Officer-in-charge
The term officer-in-charge is the term used by the Coast Guard when the head of a unit is not commissioned; i.e. a chief petty officer or petty officer. They have authority to act in most instances when there is no officer at that station, cutter, or unit. Certain Uniform Code of Military Justice actions shall be referred up the officer-in-charge's chain of command for an commissioned officer to handle. Cuprum17 (talk) 14:24, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, but the head of a recruiting office does not have those authorities granted to officers in charge of stations or cutters. That is why they are assigned as recruiters in charge and not officer in charge. Matty1339 (talk) 22:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
