Source of Commission.  Table 8.16 presents source of commission for Reserve officer accessions and Reserve officers in the Coast Guard and overall DoD Reserve Components.  The most often cited source of commission for both new USCG Reserve officer accessions and members of the USCG Reserve officer corps was "Other," which includes officers trained in one Service, but accessed or serving in another Service.  The remainder of new officer accessions or officer corps members were commissioned via either OCS or the Coast Guard Academy.  The Coast Guard Reserve does not have an ROTC program.
