WOMEN AND MEN EQUAL IN COAST GUARD The US. Coast Guard has removed all restrictions based solely on sex in the utilization of its personnel, Admiral John B. Hayea said today. As the result of recent policy decisions, all women graduates of the US. Coast Guard Academy like the men, will be assigned to sea duty for their initial toun as commissioned officers. Mixed-sex crews may now be assigned to any Coast Guard unit afloat or fihore, which can provide reasonable privacy for each sex in berthing and personal hygiene. Numerical ceilings based on sex have been removed from recruiting quotas. Administrative restrictions based on sex have been removed in relation to training, advancement and specific job assignments. Women previously have been excluded from the Fire Control Technicians, Gunnerd Mate and Sonar Technician ratings. AH officer career fields and aU enlisted ratings will be open to military personnel of ei ther sex. Admiral Hayes said that "The result of this group of concurrent decisions is that all action remaining within the power of mjy office has been taken to assure that henceforth there will be absolutely no arbitrary restrictions based solely upon sex in the way the Coast Guard uses its people. "Of course there are anatomical differences which cannot be ignored, but these can

be accommodated as incidental matters, in areas such as medical support, and not allwed to ovdrride the really important factors. We need the very best effort and talen* that each person is able to provide to assure that our great service remains the unique and efficient agency the American taxpayer has come to know it to be. Admiral Hayes has terminated the recent practice of limiting seagoing assignment of women, both officer and enlisted, to just two spedficaUy designated

cutters.

The Coast Guard first assigned women to two large cutters with modem facilities in 1977. Subsequent experience with these mixed-sex crews has shown that • primary consideration is providing adequate privacy for both men and women. In the future mixed-sex crews may be assigned to any Coast Guard unit, afloat or ashore which can provide reasonable privacy for each sex in berthing and personal hygiene. Personnel assignment officers will have to add to their various assignment considerations the physical arrangements of the particular Coast Guard unit concerned on a case by case basis, to determine the number of each sex which

can be accommodated.
