Title 14, Part 1, Chapter 1 of the United States Code reads "The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy."
So I'm guessing that an active duty Coastie's ID will read somwhere "Armed Forces of the United States".
I had one that read that when I was an active duty Marine, but my Marine Corps retired ID reads "United States Uniformed Services" at the top.
BTW, after the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, the other two uniformed services are the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps.
