TITLE 14--COAST GUARD
PART I--REGULAR COAST GUARD
CHAPTER 7--COOPERATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES
Sec. 145. Navy Department
(a) The Secretary of the Navy, at the request of the Secretary may,
with or without reimbursement for the cost thereof, as agreed:
(1) build any vessel for the Coast Guard at such Navy yards as
the Secretary of the Navy may designate;
(2) receive members of the Coast Guard for instruction in any
school, including any aviation school maintained by the Navy, and
such members shall be subject to the regulations governing such
schools; and
(3) permit personnel of the Coast Guard and their dependents to
occupy any public quarters maintained by the Navy and available for
the purpose.
(b) Officers and enlisted men of the Coast Guard shall be permitted
to purchase quartermaster supplies from the Navy and the Marine Corps at
the same price as is charged the officers and enlisted men of the Navy
and Marine Corps.
(c) When the Coast Guard is operating in the Department of Homeland
Security, the Secretary shall provide for such peacetime training and
planning of reserve strength and facilities as is necessary to insure an
organized, manned, and equipped Coast Guard when it is required for
wartime operation in the Navy. To this end, the Secretary of the Navy
for the Navy, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, for the Coast
Guard, may from time to time exchange such information, make available
to each other such personnel, vessels, facilities, and equipment, and
agree to undertake such assignments and functions for each other as they
may agree are necessary and advisable.
(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 506; Aug. 3, 1950, ch. 536, Sec. 3, 64
Stat. 406; Pub. L. 94-546, Sec. 1(11), Oct. 18, 1976, 90 Stat. 2519;
Pub. L. 98-557, Sec. 15(a)(3)(D), Oct. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 2865; Pub. L.
107-296, title XVII, Sec. 1704(a), Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2314.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Subsection (a) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Secs. 28, 42,
57 (Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601; July 3, 1926, ch. 742,
Sec. 11, 44 Stat. 817.) Subsection is enlarged to make reimbursement for
the building of ships or the training of personnel dependent on
agreement of the Secretaries, and to include all schools operated by the
Navy, rather than aviation schools only.
Subsection (b) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 31 (Mar.
6, 1920, ch. 94, Sec. 1, 41 Stat. 506).
Subsection (c) is new. This subsection enacts what has been the
practice of the Navy and Coast Guard in keeping the Coast Guard trained
to ``come on board with some muscle'' in time of emergency.
Section 3 of this title deals with the relationship of the Coast
Guard to the Navy Department. This section deals with cooperation with
the Navy. Whereas the status of the Coast Guard in time of war was
treated in chapter 1 of this title, this section has application in time
of peace when the Coast Guard is not under the Navy Department.
Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No.
