What is the form used for preparing an award recommendation?

The CG 1650 is the official form used for preparing award recommendations within the Coast Guard. It is specifically designed to provide the necessary format and structure for documenting an individual's accomplishments and contributions that warrant recognition through an award. This form collects detailed information about the service member, the proposed award, and the justification for the award recommendation. Utilizing CG 1650 ensures that all relevant details are captured in a standard format, facilitating the review and approval process by the appropriate authorities. This submission plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and consistency of the award system across the Coast Guard.
