The Secretary may at any time convene a board of officers to
review the record of any officer of the Regular Coast Guard to
determine whether he shall be required to show cause for his
retention on active duty -

standards prescribed by the Secretary, or
(2) because of moral dereliction, professional dereliction, or
because his retention is not clearly consistent with the
interests of national security.
