Characteristics
of Active Component Officers
The USCG uses a variety of officer commissioning programs.
These include programs for civilians and active USCG enlisted members
and warrant officers to become commissioned officers. In FY 2000, the
USCG commissioned a total of 437 new officers, up from 329 in FY 1999.
The USCG commissioned officer corps stood at 5,542 at the end of FY 2000,
also up from FY 1999 when the end-strength stood at 5,504. In Table 7.6,
the distribution of new USCG officers (accessions) and current officers
(corps) by source of commission and level of education is presented with
applicable overall DoD figures for comparison.
