On September 20, 1913 he assumed command of USRC Onondaga which was homeported at Norfolk, Virginia. While commander, Chiswell discussed the possibility of using aircraft to aid search and rescue missions with junior officers Elmer F. Stone and Norman B. Hall.

Before the end of the war, he also commanded USS Gresham along the U.S. Atlantic Coast. In 1921 when U.S. Coast Guard officer ranks were aligned with U.S. Navy ranks, Chiswell was redesignated a lieutenant commander. He was subsequently promoted to commander on January 12, 1923 and then to captain on July 1, 1926. After serving as Assistant Commandant from 1929 to 1931, Chiswell was given command of the Norfolk Division of the Coast Guard. In October 1932, he assumed command of the New York Division. In early 1933, Chiswell became head of the newly created Eastern Area comprising the Boston, New York and Norfolk Divisions. At the time of his retirement in October 1934, Chiswell was promoted to rear admiral based on his wartime service record. (en)
