Beyond that, one of the most important aspects of the program is that it creates a fundamental building block for cadet leadership training, which will be util- ized by every single cadet – 100% – for the next two decades.” Bob Hallock ’72 Chair, Procurement Committee Putting cadets under sail is the best way to teach our future maritime officers the ways of the sea and for them to acquire a love for its lore. Under sail, the future officer gains a greater appreciation and respect for the wind, waves, and tides. Sailing craft also provide cadets with a valuable leader- ship experience – often their first experience at com- mand and control at sea. A ship under sail tests the true character and mettle of a young officer and provides in- valuable lessons on the importance of teamwork. The Coast Guard Academy’s fleet of coastal sail training craft, “the Luders,” are long past their prime and, if they are not soon replaced, the Academy will lose one of its most important platforms for leadership and character development. The Leadership 44 Campaign seeks to raise the funds needed to replace the aging Luders fleet, which has been used for the Coastal Sail Training Program (CSTP) for more than 40 years. The Leadership 44 coastal sail training vessels • are the Superintendent’s top priority • are designed to be a floating leadership platform, providing Cadets a maritime experience that is difficult to recreate with large cutters • will be the primary platform for the 2/c Coastal Sail Training Program, which is considered by most cadets to be their seminal leadership experience while at the Academy • will provide all cadets with small craft command and control, navigation, and seamanship experiences • will be used as an extension of the cadet barracks, with each cadet Company having access to, and responsibility for, its own boat • will extend the waterfront season, providing Cadets more time underway • will allow for standardization of the off-shore sailing program • will showcase the Coast Guard Academy as one of the premier waterfront facilities in the country Partners U.S. Coast Guard Academy Alumni Association Coast Guard Foundation CGA Parents Association Above information from www.cgaleadership44.org/mission.html (©2010 CGALeadership44.org) 2 GLPA Winter 2011-12 Newsletter (Continued from Graduation, page 1) CG flag or one of the graduation other facilities are open. a parent I’ve experienced both). banners available thru the Parent’s In the evening is the formal The CGA graduation is NOT just a Association.

It is my pleasure to be here today to discuss the U.S. Coast Guard’s global operations, our support to the Department of State (DOS), and the Department of Defense (DoD) Geographic Combatant Commanders, as well as the role we play in the execution of the National Security and National Defense Strategy amidst the resumption of great power competition. The U.S. Coast Guard is a multi-mission, maritime service responsible for the safety, security, and stewardship of the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. At all times a military service and branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, a federal law enforcement agency, a regulatory body, a first responder, and a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Coast Guard operates on all seven continents and throughout the homeland, serving a nation whose national security and economic prosperity are inextricably linked to vast maritime interests. The U.S. Coast Guard protects and defends more than 100,000 miles of U.S. coastline and inland waterways, saves thousands of lives per year, and safeguards the world’s largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), encompassing 4.5 million square miles of ocean.

ALLEN COMMANDANT ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2009 PRESIDENT’S BUDGET BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORATION SUBCOMMITTEE ON OCEANS, ATMOSPHERE, FISHERIES, AND COAST GUARD UNITED STATES SENATE 6 MARCH 2008 INTRODUCTION Good morning Madam Chair and distinguished members of the Committee. I am pleased to be here to discuss the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2009 budget request for the Coast Guard. First, I thank you for the enduring support you have shown to the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and ask for your full support of the President’s request. The Coast Guard FY 2009 budget request sustains service delivery, continues critical recapitalization efforts and builds capacity in three strategic areas: marine safety, command and control, and intelligence and awareness. We need every dollar the President has requested. I open by sharing my professional views as Commandant on our strategic operating environment and the most immediate challenges facing the service today. These challenges provide an important backdrop for our budget request and the premium our workforce places on growth, pace of recapitalization and emergency sustainment. The Coast Guard delivered historic national results in 2007. We saved over 5,000 lives, removed a record $4.7 billion of cocaine from the global narcotics stream, rescued over 6,000 migrants on the high seas, and co-sponsored one of the largest oil spill exercises ever conducted.
