About Us
The Engineering and Logistics Directorate (CG-4) develops, deploys and
maintains the resources necessary to sustain the capabilities to meet
operational requirements that support the Coast Guard's five fundamental
roles: Maritime Safety, Maritime Security, Maritime Mobility,
National Defense, and Protection of Natural Resources. To do this,
our professionals are responsible for engineering and logistics throughout
the Coast Guard. The Engineering and Logistics Directorate provide
technical, logistics and engineering support for all Coat Guard operating
programs (i.e., Search and Rescue, environmental, etc.). This includes
performing or assisting in planning, design, construction, acquisition,
renovation, maintenance, outfitting and alteration of cutters, boats,
aircraft, motor vehicles, aids to navigation and shore facilities.
Engineering, logistics, and maintenance responsibilities also include complete
life-cycle support; installation, operations, maintenance and ultimately
replacement.
The Engineering and Logistics Directorate is composed of 2083 people: 157
located in Coast Guard Headquarters and 1928 located at three Headquarters
Units (Aircraft Repair and Supply Center, Engineering Logistics Center and
Coast Guard Yard). The Directorate is responsible for managing an
annual budget of 1.2 billion dollars.
CG-4 is a diverse organization consisting of military and civilian
members from
many different backgrounds and disciplines. The Engineering and
Logistics Directorate has managers, engineers, environmental specialists,
scientist, logistician, technicians and Information Technology specialists
... all vital to our ability to do our job. From the Assistant Commandant
for Engineering and Logistics to the field technician repairing a piece of
mission critical equipment, the
Engineering and Logistics organization performs as a vital asset that enables the
Coast Guard to attain its strategic and performance goals.
The men and women of CG-4 ensure the Coast Guard's complex infrastructure
is "always ready" to provide the necessary capability to the operational community
