Who is in charge of the fuel program?

• A. Aeronautical Engineering, Commandant (CG-41)
• B. Chief of Staff
• C. Commandant of the Coast Guard
• D. Director of Aviation Maintenance

Answer: (A)

The fuel program is overseen by the Aeronautical Engineering division within the Commandant’s staff (CG-41). Fuel systems are a technical aviation engineering matter, so this office is responsible for establishing policy, standards, and oversight related to fuel handling, storage, quality control, and overall safety across Coast Guard aircraft. They coordinate with operations and maintenance to ensure fuel readiness and compliance with applicable standards.

The other offices mentioned serve broader or different roles: the Chief of Staff handles general administrative and staff functions, the Commandant of the Coast Guard is the top leader who delegates program-specific work, and the Director of Aviation Maintenance focuses on maintenance execution rather than program-wide policy and oversight.
