Abstract:The U.S. Coast Guard, a component
of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), conducts 11
statutory missions that range from
marine safety to defense readiness.
To enhance mission performance,
the Coast Guard is implementing a
modernization program to update
its command structure, support
systems, and business practices,
while continuing the Deepwater
program—the acquisition program
to replace or upgrade its fleet of
vessels and aircraft. This testimony
discusses the Coast Guard’s (1)
fiscal year 2010 budget, (2) mission
performance in fiscal year 2008, the
most recent year for which
statistics are available; and (3)
challenges in managing its
modernization and acquisition
programs and workforce planning.
This testimony is based on GAO
products issued in 2009 (including
GAO-09-530R and GAO-09-620T)
and other GAO products issued
over the past 11 years—with
selected updates in June 2009—and
ongoing GAO work regarding the
Coast Guard’s newest vessel, the
National Security Cutter. Also,
GAO analyzed budget and missionperformance
documents and
interviewed Coast Guard officials.
