What this funds

The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $103.2M and 998 Positions for five intelligence centers and 35 Sectors across the Nation. Positions at the Sectors include command center staff, boarding teams, MTS Operations Management staff for increased container inspections, and logistics staff. Additionally, this increase establishes a strategic gaming cell to enable the Service to simulate, wargame, and refine its response to emerging, complex threats in a controlled environment. By fusing intelligence directly with frontline operators, this investment further transforms the Service's posture from reactive screening to proactive targeting. These resources will enable USCG forces to interdict illicit drugs and respond to future threats before they endanger the Nation's critical The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $11.0M and 35 Positions to fund crews and operations for the second HC-130J at Air Station This initiative replaces the retired HC-130H with the HC-130J, improving fixed wing aviation capabilities and effectiveness across all USCG missions. In FY 2026, USCG Air Station Sacramento, California became the fourth Air Station to operate the more capable HC-130J aircraft. The FY 2027 Budget includes a decrease of $5.7M for the sunsetting of the USCG's Logistics Information Management System (CG-LIMS) This change supports the divestiture of the Navy's in-development logistics information technology modernization effort, formally known as Naval Logistics Information Technology (Naval LOG IT). It was determined that the Naval LOG IT solution will not meet the USCG's unique operational Program Change 40 - Long Range Command and Control Aircraft (LRCCA) Follow-On: The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $38.9M and 70 Positions to fund crews and operations for two C-39A LRCCA at Air Station This increase ensures senior leadership can be deployed anywhere in the world during crises to maintain continuity of government and lead operations. The C-39A functions as a globally deployable, secure command and control node, equipped with integrated communications that enable senior leaders to direct complex, multi-region national security operations in real-time. Program Change 41 - Mission Data and Systems: U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $43.6M and 44 Positions to deploy advanced biometric systems with a resilient satellite communications backbone for real-time threat identification in remote locations. These resources will improve sensor data integration for Coastal Sentinel and establish new Domain Data Teams for intelligence, finance, and operations. This funding is a foundational element of the USCG's technological transformation, designed to operationalize data as a strategic asset. By deploying advanced biometric systems for real-time threat identification and modernizing the common operating picture, the Service will equip operators with the information superiority needed to control, secure, and defend the U.S. border and maritime approaches. The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $53.1M and 569 Positions for medical care, logistics support, and personnel support across 22 Bases, 24 Air Stations, and the Personnel Service Center to fill critical gaps, improve personnel readiness, and prepare for the USCG's workforce growth. This increase funds the logistical and personnel backbone needed to support the growing fleet and workforce delivered by the historic Working Families Tax Cut Act, ensuring new assets and crews are prepared to protect the Nation's interests. These resources will provide the medical capacity, personnel support, and shore-side logistics required to build a resilient and ready force capable of responding to any crisis. The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $59.1M and 525 Positions at Maritime Safety and Security Teams, Tactical Law Enforcement Teams, Maritime Security Response Teams, National Strike Force Teams, and various Reserve force units. This includes two new MSSTs, additional boat crews, law enforcement detachments, direct action sections, intelligence capabilities, and enhanced logistics capacity. This initiative integrates these teams with the new Deployable Specialized Forces Command to improve collaboration with the DOW and maximizes their unique value to the Nation. A stronger, more agile and capable force is essential to ensure overmatch in any contingency. The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $5.5M to enhance organic Document and Media Exploitation (DOMEX) capabilities by acquiring and fielding new Digital Evidence Search and Seizure (DESS) kits to critical operational forces. By identifying unit and personnel requirements, securing expert contractor support, and executing a robust training program, the USCG will deliver fully equipped and trained operators capable of exploiting digital media to provide operational commanders with actionable intelligence and evidentiary material from the point of collection. This program change increases funding for DOMEX and DESS capabilities vital to address current and future threats. Enhanced DOMEX capabilities and the increased number of DESS kits will improve the Service's ability target and analyze data critical for drug and migrant The FY 2027 Budget includes an increase of $29.5M and 30 Positions to operate newly acquired or recapitalized shore facilities scheduled for
