§5104 Manpower Requirements Plan

Summary

The Commandant must send a manpower requirements plan to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation when the President files the budget for fiscal year 2017, when the President files the budget for fiscal year 2019, and every 4 years after that. For each Coast Guard mission, the plan must show projected mission needs for the coming fiscal year and for each of the next 3 years. It must give the current and projected numbers of active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel who are assigned or available and the numbers required to meet the mission. The plan must point out any gaps between what is needed and the personnel available now and over the next 3 years, and say what the Commandant will do to fix those gaps. While making the plan, the Commandant must consider the marine safety strategy under section 2116 of title 46, the most recent report under section 5103 of this title about the acquisition workforce, and any other federal strategic plans the Commandant finds useful.
