Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Naval History of the United States Coast Guard: With Citations of Various Statutes Defining Its Military Status From 1790 to 1922 The Act of January 28, 1915 (38 Stats., 800), established the Coast Guard in lieu of the then existing Revenue-Cutter Service and the Life-Saving Service. That Act expressly provides that the Coast Guard "shall constitute a part of the military forces of the United States, and shall operate under the Treasury Department in time of peace, and operate as a part of the Navy, subject to the orders of the Secretary of the Navy in time of war or when the President shall so direct." It will be observed that under the terms of the Act, the Coast Guard operates as "a part of the Navy" not only in time of war, but whenever the President shall so direct. It may also be noted that the Coast Guard is defined as "a part of the military forces of the United States" whether it be operating under the Treasury Department or under the Navy Department. Of the 270 commissioned officers now authorized by law in the Coast Guard, only 13 were acquired from the personnel of the former Life-Saving Service. These were the district superintendents who, not formerly commissioned officers, were commissioned as such by the terms of the Act of January 28, 1915.
