Consider moving the Coast Guard to the Defense Department
What the document says“Alternatively, USCG should be moved to DOD for all purposes.”
The chapter raises moving the Coast Guard out of Homeland Security and into the Defense Department as an alternative option. It separately asks that the Coast Guard fleet be sized for great-power competition, that it focus on home waters and the Pacific to counter Chinese influence, and that personnel dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine be brought back with time in service credited.
What the document actually says“Alternatively, USCG should be moved to DOD for all purposes.”
Or else the Coast Guard should move to the Defense Department for good.
The Coast Guard guards American waters. It sits inside the homeland department now. The book says it could move to the defense department instead.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing among the candidates moves the Coast Guard out of the Department of Homeland Security, which the chapter itself notes would take Congress. Executive Order 14185 reaches the service, but only to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to abolish its diversity offices, and Executive Order 14183 concerns gender identity and standards for military service. Neither changes which department the Coast Guard belongs to, and neither addresses sizing its fleet for great power competition or crediting time in service to personnel dismissed over the COVID vaccine. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
