Which form formalizes and submits an award recommendation for a Coast Guard member?

• A. CG-1650
• B. CG-1645
• C. CG-4307
• D. CG-552

Answer: (A)

CG-1650 is the form designated to formalize and submit an award recommendation for a Coast Guard member. It provides a standardized way to capture who is being recommended, the specific award, the actions or achievements justifying the award, and the dates involved. It also collects the endorsements and signatures from the member’s chain of command, creating an official record that can be reviewed by awards boards. The other forms are used for different administrative tasks and do not gather the award justification and routing necessary for an award recommendation, so they wouldn’t be appropriate for this purpose.
