Welcome to the National Cuttermen Chapter!

Mission

The purpose of the National Cuttermen Chapter is to represent the professional values of all those who are interested in the promotion of Cuttermen as a community and the U.S. Coast Guard fleet as well as Surface Naval Forces as an integral part of the United States Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Toward that end, this Chapter serves as The Professional Association for Surface Warfare and Cutter Operations throughout the globe for Cuttermen not associated with other SNA chapters.

Purpose

It is the aim of this Chapter to promote recognition of the continuing contributions of the United States Coast Guard, Surface Naval Forces, and Navy to the security of the United States among key decision makers and educators. To that end we will:

• Recognizing the continuing contributions of the United States Navy & Coast Guard’s Surface Forces in regards to the security of the United States
• Showcasing professional excellence within the Surface Naval Forces
• Dealing with the challenges that are faced as Surface Naval Forces in regards to National Security
• Nurturing communication among military, academic, and business communities
• Enhancing and Preserving the Heritage of Surface Naval Forces
• Providing forums on professional matters affecting Surface Naval Forces and the United States Navy and Coast Guard

It is our firm belief that Cuttermen, officer and enlisted, along with the men and women of Surface Navy represent the core of our naval capability as a nation and as a naval force without peer. We completely support the readiness, morale, and professional capability of the surface force. We are united in our resolve that these forces, and the professional Cuttermen and Sailors who give them life, are key and essential components of the security of the United States, now and in the next century.
