SUBJ: COMMANDANT'S DIRECTION: READINESS, PEOPLE, STEWARDSHIP:
ESTABLISHING COAST GUARD SECTORS
1. PURPOSE. TO STRENGTHEN UNITY OF COMMAND IN OUR PORT, WATERWAY
AND COASTAL AREAS OF OPERATION, I HAVE DIRECTED THAT NEW INTEGRATED
OPERATIONAL FIELD UNITS BE ESTABLISHED THROUGHOUT THE COAST GUARD.
THIS IS IN KEEPING WITH THE EXPRESSED INTENT OF IMPROVING READINESS
IN MY COMMANDANTS DIRECTION. THESE NEW COMMANDS - TO BE CALLED
SECTORS - WILL BE BETTER MATCHED TO CURRENT MISSION CHALLENGES,
WILL BETTER ALIGN OUR FIELD OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND WILL
IMPROVE OUR MISSION PERFORMANCE. THIS INITIATIVE WILL BEST POSITION
THE COAST GUARD TO SUPPORT OUR SECRETARY IN ACHIEVING UNITY OF
PURPOSE AS ONE TEAM FOR ONE FIGHT. SECTORS WILL BE BASED ON A
STANDARD ORGANIZATION MODEL THROUGH WHICH WE WILL INTEGRATE THE
FUNCTIONS NOW PERFORMED SEPARATELY BY GROUPS, MARINE SAFETY
