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.
Advantage at Sea: Prevailing with Integrated All-Domain Naval Power	The Tri-Service Maritime Strategy, Advantage at Sea, outlines the three sea services’ commitment to the Nation, our allies, and our partners. The shared efforts outlined in this document are designed to ensure the continuance of the international rules-based order, at all levels of the competition continuum. Advantage at Sea orients the next decade’s focus towards retention, modernization, and mission efficacy, leveraging each service’s complementary capabilities and authorities towards the nation’s strategic priorities.	12/17/2020
ANTI-DISCRIMINATION-HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENT	The Coast Guard Anti-discrimination-harassment policy statement focuses on creating a safe and equitable work environment. The Coast Guard is devoted to an environment that promotes dignity, respect, and fairness. In our Coast Guard everyone is always entitled to a workplace free from discrimination or harassment of any kind. Unlawful discrimination and harassment degrade our readiness and mission performance, and deny our active duty, Reserve, civilian, and Auxiliary workforce the meaningful experience they deserve in service to the American people.	3/28/2025
Arctic Strategic Outlook	Since the release of the Coast Guard Arctic Strategy in 2013, the renewal of global strategic competition has coincided with dramatic changes in the physical environment of the Arctic. The interaction of these drivers has made the Arctic a strategically-competitive space for the first time since the end of the Cold War. Competition does not preclude cooperation, and the Coast Guard will always look for opportunities to collaborate to solve complex issues. However, the Service must do so within the context of the Nation's national security interests.	4/23/2019
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

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

Cyber Strategic Outlook	The U.S. Coast Guard is the nation’s lead federal agency for securing and safeguarding the nation’s maritime domain. Its role as both a military and law enforcement agency provide maximum flexibility to combat cyber threats and protect U.S. maritime interests both domestically and abroad. In 2015, the Coast Guard’s Cyber Strategy established cyberspace as a new operational domain for the Coast Guard. This new and updated Cyber Strategic Outlook reaffirms that foundation and that we will bring the same ethos, proven doctrine and operational concepts, and over 230 years of experience to bear on our operations in and through cyberspace.	8/3/2021
