2025 COMMANDER'S INTENT	The Coast Guard provides enduring value in service to the American people. We are part of the Department of Homeland Security team protecting our nation and are at all times a military service and part of the joint force defending it. We are in greater demand now than ever before, and that is a credit to your commitment to serve and deliver mission results. We are in a period of dynamic change within the Coast Guard. We are implementing new national priorities and orders from the President and other senior civilian leadership through executing our missions in service to the American people. This provides my initial direction and intent for the Service going forward. Like every Coast Guard cutter, we must do three things: Float, Fight, and Navigate.

Coast Guard Publication 3-0, Operations	Since 1790 the Coast Guard has conducted integrated, layered operations across vast geographic maritime areas of responsibility to meet the evolving threats and challenges that face the Nation. The Coast Guard operates in the maritime domain, an enormous and complex environment. The physical characteristics of the sea present varying, dynamic and dangerous weather, seas states and water conditions. Human activity on the water continues to expand in a domain that does not readily sustain it. The maritime industry continues to evolve as the world remains fully dependent on global maritime trade in an advancing technology and information age. Varied and overlapping international and sovereign legal and policy regimes governing the maritime domain pose practical operational challenges. The Coast Guard requires a comprehensive concept of operations to successfully conduct operations in this unique operating environment.	2/29/2012
Arctic Strategy	As Arctic ice recedes and maritime activity increases, the Coast Guard must be prepared to administer and inform national objectives over the long-term. The United States is an Arctic nation, and the Coast Guard supports numerous experienced and capable partners in the region. The aim of this strategy is to ensure safe, secure, and environmentally responsible maritime activity in the Arctic. This strategy establishes objectives to meet this aim and support national policy. Framed with a planning horizon of 10 years, it delineates the ends, ways, and means for achieving strategic objectives while articulating factors that contribute to long-term success.	5/31/2013
Doctrine for the U.S. Coast Guard, Pub 1	Our Coast Guard began in 1790 with a plan to govern the maritime commerce of our fledgling Nation. In that year, Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters to improve enforcement of customs duties and tonnage taxes. Since then our responsibilities have continuously expanded to encompass every aspect of maritime governance. Today, as the Nation’s maritime first responder, we fulfill our present day strategic mission of ensuring the Safety, Security and Stewardship of the Nation’s waters by protecting those on the sea, protecting the Nation against threats delivered by sea, and protecting the sea itself.	2/28/2014
Western Hemisphere Strategy	This strategy addresses transnational threats and maritime challenges that threaten the security of our Nation, markets, and oceans over the next 10 years. As our mission space changes, we must prepare for the future.	9/30/2014
U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fleet Plan	The USCG and NOAA share a legacy of collaboration stretching back to the beginning of our Nation. Over 207 years of mutual interests and intersecting missions have given rise to productive partnerships in the maritime and atmospheric domains. Common throughout these partnerships is reliance upon people and capital assets – uniformed service members and civilian personnel, ships, boats, aircraft, satellites, and autonomous and remotely piloted vehicles. These resources are employed to support our Nation’s economic welfare and sustain our natural resources. They also form the basis of, and contribute to, the United States’ ability to project soft sea power.	10/31/2014
Security Sector Assistance Strategy	Successful Coast Guard-led development programs are built around a three-strand critical path emphasizing vessel operation, vessel sustainment and boarding party employment; without which coast guards and navies, regardless of size, cannot deter or defeat threats from the sea. Achieving and sustaining self-sufficiency in these core areas requires an equal or greater investment in designing and institutionalizing an array of support systems, processes, policies and authorities which are addressed elsewhere in this strategy.	7/31/2015
