Looking Out to 2020: Trends Relevant to the Coast Guard

Abstract

In December 1995, the Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard asked CNA to help support the development of a capstone document that describes today's Coast Guard and includes a framework within which to portray its continued relevance to the United States. CNA responded with its Future Directions Study for the United States Coast Guard. The study focused on three issues: traditions, trends, and implications for the service as a whole. In November 1996, the Future Directions study team briefed the senior Coast Guard leadership on our initial findings. The product of the this briefing includes a discussion of Coast Guard core values and characteristics, relevant trends, and four notional end states representing the potential impact of these trends. This document supports that initial, summary presentation of trends with more detailed description of our research.
