reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA560281 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The United States Coast Guard is a dynamic military organization that is continuously changing to meet its multi-mission objectives. Based upon current trends, the demands placed on the Coast Guard will increase in the future. The American public will expect full execution of its national security and protection missions. The Coast Guard reserve officer is a vital partner in ensuring these missions are accomplished in a professional manner. However, unless action is taken soon, Coast Guard reserve officers will not be fully viable leaders, capable of implementing and succeeding in future missions. The current status quo of the Coast Guard reserve officer program cannot continue. This paper will discuss the concepts of professionalism and officership and examine three reserve officer career milestones accessionsindoctrination, mid-grade officer technical expertise and development, and senior leader education. Recommendations for improving the training and development of Coast Guard reserve officers will be presented with the objective of making them full-fledged members of the Coast Guard team.
