The Coast Guard

The Coast Guard is a maritime security organization responsible for safeguarding the United States' waters. They conduct search and rescue missions, enforce maritime laws, protect the environment, and ensure safe navigation for vessels. They also assist in national defense, inspection of ships and ports, and prevent illegal activities like smuggling. Operating both on water and in the air, the Coast Guard plays a vital role in maintaining maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship, working closely with other agencies to protect U.S. interests at sea.
