Who is responsible for real property?

• A. Commandant CG-43
• B. CG 2596
• C. Deviation table
• D. Quick Flashing

Answer: (B)

Real property accountability is assigned to the official or office within a unit that handles facilities records and stewardship. The Coast Guard uses a formal designation to indicate who holds that responsibility, and in this context the CG 2596 designation represents the person or office charged with managing and accounting for real property—land, buildings, and improvements—within the unit. This includes keeping accurate records, ensuring proper maintenance and compliance, and handling disposal when needed. The other options don’t pertain to who is responsible for property records or the stewardship of facilities, so they aren’t the appropriate designation for real property accountability.
