Ever feel like your unit could use a little TLC? Like maybe the duty room looks like it hasn't been touched since the '80s? Well, things are about to change thanks to Operation Restore Habitability!
Launched by Force Design 2028 and led by the Coast Guard Chiefs, Operation Restore Habitability focuses on small but significant improvements to your units. Teams of engineering and procurement experts, along with District and Senior Enlisted Leaders, travel throughout the districts to identify and resolve habitability and maintenance issues with direct mission impact.
Operational readiness and quality of life are inseparable – you can’t have one without the other. Operation Restore Habitability prioritizes quick repair and replacement in kind projects – like painting, flooring, windows, and roofing – to provide safe and adequate facilities.
This isn't some big, complicated, headquarters initiative. This is about making real, noticeable improvements at your unit. Think of it as a quick-fix solution for those nagging little things that impact your day-to-day life. We're talking painting, replacing worn-out flooring, fixing leaky windows, patching up the roof – the kind of stuff that can make a huge difference in morale and getting the mission done.
Here's the cool part: Teams packed with engineering and procurement gurus, led by a Senior Enlisted Leader – Rapid Infrastructure Project Implementation Team (RIPIT) – are hitting up units in your district. They may even cut the check right then and there. This isn’t about endless paperwork and waiting months for approval. This is about fast action, fast results.
Through coordinated field-level teamwork between units, Districts, CG-SHORE, and LOGCOM, Op Restore Habitability will restore operational capability, reduce maintenance burden, and improve quality of life.
Why is this important? Because your comfort and operational readiness go hand-in-hand. Plain and simple: You can't perform at your peak in a neglected environment. You deserve a workspace that's safe, clean, and functional, one you can be proud of.
So, keep your eyes peeled. Operation Restore Habitability is coming to a unit near you, and it’s all about making things better for the Coast Guard members who keep this country safe!
All of these strategic investments are not just about bricks and mortar; they are about building a stronger, more capable Coast Guard for the future, and a brighter, more comfortable experience for our workforce.
The Coast Guard is building! Stay tuned to MyCG for more about the efforts underway to make your workplaces and homes safer and more comfortable.
