Proposed supplemental due to Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1963... The Coast Guard enforces maritime law, provides limited security of ports and waterfront facilities, saves life and property, provides navigational aids to maritime commerce in navigable waters, promotes the safety of the American merchant marine and maintains a state of military readiness to serve as a part of the Navy in time of war or national emergency. Direct program-1. Vessel operations.--Multifunctional vessels are strategically stationed along the coast and inland waterways to perform search and rescue; tend aids to navigation; operate an international ice observation and patrol service in the North Atlantic Ocean; perform limited ice breaking in navigable lakes, rivers, canals, and harbors; to enforce laws; and, beginning in 1964, to operate the ocean station program.

Shore stations and aids operations.-Bases, moorings, and lifeboat stations are strategically situated for search, rescue, and law enforcement, and for maintaining aids to navigation. Port security units control anchorage areas, supervise the loading and unloading of dangerous cargoes, and screen merchant seamen and longshoremen to bar subversive elements from merchant vessels and critical waterfront areas. Buoys, lightships, lighthouses, fog signal stations, light attendant stations, radiobeacons, and loran stations are maintained as navigational aids in the waters of the United States, its possessions, and military bases overseas. Radio stations provide rapid communication essential for Coast Guard operations and maintain a guard on the international maritime distress frequencies. Marine inspection offices and detachments administer laws and issue regulations on safety equipment and inspection of merchant vessels, and on licensing and certification of merchant marine officers and crews. They review plans for construction or alteration of merchant vessels, investigate marine accidents, and handle disciplinary cases. These offices also administer the small-boat safety program.

Training.-The Coast Guard Reserve training program is organized into categories compatible with the required phases of mobilization. The first or primary category is organized to provide trained units and personnel for specific assignments or tasks within 15 days of the outset of mobilization. This program provides 48 paid drills of at least 2 hours duration, and 2 weeks active duty for training for personnel who are assigned to organized training units and who occupy positions that require continued training in critical specialties, in order to maintain a high standard of proficiency for unit or specific mobilization assignments. The second category is designed to provide specialized training to additional individuals, scheduled for early mobilization, in nonpay units and/or 15 to 30 days periodic active duty for training. The third category is comprised of personnel scheduled for mobilization within 6 months of the outset of mobiliza |
