McLeod, Director of Prevention - (DIR-P) The annual Sector Long Island Sound Open House is sched- uled on Armed Forces Day every year. All the local and state emergency response partners participate in the event. The Coast Guard Auxiliary has a very large presence at the event with a lot of displays to interest children and to educate the adults. We, from the Research and Development Center, usu- ally have a table at the event to show the public some of the equipment and issues in which we are involved to make the boating community safer. This year, Sammy the Sea Otter visited us. Sammy was there for a book signing. I do not know who Sammy was, but pic- tured are Tim Hughes, Branch Chief, Science and Technolo- gy Innovation Center, United States Coast Guard Research and Development Center (white sleeves) and John McLeod at the Auxiliary table.

Seapower protects the American way of life. -A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower Every danger of a military character to which the United States is exposed can be met best outside her own territory-at sea. -Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan n 2007 the U.S. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy issued A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, representing the first time the three services I jointly crafted a maritime strategy. The document stresses the naval services' mutual commitment to protecting the homeland and winning and preventing wars. Proliferation of weapons and information technology to transnational threats and rogue states poses an increasing range of threats to U.S. security interests. In addition to threats from kinetic weapons, hybrid warfare threats (e.g., financial, cyber) pose new challenges for the sea services, demanding a coordinated strategy and response. To better understand how responsibility for security in the maritime domain is shared among the sea services, this chapter describes organization, mis­ sion, and capabilities of each. 157 158 Naval Officer's Guide The Department of the Navy The Department of the Navy (DON) is to "be organized, trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations at sea'' (Navy Regulations art. 0202).

  • Whither Goes the Coast Guard Has Been the Subject of ”Studies” and Articles for the Past Decade
    Whither goes the U.S. Coast Guard? © Richard C. Hiscock, 20 May 1990 As the United States Coast Guard prepares to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding, it becomes increasingly clear that this venerable service is suffering from an identity crisis. Whither goes the Coast Guard has been the subject of ”studies” and articles for the past decade. In the early 1980’s the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on the Coast Guard and Navigation, chaired by Congressman Gerry Studds (D) of Massachusetts, conducted a series of hearings on the service and published the much heralded report: Semi Paratus [1]. This report, more than any of those to follow, set the tone for the decade. The study suggested that the Coast Guard should ”give its highest priority to the performance of its at-sea operational missions ... to improving and modernizing aids to navigation.” To support these high priority missions the Committee stressed the need ”to perform essential training, particularly in law enforcement, to conduct a vigorous program of research and development, and to ensure the effective routine maintenance of its cutters, aircraft, and shoreside facilities.” The Committee recommended that the Coast Guard ”be relieved of any responsibilities which can be fulfilled with equal or greater competence and efficiency by other federal agencies, by state or local government, or by the private sector.” Responsibilities of which Coast Guard could be relieved, according to the Committee, included icebreaking, towing and salvage, bridge administration, and the Commercial Vessel Safety Program. In March 1982 the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a report titled Coast Guard Roles and Missions [2].

  • Special 2019 of the Marine Safety & Security Council
    S PECIAL WOMEN ’S H IG H LIG H T S I ss UE Special 2019 of the Marine Safety & Security Council PIONEERS & PRODIGIES Established in 1716, the U.S. Lighthouse Service and its lighthouse keepers shouldered the responsibility of keeping the waters safe for mariners. Any Coastie would tell you was the most famous keeper was Ida Lewis. Born on February 25, 1842, she began helping her parents tend the Lime Rock Light in Rhode Island when she was 15, and is credited with saving 18 lives. The U.S. Lighthouse Service consolidated with the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. From the Coast Guard collection Like the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. maritime community would not be what it is today without the strength of women who continue to make history and lead it into the 21st Century. It’s important to recognize that their contributions have given the U.S. one of the most diverse maritime communi- ties in the world. But there is more to be done, and we must continue to encourage women to join the maritime community to increase the diversity and overall effectiveness of our workforce. The perspective and skills of women in the U.S. maritime community continue to support a vibrant and effective industry that best serves our country. Our maritime community and national security will be stronger from their contributions and leadership. —Admiral Karl L. Schultz Commandant, United States Coast Guard Our World Maritime theme for this year is “Empowering Women in the Maritime Community.” Improving the participation of women in society leads to better social and economic outcomes.
