1.C. Coast Guard Uniform Board
1.C.1. Uniform Board Composition and Process
The Coast Guard uniform board convenes periodically to evaluate uniform change
suggestions and make recommendations to the Commandant. The Personnel Service
Center (PSD-mu) will convene the board as needed or at the direction of the
Commandant. The uniform board evaluates uniform-related suggestions and makes
recommendations for final decision at the appropriate level (PSC (PSD-mu), PSC
(PSD), PSC (d), PSC, CG-1, VCG or CCG) as delegated by the Commandant. The
Personnel Service Center (PSD) normally serves as the uniform board president, but
may delegate the authority to PSC (PSD-mu). The uniform board president will
prescreen all suggestions sent to the uniform board and disapprove, dismiss, or present to
the board as appropriate.
The uniform board will consist of ad hoc representatives from Commandant staffs of CG-
12, CG-7, CG-5, DG-4, DCMS-81, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard,
Gender Policy Advisor, each Area, Training Center Cape May, CG Academy or
Leadership Development Center, Coast Guard Auxiliary representative, and others, who
will be solicited as needed by PSC (PSD-mu). At their discretion, Area Commanders
may designate their representative from operational field units. Representatives from the
CG Clothing Design and Technical Office (CDTO), the Uniform Distribution Center
(UDC), and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (DLA Troop Support) may
serve as non-voting board members in an advisory capacity as directed.
The uniform board will meet when numerous recommendations or complex issues must
be addressed. Electronic consultations or teleconferencing between board members will
be the preferred method of reviewing a small number of uniform suggestions and to send
recommendations to the appropriate levels for final determination.
Final determinations of uniform board recommendations have the force of regulation and
will be promulgated as changes to this Manual
Records pertaining to the administration of the Permanent Uniform Board and
maintenance of regulations are permanent records and will be maintained and
disposed of in accordance with Information and Life Cycle Management manual,
COMDTINST M5212.12 (series).
