Creates a pilot program to help Coast Guard units fight rust and keep equipment working.
This bill would create a new pilot program for the U.S. Coast Guard to better fight corrosion, or rust, on its equipment. It would set up specialized teams to visit Coast Guard units, offer expert advice, and provide training. This aims to keep Coast Guard ships and gear in better shape and last longer.
Currently, the Coast Guard does not have a dedicated pilot program to help its local units fight rust on their equipment. If this bill becomes law, the Coast Guard would create a "Corrosion Control Assistance Team Pilot Program" within 180 days. This program would send specialized teams to provide on-site help, training, and best practices to keep Coast Guard assets in better condition and extend their service life.
