§5104 Manpower Requirements Plan

Summary

When the President sends Congress a budget for fiscal year 2017, for fiscal year 2019, and then every 4 years after that, 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. The plan must cover each Coast Guard mission. For each mission the plan must show projected mission needs for the coming fiscal year and the next 3 fiscal years; how many active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel are available now and are projected for those years; how many are required now and are projected; any gaps caused by too few people now and in those projections; and what the Commandant will do to fix those gaps. In making the plan, the Commandant must consider the marine safety strategy under section 2116 of title 46, the most recent report on the acquisition workforce under section 5103 of this title, and any other federal strategic plans the Commandant thinks are relevant.
