Continued Support of New Assets

摘要

The U.S. Coast Guard serves a unique and diverse role-a branch of the Armed Forces, a member of the intelligence community, a humanitarian service, and a maritime law enforcement and federal regulatory agency. While the Coast Guard's legacy is strong, our future challenges perhaps have never been greater. We face necessary fiscal constraints while executing a broadening mission set in a complex and dynamic environment-one that is hindered by aging platforms and crumbling infrastructure. As we move forward, the Coast Guard's FY2016 Budget reflects the Commandant's three priorities: Invest in the 21st Century Coast Guard; Sustain Mission Excellence; and Maximize Service to the Nation.
