A strong and resilient culture is critical to our success both as a military force and as individuals. Every Coast Guard member must have a workplace where they feel safe, valued, empowered, trusted, and connected. The Coast Guard is aggressively implementing the Commandant’s Directed Actions. We are moving the Service forward while focusing intently on providing a workplace climate that is intolerant of harmful behaviors – the workplace all of our members expect and deserve.

We must reinvigorate and sustain the Coast Guard’s culture to more effectively align our behaviors – how we treat each other and the public we serve – with our Core Values.

Cultivating and reinforcing engaged leadership at all levels in this effort is central to strengthening our culture. The Coast Guard must foster workforce trust in the institution, its leadership, and its processes for supporting members.
