{{rfcquote|text=
Does the scope of WP:MILHIST also include unarmed coast guards like the [[China Maritime Safety Administration|CMSA]] or the [[Canadian Coast Guard|Canadian coast guard]]? Additionally, do unarmed coast guards used for paramilitary purposes like the [[China Marine Surveillance|CMS]] fall under the scope of WP:MILHIST even though they are unarmed? On the same topic, do armed agencies with a civilian law enforcement role (like the [[CBP Air and Marine Operations]]) fall under WP:MILHIST?
If there are no rules on this yet, I propose one of 5 solutions:
# '''All coast guards fall under the scope of WP:MILHIST'''
# '''Only armed coast guards like the [[United States Coast Guard|USCG]] or [[China Coast Guard|CCG]] fall under the scope of WP:MILHIST'''
# '''Unarmed coast guards fall under the scope of WP:MILHIST if they are used for non-search and rescue military purposes (e.g. CMS)'''
# '''Unarmed coast guards fall under the scope of WP:MILHIST if they are organizationally under the military, such as [[Maritime Search and Rescue (Mexico)|Mexican Maritime Search and Rescue]]'''
# '''All armed coast guards with military weapons(e.g. CBPAMO) fall under WP:MILHIST regardless of role'''
