The Coast Guard, like the Department of Defense
services, is faced with the problems of system-wide
social change and the need to manage the integration
of individual and organizational goals. A
comparative/descriptive analysis of preliminary and
institutionalized OD efforts by the various U.S. Armed
Forces to respond to these social pressures is
presented. The purpose of this study is to provide
inputs and recommendations for general policy use by
Coast Guard planners, in light of the Defense
services' efforts, regarding the feasibility,
establishment, and management of a Coast Guard OD
program.
