At the same time, the Coast Guard remains responsible for many other missions important to the nation's interests, such as conducting search and rescue and protecting important fishing grounds. GAO's past work found that despite substantial budget increases, the Coast Guard's extensive homeland security responsibilities resulted in a reduction in the levels at which the agency's ship, boat, and aircraft resources were applied to non- homeland security programs. GAO was asked to update and expand this work by analyzing: the trends in resource usage, the trends in performance results, and the implications of these trends. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-432/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-432.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-432/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-432.pdf GAO-04-432 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-432 Other Written Product GAO-04-432; Coast Guard Programs: Relationship between Resources Used and Results Achieved Needs to Be Clearer; Emergency preparedness National defense operations National preparedness Performance measures Coast Guard personnel Work measurement Comparative analysis Agency missions Budgets Homeland security Public Law 107-295 Public Law 107-296 Public Law 108-7 Public Law 108-11
