These and other performance ex- perience and qualifications are now being tracked in the Officer Specialty Management System (OSMS). Officer Specialty codes are assigned to all billets. The report states, “Identifying requisite competencies for each billet provides a critical tool to improve workforce modeling and supports program requirements regarding acces- sions, training, billet assignments, and advanced education.” The Coast Guard also reported on its expanded recruitment and exposure to the prevention field careers for cadets of the Coast Guard Academy, officer candidates, and the direct commission- ing of Maritime Academy graduates. These sources are the first step in building awareness of the extensive role the Coast Guard plays in preven- tion missions. There is also a Marine Safety Training Program (MSTP) that introduces the cadets to Sector orga- nization and commercial vessel afloat roles before graduation. Actions specifically directed at Inspector General report recommenda- tions include providing a process and resources to review, track, and address all investigative reports included rec- ommendations. Coast Guard inspec- tion and intelligence databases do exist and can track investigation reports and any included recommendations as they progress from origin to review and Coast Guard Headquarters final- ization. These collection and utilization databases are created and under con- tinuing improvement to accomplish this tracking and utilization of report recommendations. Another source of important pro- grammatic information and recom- mendations are the Traveling Inspector reports. These reports often detail unique events, particular vessel con- ditions or circumstances that require experienced inspectors with particular expertise to analyze for the benefit of programmatic knowledge and address. “The Coast Guard has implemented a database and process to track, follow up, and address Traveling Marine Inspector Report recommendations.” This recommendation is considered closed by the Coast Guard. Another recommendation that is being addressed is “(p)rovide training and guidance to all investigations personnel on all enforcement options.” The Coast Guard response indicates that they are adopting a revision to the Suspension and Revocation (S&R) training course. It will adopt a self-
