After the United States was battered by one of the worst hurricane seasons in recent history, the Coast Guard seems more relevant than ever.
But Coast Guard Commandant Paul Zukunft says the service will be hampered if Congress can’t pass a budget in the next month.
“Most of [the issues] would be felt in our acquisition portfolio, any new starts. It’s very difficult in a continuing resolution to get anomalies. If you get an anomaly as one service then you kind of open it up that everyone needs an anomaly. What we really need is a final appropriation,†Zukunft said in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio on Jan. 10.
