	UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY - WHO WE ARE
		The United States Coast Guard is a military, multi-mission, maritime service within the Homeland Security Department and one of the nation's five armed services.
		Coast Guard Intelligence is unique in that it is the only IC member whose parent agency is both an armed force and a service organization with broad enforcement authorities.
		The Coast Guard stands ready to protect the nation, provide unique intelligence, and ensure that the ports, waterways, and coasts are safe and secure.

	KOMO : Seattle Gets First Of 4 Coast Guard 'SWAT' Teams
		Coast Guard intelligence workers poring over the cargo, passenger and crew lists of the 10,000 vessels that make U.S. port calls each year will flag certain vessels or people, and a security team will fly in.
		The Coast Guard is responsible for security at 361 U.S. ports, as well as on the country's 95,000 miles of coastline.
		The rules change is in part to guard against attacks similar to the one on the USS Cole, bombed by a small boat in the Yemeni port of Aden.

	Listening to the Rumrunners
		Intelligence operations against the rumrunners were thus a harbinger of what might be expected in the event the United States became involved in war on an international scale; and the experience gained between 1919 and 1935 was to prove of great value after 1940.
		As a result of this intercept, the Coast Guard was able to estimate the ship's location at 40°N 73°W. Root immediately ordered Iversen to monitor its frequency continuously and forward intercept by Special Delivery since her cipher was readable and analysis could lead to the discovery of her shore connection.
		The Intelligence Division had found that while the rumrunners realized that they were being intercepted and that the Coast Guard was trying to read their traffic, they usually relied on the infallibility of their cryptosystems until advised by an informant that the system had been broken.

		The Coast Guard is the newest member of the U.S. intelligence community, with a dual mission in law enforcement and national intelligence.
		Although the Coast Guard is one of the nation’s military services, its primary mission involves a federal law enforcement mandate: protecting the nation’s economic interests and preventing crimes committed on domestic waterways, including smuggling, illegal fishing, human trafficking and piracy.
		CGI considers the Coast Guard’s small size and the multiple skill sets of its personnel to be an asset on which it must capitalize in order to fulfill and expand its intelligence mission.

	Naval Institute Proceedings Magazine: Constancy Amid Great Change, by Admiral Thomas H. Collins, U.S. Coast Guard
		A 1999 Navy-Coast Guard intelligence assessment predicted a broad range of challenges to U.S. homeland security—migrant and drug smuggling; arms trafficking; proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and disruption; piracy and crimes at sea and in ports; terrorist attacks against ports and coastal population centers; overexploitation of maritime resources; environmental degradation; and more.
		The Coast Guard's command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) infrastructure is increasingly incapable of meeting the full-range of maritime domain awareness needs in critical operating areas.
		U.S. Overall, the budget request is adequate for the Coast Guard to cover maritime safety and security duties and start making critical improvements, such as buying new cutters and aircraft for deepwater missions, increasing personnel at understaffed small-boat stations, and buying a new maritime command, control, and response system.
