United States Coast Guard (USCG) does not have medical officers or chaplains. As an alternative, Public Health Service and Navy chaplain’s officers are assigned to the Coast Guard to perform these functions. These officers wear Coast Guard uniforms but replace the Coast Guard insignia with that of their own service.
