Adm. Kevin Lunday will be nominated to serve as the 28th commandant of the Coast Guard, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday at the service academy’s 144th commencement in New London, Conn.
Lunday will continue serving as acting commandant until confirmed by the Senate. He has been serving in that role since January.
Earlier in her presentation, Noem said the administration would begin implementing “Force Design 2028,” which she described as a “roadmap to revolutionize the Coast Guard.”
Force Design 2028 focuses on people; organization; acquisition; contracting and technology.
The Force Design 2028 organization strategy calls for the creation of a service secretary reporting to the secretary of homeland security. All of the armed forces in the Department of Defense already have civilian service secretaries. When the Coast Guard is operated with the Navy, the secretary would advise its secretary on Coast Guard matters.
