PURPOSE.

a. This Instruction establishes U.S. Coast Guard policy and procedures governing voluntary civilian rotational assignments for Coast Guard civilian employees to opportunities internal to Coast Guard. Through this effort, growth opportunities will be offered to civilian personnel to expand professional competencies, build upon leadership skills and offer exposure to different areas of interest.

b. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a separate program and policy regarding external rotational assignments (i.e., rotational assignments of Coast Guard employees to DHS or other DHS components or agencies, including DHS locations to foreign areas, U.S. Congress, and the White House). This information is covered in the Department of Homeland Security Employee Rotations Policy, Reference (b).
