State of USCG and fleet

[Jeepman]

Does anyone have any good information or links to information on the financial state of the USCG? Anything related to the USCG as a whole and or the USCGA, especially as it compares to the USN and USNA?

Here's what the boss had to say last year.

It depends what you want to know...could you be more specific? "Financial state of the CG" is a loaded question.

Along with the above from CoastiePilot, here's what the CG is requesting for the FY19 budget: https://www.uscg.mil/Portals/0/documents/budget/FY2019BudgetFactSheet_FINAL.PDF (Notice USCGA is specifically mentioned.)

Thanks for the reply. I watched the video (good stuff). So if this is the budget, when does it get approved? How does all that work?

If you want your eyes to go glassy, have fun reading at the link below. The PPBE is the massive, ponderous budgeting lifecycle process whose maw thrives on staff officers at headquarters staffs and provides full careers for civilian budget specialists.
