The US Coast Guard is not considered part of the Department of Defense; since 2003, it has been a part of the Department of Homeland Security. Prior to 2003, the USCG was part of the Department of Transportation. However, the USCG can be transferred over to the Department of Defense during wartime- the last time this happened was during World War II.
