The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Acquisitions Logistics Center Cutter Transition Division (CTD), with the help of our partners and crews, recently finished all scheduled FY24 decomissionings and lay-ups in support of the Commandant’s Force Alignment Initiative.

These cutters have protected our shores, carried out countless rescue missions, and safeguarded our maritime interests with unwavering dedication. Today, we honor the crews who sailed them, and the critical roles played in ensuring our safety!

By now, we’ve all heard about the Commandant’s Force Alignment Initiative (FAI). The long and the short of it is that as a Service, we’ve got a lot to do – and not enough people to do it. Coast Guard

The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Acquisitions Logistics Center's Cutter Transition Division welcomed U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Confidence (WMEC 619) to the Waterfront Operations and Training Center on Sunday morning for deactivation after 58 years of exemplary service. Coast Guard Cutter Confidence is the second of three 210-foot Reliance-class cutters being placed in “In Commission, Special” status as part of the Coast Guard's Force Alignment Initiative to mitigate workforce shortages across the service.

The Cutter Transition Division is the Coast Guard's single point-of-service for removing cutters from service by providing expertise in project management, logistics, maintenance, operations, and training.
