    John A. Adams ’71 Center for Military History and Strategic Analysis. Cold War Oral History Project Interview with Captain Lloyd Burger USCG (Ret.) by Cadet Anthony T. Bradley, April 7, 2006 ©Adams Center, Virginia Military Institute About the interviewer: Cadet Anthony T. Bradley ('07), International Studies Major, History Minor from Queens, NY, will be commissioning in the U.S. Navy, pursuing a career in naval aviation. Bradley: Good day, sir. Today, 7 April 2006, I, Cadet Anthony T. Bradley of the Virginia Military Institute, will be interviewing Captain Lloyd Burger of the United States Coast Guard for the John A. Adams Class of 1971 Center for Military History and Strategic Analysis as part of the requirements for History 391— History of Sea Power in the 20th Century. The captain now lives in Raphine, Virginia and is enjoying his retirement from military service with his family. Thank you for being here sir. Burger: Thank you for inviting me. Bradley: First I would like to give a brief overview of the United States Coast Guard because many people are not aware of its rich history and important mission. Established 4 August 1790, the United States Coast Guard is one of the United States’ five armed services. The first Congress authorized the construction of 10 vessels to enforce tariff and trade laws, prevent smuggling and protect the collection of the federal revenue. Known variously as the Revenue Marines and the Revenue Cutter Service, it expanded in size and responsibilities as the nation grew. These added responsibilities which included humanitarian duties such as aiding mariners in distress and law enforcement functions also continued to expand.

  • Maritime 20 RISK OCT
    Maritime 20 RISK OCT. 26-30,2020 OCT. UIUC Symposium 20 Welcome to the Maritime Risk Symposium 2020 The Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI), a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, is host of the 11th Annual Maritime Risk Symposium (MRS 2020) in collaboration with the National Academy of Sciences. The theme of MRS 2020 is “Maritime Resilience in Black Swan Events.” DHS defines resilient infrastructure systems as the “ability of systems, infrastructures, government, business, communities, and individuals to resist, tolerate, absorb, recover from, prepare for, or adapt to an adverse occurrence that causes harm, destruction, or loss of national significance.” Through presentations, panels and open forums, the symposium will focus on the attributes of resilience to adversarial events of national significance in the maritime domain, using our experience with COVID-19 as a driver for the discussion. The objective is less about the specific impacts COVID-19 had and is having, and more on how that event informs us on resiliency for future global upsets, in terms of what works, what gaps have been exposed, and what research questions ought to be studied as a first step towards enhancing Maritime Resilience. Agenda 26 All times are in Central Time.

  • Coast Guard Auxiliary .Pdf
    U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY POLICY STATEMENT The U.S. Coast Guard is America’s maritime first responder and stands ready to protect the public from all threats and all hazards. All members of the Coast Guard forces play a critical role in every mission area – supporting maritime security, safety and stewardship. The Coast Guard Auxiliary provides capabilities and proficiencies that support these capacities and ensure we remain responsive to our communities and the Nation. The Auxiliary is a force multiplier of vetted and trained volunteers devoted to the support of Coast Guard missions and provides a broad inventory of vital skills, assets, and experience for our units across the nation. As the leading volunteer organization in the Department of Homeland Security, it is an essential component of our daily operations and an effective resource primed to prevent and respond to catastrophes in the maritime region. Fittingly, the core strategic purpose of the Auxiliary is to continuously hone its expertise to perform three prioritized functions: (1) Promote and improve recreational boating safety; (2) Support Coast Guard maritime homeland security efforts; and (3) Support the Coast Guard’s operational, administrative, and logistical requirements. The Coast Guard Auxiliary shall remain Semper Paratus, providing a dynamic flexibility within its organizational programs in order to meet today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges. Through focused partnerships and public outreach, it shall advocate and advance maritime domain awareness and the principles of safe boating. Its diverse assortment of vessels, aircraft, radio facilities, and vehicles shall be kept poised for the multi-mission tasking that characterizes Coast Guard operations.

  • 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].
