THE ONGOING CG MODERNIZATION EFFORT, I RECENTLY
APPROVED THE REALLOCATION OF 48 BILLETS FROM CG HEADQUARTERS TO FILL
CRITICAL NEEDS AT FIELD UNITS. THIS REDISTRIBUTION ALSO REPRESENTS
ANOTHER STEP IN THE COMMANDANTS VISION AND OUR ONGOING EFFORTS TO
FOCUS THE ENTIRE COAST GUARD ON MISSION EXECUTION AND MISSION
SUPPORT.
2. THE BILLETS WE ARE SENDING TO THE FIELD WILL BE USED TO ADDRESS
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED BY SECTOR COMMANDERS AND PROVIDE A
FIRST INSTALLMENT ON A MUTLI-YEAR EFFORT TO ENHANCE MARINE SAFETY
CAPACITY AND PERFORMANCE. THESE ADDITIONS, WHILE COMPRISING ONLY A
SMALL PART OF OVERALL SERVICE NEEDS, REPRESENT DELIBERATE PROGRESS
TOWARD ADDRESSING SECTOR MANNING REQUIREMENTS AND FULFILLING OUR
COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE MARINE SAFETY SERVICE DELIVERY.
3. SPECIFIC REPROGRAMMING LOCATIONS WILL BE ISSUED BY SEPCOR.
4. INTERNET RELEASE AUTHORIZED.
