Congress must authorize the Coast Guard’s active-duty end strength and average training loads for each fiscal year before related funds may be appropriated. The President may temporarily defer an end-strength limit during war or a national emergency.
(a) For each fiscal year, Congress must authorize the Coast Guard’s active-duty personnel strength at the end of that year. Money may be appropriated for those personnel only if that end strength was authorized by law. If a war declaration or national emergency exists at the fiscal year’s end, the President may delay an end-strength limit for a Coast Guard military or civilian component for up to six months after the war or emergency ends.
(b)(1) Congress must authorize the Coast Guard’s average military-training student loads each fiscal year for (A) recruit and specialized training, (B) flight training, (C) professional training at military and civilian institutions, and (D) officer-acquisition training. (2) Money may be appropriated for training in those categories only if the fiscal year’s average loads were authorized by law.
For each fiscal year, Congress shall authorize the strength for active duty personnel of the Coast Guard as of the end of that fiscal year. Amounts may be appropriated for a fiscal year to or for the use of active duty personnel of the Coast Guard only if the end strength for active duty personnel for that fiscal year has been authorized by law. If at the end of any fiscal year there is in effect a declaration of war or national emergency, the President may defer the effectiveness of any end-strength limitation with respect to that fiscal year prescribed by law for any military or civilian component of the Coast Guard, for a period not to exceed 6 months after the end of the war or termination of the national emergency.
Congress shall authorize the average military training student loads for the Coast Guard for each fiscal year. That authorization is required for student loads for the following individual training categories:
Recruit and specialized training.
Flight training.
Professional training in military and civilian institutions.
Officer acquisition training.
Amounts may be appropriated for a fiscal year for use in training military personnel of the Coast Guard in the categories referred to in paragraph (1) only if the average student loads for the Coast Guard for that fiscal year have been authorized by law.
