1-F. Nondiscrimination Policw The conduct of the MWR program
shall be free of any discrimination based on age, sex, race,
color, religion, or national origin. Support will not be
provided from the MWR program to any organization which
practices discrimination. Support would include, but not be
limited to the following:
1. Use of the name or sponsorship of the Coast Guard;
2. use of a facility or activity of the Coast Guard,
including those financed by NAF's;
3. participants in any recreational or sports event by a
team or individual representing the Coast Guard or
supported by a MWR fund; and
4. on-base distribution of tickets for an event, or any form
of publicity or promotion for an event.
G. Safety. A positive safety program shall be in effect for MWR
activities. Guidelines for the establishment of an adequate
safety program are outlined in the Coast Guard Safety and
Occupational Health Manual (COMDTINST M5100.29 (series)) and
chapter 12 of this Manual.
H. Funding. MWR is an appropriated fund responsibility with
supplementary support from non-appropriated funds. Non-
appropriated funds are derived primarily from Coast Guard
Exchange System profits and fees and charges levied for the
use of MWR facilities, equipment, or services. (see.Chapter
6-D for guidelines.)
I. Inspections. MWR programs shall be included in command
inspections as required by Coast Guard Regulations (COMDTINST
M5000.3 (series)). An inspection checklist is included in
enclosure (3).
J. Facilities.
1. Facilities for MWR activities shall be operated and
maintained with appropriated funds. Supplemental funding
with non-appropriated funds is authorized. The
construction, maintenance, and alteration of MWR
facilities are under the technical direction of
Commandant (G-E).
2. The provision, renovation, and replacement of MWR
facilities should be included in all installation
planning. Implementation of unit plans should be
pursued commensurate with the importance of their
contribution to the Coast Guard community. Proper long-
range planning is essential to the provision of adequate
MWR facilities.
3. MWR officers should provide technical guidance for the
development of all MWR facility projects and review all
plans for functional adequacy.
