Boat operations, maritime law enforcement authorities, and advancement study material. This guide is not open yet — the Army guide came first, and each service gets the same treatment rather than a thin copy of it.

What this guide will hold

  • The Coast Guard directives system — Commandant Instructions and Manuals, indexed and summarized.
  • Boat crew qualification references, the boat crew seamanship manual, and watchstanding standards.
  • Maritime law enforcement authorities: jurisdiction, the eleven statutory missions, and use-of-force policy in plain language.
  • Advancement study: the enlisted performance qualifications and the servicewide exam bibliographies.
  • Uniform regulations, rating structure, and Coast Guard history from the Revenue Cutter Service forward.

No date promised. When it opens it will be because the material is verified against current publications, not because a placeholder expired.
