Which form is utilized for formal award routing?

The CG-1650 form is specifically designed for formal award routing within the Coast Guard. This form is utilized to document and process recommendations for awards, ensuring that all necessary information is captured and routed through the appropriate channels for approval. It includes sections for the details of the individual being nominated, the type of award, justification for the award, and endorsements from supervisors and commanders, ensuring a thorough review process.

Using the CG-1650 helps maintain standardization across the service when it comes to recognizing and rewarding performance. This form is crucial for contributing to morale and motivation among personnel, as awards recognize exemplary service and achievements. The structured approach of the CG-1650 aligns with the Coast Guard’s commitment to uphold high standards and provide recognition in a formalized manner.

The other forms have different purposes; for example, the CG-1600 is used for administering enlisted evaluations, while the CG-1700 relates to the Permanent Change of Station orders. The CG-1750 pertains to various administrative and logistical processes that do not specifically address award recommendations.
