SUBJ: MAXIMUM EFFORTS TO SUPPORT RECRUITING
1. I am calling on every member of our Coast Guard military,
civilian, Auxiliary, retiree, and family to put forth a maximum
effort to recruit the workforces of our future. As we face evolving
and increasing operational challenges, the Service must find
innovative ways to recruit, train, and sustain a military and
civilian workforce that remains Semper Paratus to meet the future
head-on. As such, I consider talent acquisition to be one of the
highest priorities for our Service. We are in the midst of a
workforce shortage not seen in generations, and this shortage
threatens our Service's readiness. As recruiters and hiring
managers respond to the ever-changing realities of the pandemic,
shifts in culture and demographics, and economic pressure, it will
take an "all hands on deck" approach to fully recruit the workforce
necessary to meet mission demands.
2. While I have directed significant resources to Recruiting Command
initiatives that will increase our capacity to recruit military
personnel active duty and reserve these will take time to implement.
Action is needed now, and the Recruiting Command needs your help to
reach every American who may be interested in joining our Service.
Talk to people in your community, spread the word by sharing your
"Best day in the Coast Guard" story with others. Volunteer and
demonstrate through your actions that the Coast Guard is a great
organization. We will continue the "Everyone is a Recruiter"
incentive program because we can all talk about the Coast Guard in
our own unique and inspiring ways.
3. At the same time, we have incredible opportunities and needs in
our civilian workforce. Our civilian recruitment team focuses on
attracting, recruiting, and retaining a diverse and talented
workforce. Our team develops recruitment and outreach strategies
targeting veterans, individuals with disabilities, women,
hard-to-fill positions and other underrepresented groups to meet the
Coast Guard's workforce needs. The civilian recruiting team within
the Office of Civilian Workforce Management (CG-122), can be reached
at civjobs@uscg.mil. If you know of strong candidates to serve in
our civilian ranks, please highlight to them the opportunities of
federal service and encourage them to visit:

4. It is time the Coast Guard stopped being the best kept secret in
government service. Help us get the word out "The Coast Guard is
Hiring!" I cannot overstate the importance of motivated units and
individuals contributing to our recruiting efforts. To be clear,
this must be Commander's business!
