No. It is under the Department of Homeland Security. It only became part of the Navy during World War Two.

The Coast Guard and Navy are similar in many, many ways but they are separate entities.

Nope, the Coast Guard is separate from the military. There's the Army and Navy, Air Force, Marines, and National Guard - the Coast Guard is separate from all of them.

The branches of the military are all distinct, Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines with the Department of the Navy also funding the Marines. Coast Guard is on its own however will be attached to the Navy for certain activities.

Actually, the Navy owns the Marines but is often considered a separate branch. The Army and Air Force use to be one branch but separated after World War II. The Coast Guard is also considered a branch of the military. National Guard is not a separate branch. Different branches have National Guard and Reserves.

The Coast Guard was part of the Department of Transportation, but now is part of the Department of Homeland Security. The Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps are part of the Department of Defense.Despite the common misconception, the Marine Corps is not part of the Navy; both the Navy and the Marine Corps are part of the Department of the Navy, but are separate branches.

No the US Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security.the USCG is NEVER "part" of the Navy not even when the USCG was with the DOT did it "join" the navy. Yes the USCG piloted boats for d-day WITH the navy but the navy and USCG were never "joined" they have always been separate branches. Just like these days with a few coast guard cutters over helping with this war the USCG is not part of the navy we just work together.
