b Temporary Additional Duty. Temporary additional duty (TAD) required by the Coast
Guard, for either Coast Guard or Navy exchange officers, shall be directed in orders issued
by those Coast Guard officers authorized to issue TAD orders in accordance with Article 4-

appropriations. Temporary additional duty required by the Navy, for either Coast Guard or
Navy exchange officers, will be directed by orders published by the Navy. Costs shall be
chargeable to Navy appropriations.
c
Termination. Upon completion of an exchange officer's tour of duty, the officer will be
ordered back to their parent Service with PCS orders issued by the same authority as in
paragraph 5.a.
d Report of Compliance With Orders.
(1) Coast Guard Exchange Officers. In accordance with Navy instructions.

6. PERSONNEL POLICIES.
a
Status. Exchange officers shall be assigned to duties commensurate with their grade and
experience. They shall assume the authority and supervisory responsibilities inherent to
such duties and shall have the same status as other officers of the receiving Service of
equivalent grade and seniority; however, they shall not be assigned pecuniary, law
enforcement, or other responsibilities which are specifically delegated to the receiving
Service by statute or directive. Situations may arise which require an exchange officer to
succeed to command of a unit. Consequently, Navy officers serving in Coast Guard units
shall be included in the written order of succession to command if otherwise qualified.
Although the Navy exchange officer cannot personally perform law enforcement functions
such as boardings, inspections and arrests, the officer is, while serving in the capacity of
commanding officer of a Coast Guard unit, empowered to order such actions to be
performed by Coast Guard personnel. The officer is empowered to order actions as are
justified pursuant to the instructions of the operational commander. In the performance of
these functions, the officer is afforded the same type and degree of protection (immunity to
prosecution) as is afforded any Coast Guard officer in command of a cutter or aircraft
deployed for law enforcement missions.
