An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog: Congress Authorizes 10,000 CG Reservists

By a vote of 384-23 on May 22, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to increase the size of the USCGR to 10,000 members - an increase of 1,900 members from the present end strength of 8,100 reservists.

This important provision was tucked inside the 700 + pages of H.R. 5658, the FY 2009 National Defense Authorization Act.
