Introduction
The Shore Facilities Capital Asset Management (SFCAM) Strategy is a top-down strategic
initiative that integrates planning, investing, using, and divesting decisions to better align shore
facilities with missions. This initiative will transition shore support from a decentralized traditional
facility engineering support focus, based on locally defined requirements, to a capital asset
management focus that emphasizes a partnership in managing the shore infrastructure and related
technologies as corporate strategic resources.
The shore infrastructure consists of over 23,000 buildings and structures with an average
age of 37 years valued at over 7 billion dollars. It supports 43,000 personnel, 230 cutters, 1,400
small boats and 198 aircraft. Current and projected OE and shore AC&I funding levels are
inadequate to maintain our existing shore plant. At present AC&I funding levels it will take 146
years to replace our shore plant vice the 50-year planned lifecycle. Under these circumstances,
shore infrastructure support of mission readiness is increasingly at risk. The SFCAM strategic
initiative will enable the Coast Guard to meet these challenges. Developed under the Assistant
Commandant for Systems, The SFCAM Strategy provides all Coast Guard stakeholders with a road
map for pursuing improvements to shore capabilities well into the future.
The current state of shore infrastructure management practices has been institutionalized
over many years; changing those practices will not occur instantly. This strategy is designed to
transition the organization through multiple interim future states. The first of these will address
organizational and cultural changes through the establishment of the Shore Infrastructure
Management Board and Integrated Planning Teams. Follow-on future states will address business
processes and technology requirements. Integration of shore facility capital asset planning,
investing, using, and divesting as well as the institutionalization of condition assessments and
development of standardized Total Ownership Costs will be achieved in the near future.
Technology improvements will include an integrated Shore Facilities Information System that will
collect the right data at the right time to facilitate fact-based recommendations.
Provided herein are the SFCAM vision, mission, guiding principles and strategies. Each
strategy contains goals, objectives, and initiatives; all organizational elements shall ensure that their
shore facilities capital asset efforts are linked to these strategies.
