material. In order to maintain a versatile workforce representing a cross section of marine
related trades, it is vital for the Coast Guard to identify and plan for future YARD workload.
The YARD maintains a five-year projection of future work in order to project activity levels. In
order for the YARD to operate in the most cost-effective manner, steady state workload must
remain at or near capacity. To achieve this workload to capacity balance requires an
organizational commitment to direct sufficient work to the YARD. Moreover, to manage
activity levels and ensure a viable workforce, the YARD must be aware of future projects that
could be accomplished either at the Curtis Bay facility, or by exportable work teams. This
document provides Team Coast Guard with guidance for YARD workload management for the
next five fiscal years.
6. POLICY. The following Coast Guard components shall take the appropriate action to ensure
YARD is included in planning for all projects with in the Coast Guard YARD's capabilities and
actively view the YARD as the primary logistics support provider. They shall be guided by the
amplifying information in enclosure (1).
a. The Assistant Commandants for Acquisitions and Operations (G-A, G-O) and their respective
staffs shall, upon receipt of tasking, or commencement of planning for new
projects/acquisitions/missions involving cutters, boats, or marine electronics systems, notify the
YARD, via Chief, Office of Naval Engineering (G-SEN), of new requirements. This
notification will serve as a reminder for the acquisition and operation directorate staffs to review
the YARD's capabilities in the development of acquisition strategies or issuing requirement
changes.
b. The Program Executive Officer (PEO) for the Deepwater Capabilities Project (G-D) shall work
closely with the Assistant Commandant for Systems (G-S) to identify Deepwater cutter
sustainability work that may be suitable or identified by the Integrated Deepwater System (IDS)
system integrator for accomplishment at the CG YARD.
c. The Assistant Commandant for Systems shall be alert to all marine related work that fits the
YARD's capabilities. Such work includes, but is not limited to: renovation, conversion, repairs,
and remediation of cutters and boats; new construction of ships, boats, and electronic systems;

this shall include:
1)
The Offices of Electronic Systems (G-SCE), Telecommunications Systems (G-SCT), and
the Computer Systems (G-SCC) shall notify the YARD, via G-SEN, of all future electronic
systems projects that fall within the YARD's capability.
2)
Chief, Office of Civil Engineering (G-SEC) shall consider the YARD as a source of supply

that fall within the YARD's capabilities.
3)
