Relocation & Community Information
Juneau, the Capital City of Alaska, is the Home
of the 17th Coast Guard District Command Cadre. Juneau could be considered the
Hub of the 17th Coast Guard District in Alaska.
More than 1,900 members of "Team Coast
Guard" accomplish a wide variety of missions in the 17th District. In a
state that spans a distance normally covered by four time zones - with a
coastline larger than that of the Lower 48 - it is easy to see the importance of
the Coast Guard in Alaska.
More than 1,800 active-duty members serve in
Alaska. Helping with the missions are 400 Auxiliarists, 50 reservists and 140
civilian employees.
