The Boarding Officer Practical Course (BOPC) is a two-week course designed to qualify Coast Guard personnel as boarding officers, with a primary focus on reservists.
BOPC provides an accelerated qualification pathway that builds on existing law enforcement knowledge and experience, strengthening the Coast Guard Reserve’s ability to support maritime law enforcement.
For FY27, the Coast Guard has also introduced a new waiver process for members with qualifying civilian or federal law enforcement experience, recognizing the expertise they bring to the Service.

The U.S. Coast Guard is closing out fiscal year 2026 with strong results across its enlisted and officer accession programs.

We secured 5,445 active-duty enlisted recruits for FY26. This is the Coast Guard’s strongest enlisted recruiting output since 1987, surpassing the FY25 record of 5,204.

The Coast Guard also commissioned 346 active-duty officers to date, the second-highest total in recorded Service history.

The Coast Guard is also investing in the infrastructure needed to train its growing workforce. A $400 million contract for improvements at Training Center Cape May, New Jersey, will modernize facilities at the Service’s sole enlisted accession point. Planned improvements include new barracks, a multipurpose training facility, a new galley, a fire station and upgrades to training and quality-of-life facilities. The project is expected to increase annual training capacity from 5,500 recruits to more than 8,000 by 2030.

“We surpassed our recruiting goals because Americans are ready and willing to serve in the U.S. Coast Guard conducting exciting missions that deliver results our Nation needs,” said Adm. Tom Allan, vice commandant of the Coast Guard. “This momentum is about more than numbers; it is about being the world’s best Coast Guard and building the workforce America needs. We are proud to welcome our newest members and grateful to our recruiters for continuing to deliver exceptional results.”

From expanding our recruiting presence to investing in the facilities where enlisted members begin their Coast Guard careers, we continue to strengthen our workforce to meet current and future mission demands.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program (AUP) is shaping the next generation of leaders. College students across the country can join the Auxiliary and gain hands-on experience. They build leadership, incident management, and operational skills.

At more than 30 colleges and universities, young adults have a direct pathway to serve their country while completing their degree. AUP is a launch pad for leadership; students train alongside active-duty and auxiliary personnel in fields like IT, Environmental Response, Maritime strategy, and recreational boating safety- building real-world skills that matter.

Not all colleges and universities have a unit on campus; there is a virtual option if your school does not have a unit. And if you are interested, please visit www.cgauxedu.us.
