A. Values
Our values represent what we really care about and how we want to do
business. Our worth as a service organization rests upon these
shared values, and they will guide our approach in the future:
QUALITY
Quality comes first. To achieve customer satisfaction, the
quality of our products and services must be our highest
priority.
HONOR
Honesty, integrity and trust are the backbone of a sustained
quality organization that leads to an entrepreneurial
environment which values appropriate risk-taking.
TEAMWORK
Involvement, mutual respect and open communication without
risk are the foundation for our team-based management
approach.
B. Vision
The following statements express our approach to moving toward the
future:
We shall provide world-class logistics support.
We shall provide our people with opportunities for
personal and professional growth in an environment of
trust, integrity, equality, and mutual respect.
We shall support changing Coast Guard needs through
continuous improvement, innovation, and technological
growth.
And, we shall, in everything we do, support the men
and women who carry out the missions of the United States
Coast Guard, now and into the 21st century.
C.
Mission
The Coast Guard defines logistics as "all those support activities
associated with developing, acquiring, testing, and sustaining the
mission effectiveness of operating assets throughout their social
lives." The following is a statement of what we must do as we move
toward the future state of Coast Guard logistics:
We contribute to mission effectiveness of operating assets
by ensuring their material readiness and by maintaining
force management standards. We provide our customers, the
men and women of the Coast Guard, with the right material,
service, and information at the right time, in the right
place and at a reasonable cost to meet the needs of the
service.
