4.E. U. S. <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> Tartan<br />
Active duty, reserve, retired, auxiliary, and others desiring to support <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong><br />
activities through membership in pipe bands or pipe and drum bands are authorized to<br />
wear the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> Tartan as part of a piper’s outfit by individuals and organizations<br />
affiliated with, but not an official part of the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong>. The policy for wear of the<br />
tartan and piper’s outfit will be drawn from military traditions rather than from Scottish<br />
ethnic traditions.<br />
