The Coast Guard Reserve is designed to provide a trained implementing force of 45,200 officers and enlisted personnel in the Ready Reserve, available for active duty in time of war or national emergency and at such times as the national security requires, to fill the needs of the Coast Guard. 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 each being 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 mobilization who, due to previous training either in units or on active duty, and in some cases whose civilian occupations are closely allied to their military specialties, do not require frequent training. Program. The proposed program for 1966 will provide a total of 29,910 officers and enlisted personnel in all categories of the Ready Reserve by the end of the fiscal year. Direct program by activities-1. Trainee expense. The program for 1965 provides for an increase from 19,260 to 20,020 in the number of reservists to receive training of the types required for mobilization purposes. The program for 1966 provides for the number of trainees to receive training to remain the same with the man-days of training increasing from 1,502,177 to 1,590,588. A new 2 by 6 program will be initiated in 1966 with an input of 500 trainees. No increase in group D training is planned. TYPES OF TRAINING PLANNED 1965 Man-days of training Active duty for training 1 These items represent nonpaid man-days included in total drill man-days. Note.
