Which official title serves as the program manager for the overall Coast Guard Security program?

• A. Commandant (G-CFI)
• B. Deputy Commandant for Operations
• C. Judge Advocate General
• D. Assistant Commandant for Intelligence

Answer: (A)

Program management for security across the Coast Guard sits at the top of the command chain, within the Commandant’s office, specifically the G-CFI staff. This setup assigns the overall responsibility for security policy, coordination, and program oversight to the Commandant, with the G-CFI element handling the day-to-day management of the security program. The other roles oversee different domains—operational execution and missions, legal counsel, and intelligence—so none of them encompass the service-wide security program in its entirety.
