In the United States Coast Guard, the rank CD-R stands for Chief Damage Controlman. This is a senior enlisted rank, typically responsible for leading and supervising damage control operations aboard ships or shore facilities. CD-Rs are highly trained in firefighting, shipboard safety, and damage control procedures.
