COMDTINST M5300.3 is supersededSuperseded No current publication under this number appears in the USCG Directives catalog (our index refresh of 2026-10-05) — we find no successor to link. If it was replaced, the successor may use a different number or series: check the subject on USCG Directives or search this site. Do not cite this edition as current guidance.
The official file for COMDTINST M5300.3 returns HTTP 404 when we checked on 2026-09-01. We have no publisher index for this series to say whether it moved or was withdrawn — only that the address on record no longer serves it. That is expected for a publication we record as superseded — portals remove the file once a publication leaves force. It is recorded here so the link does not simply fail in your hands.
Address on record: https://media.defense.gov/2017/Mar/16/2001717675/-1/-1/0/CIM_5300_3.PDF. We check the link by requesting it, not by assuming it works.
