1. This ALCOAST announces the October 2021 Coast Guard Emergency Management Credential (CGEMC) Board results, which convened 4-8 October 2021 in accordance with REFs (A) and (B).
2. The CGEMC Board was established in 2021 to recommend Coast Guard personnel who have demonstrated the highest levels of expertise and proficiency in the field of Emergency Management (EM) for a credential. This credential is a cornerstone effort designed to advance crisis leadership skills within the Coast Guard by promoting the principles of EM. As outlined in REF (B), the CGEMC is available to any active duty (officer or enlisted), civilian, reserve (officer or enlisted), or auxiliary member who meets the training, experience, and test criteria, regardless of specialty or assigned duty station/position. The CGEMC Board process was modeled after the ICS Competency Review process.
