Chapter 7 - Source of Commission

Table 7.14 presents source of commission for Reserve officer accessions and Reserve officers in the Coast Guard and overall DoD Reserve Components. The most often cited source of commission for both new USCG Reserve officer accessions and members of the USCG Reserve officer corps was OCS/OTS. The remainder of new officer accessions or officer corps members were commissioned via either the Coast Guard Academy or "Other" sources, such as officers trained in one military Service, but accessed or serving in another Service. The Coast Guard Reserve does not have an ROTC program.
