Dan Webster: “How are these programs working? And are recruiting and retention numbers coming up?”

Providing the right assets and safe assets to our personnel is the Coast Guard's number one priority.

At the same time, we are here to examine what investments must be made into the Coast Guard's most valuable resource: its people.

To the Coasties who joined us here today and across the world, thank you all for your unconditional service to our nation.

Thank you. And I would like to work with you as more decisions are issued this year.
