Admiral robert j. papp, jr. assumed the duties of the 24th Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard on May 25, 2010. He leads the largest component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), comprised of 42,000 active duty, 8,200 Reserve, 8,000 civilian

and 31,000 volunteer Auxiliarists.

The Coast Guard is “Semper Paratus” — Always Ready — to use its distinctive blend of military, humanitarian and law enforce-ment capabilities to save lives and property at sea, protect and main-tain our ports and maritime trans-portation system, secure our bor-ders, respond to natural disasters, protect our marine environment and defend our Nation.

The Coast Guard is also Amer-ica’s oldest continuous seagoing service and one of the Nation’s five armed services. We trace our histo-ry back to August 4, 1790, when the first Congress authorized the construction of ten vessels to enforce tariff and trade laws and to prevent smug-gling. Our people are committed to the Coast Guard’s core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty.

As a flag officer, Admiral Papp served as Command-er, Coast Guard Atlantic Area, where he was operation-al commander for all U.S. Coast Guard missions within the eastern half of the world and provided support to the Department of Defense; as the Chief of Staff of the Coast Guard and Commanding Officer of Coast Guard Headquarters; as Commander, Ninth Coast Guard Dis-trict, with responsibilities for Coast Guard missions on the Great Lakes and Northern Border; and as Director of Reserve and Training where he was responsible for

managing and supporting 13,000 Coast Guard Ready Reservists and all Coast Guard Training Centers.

Admiral Papp has served in six Coast Guard Cutters, com-manding four of them: Red Beech, Papaw, Forward, and the training barque Eagle. He also served as commander of a task unit dur-ing Operation Able Manner off the coast of Haiti in 1994, enforcing United Nations Sanctions. Addi-tionally, his task unit augmented U.S. Naval Forces during Opera-tion Uphold Democracy.

He is a 1975 graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy. Additionally, he holds a Master of Arts in National Security and Strate-gic Studies from the United States Naval War College and a Master of Science in Management from Salve Regina College.

Admiral Papp is the 13th Gold Ancient Mariner of the Coast Guard. The Gold Ancient Mariner is an hon-orary position held by an officer with over ten years of cumulative sea duty who has held the qualification as a Cutterman longer than any other officer.

Admiral Papp is a native of Norwich, Connecticut. He is married to the former Linda Kapral of East Lyme, Connecticut. Admiral and Mrs. Papp have three daugh-ters and two granddaughters.

the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families. The Foundation is governed by a Board of 100 Trustees from all parts of the country.

The Trustees elect from their members a 30-person Board of Directors to oversee the management of the Foundation. Located in Stonington, Connecticut, the

Foundation employs a staff of 12 civilians responsible for meeting the Foundation’s objectives and working closely with the Coast Guard on all issues.
