Year: 2019 Language: English Author: U.S. Coast Guard Genre: Handbook Edition: 16 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 184 Description: Under the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is at all times an armed force—a full time military, multi-mission, maritime organization with a true peacetime mission. The USCG work force of 91,000 active duty, auxiliary, reserve, and civilian personnel and more than 2200 vessels and aircraft and 1200 shore locations makes it the world’s greatest coast guard. Structured to meet the diverse missions assigned, the command and control network allows decentralized responsibility and authority. Primary organizational elements include USCG Headquarters; two area commands; nine district commands; thirty five sectors; and field and headquarters units such as training centers. Committed to its reputation as a multifaceted organization with its distinctive blend of military, humanitarian, maritime safety and security, and civilian law-enforcement capabilities, the USCG has a vital international role in support of regional and national security strategies. The USCG provides assistance and training for which the USCG is “especially qualified” to citizens of other countries. This assistance is provided under the authority of 14 USC 141(a) and the Economy Act 31 USC 1535, which requires reimbursement from the assisted federal agencies. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended in sec 545 (22 USC 2347d) specifically authorizes training in maritime skills under the international military education and training program. Globally recognized as a master in accomplishing each of the duties with which it has been entrusted throughout its 228-year history, the USCG has also been a leader in using limited resources. The USCG’S main mission areas are maritime safety, maritime mobility, maritime security, national defense, and protection of natural resources. These mission areas encompass operations in aids to navigation, national defense and international engagement, pollution prevention and environmental response, ice conditions, maritime law enforcement, marine inspection, marine licensing, marine science activities, port safety and security, search and rescue, and waterways management. These capabilities are in great demand throughout the world. For example, proficiencies used to interdict narcotics or migrants are also recognized in wider application to assist other nations to combat the global threat of terrorism, threats to maritime safety and security or in areas of piracy, trafficking in persons or interdicting weapons of mass destruction. The ability of the USCG to interface successfully with many diverse agencies stands as an example of interagency, interoperability, cooperation and command communication.
