HLSCG The U.S. Coast Guard reminds members of the maritime community that security plans for vessels and facilities affected by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 are due to the Coast Guard by the end of this month, and warns that it may impose civil penalties for not complying with the requirement. The U.S. Coast Guard is a Military, Maritime, Multi-Mission Service under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security dedicated to protecting the Safety and Security of America. It also has command responsibilities for the U.S. Maritime Defense Zone, countering potential threats to American's coasts, ports, and inland waterways through numerous port-security, harbor-defense, and coastal-warfare operations and exercises. www.davesems.com /HLSCG.html

United States Coast Guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Coast Guard carries out five basic missions: Maritime Safety, Maritime Mobility, Maritime Security, National Defense, and Protection of Natural Resources. Port security units also accompanied the U.S. military buildup. The Coast Guard is responsible for the security of 361 U.S. ports and 95,000 miles (150,000 km) of waterways. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard

A Seam in Our Force National defense is one of the Coast Guard's most important missions, and the service has worked closely with the Navy since 1797--and, since 1947, with DOD as well--to safeguard U.S. maritime security. Trained in a variety of small-boat tactics that are particularly useful within crowded harbors and ports, PSUs are ready to defeat high-speed waterborne craft, swimmer-delivery vehicles, and special operations swimmers, to maintain safety and security zones, to inspect suspect vessels, and to carry out numerous other tasks, some of them highly classified. Several Coast Guard Port Security and Waterways Details traveled throughout the Republic of Vietnam, inspecting ports, harbors, and inland waterway facilities for security against attack and, among other tasks, ensuring the safe storage of munitions and other hazardous materials. www.navyleague.org /seapower_mag/feb2001/seam_in_force.htm

Shipping, shipbuilding, offshore news The new "Defender Class" boats will replace nearly 300 non-standard shore based boats and provide a standardized platform for the Coast Guard's new Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSST's) which were established as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The boats have increased maneuverability and are capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots (46 mph) with twin outboard engines. The 25 ft Response Boats, "add valuable capability to the Coast Guard as well as being more efficient in terms of training and costs," said Capt. James Maes, Acting Chief, Office of Boat Forces. www.marinelog.com /DOCS/NEWSMMIII/MMIIIApr4.html

The General Services Administration (GSA), experts in smart card technology development, was commissioned to develop a maritime smart card requirements analysis using information and data gathered from joint planning meetings comprised of a cross-section of the maritime industry and the Coast Guard. bridgedeck.org /mmp_htmlcode/mmp_news_archive/2001/mmp_news_011026.html   (1848 words)

Canada-US Relations - Defence Alliance - Maritime Security - CASR - Canadian American Strategic Review In December 2002, the United States released a Maritime Strategy for Homeland Security, a document that reaffirmed the United States Coast Guard’s (USCG) role as the lead agency in American maritime security, and promised to improve port security and maritime domain awareness. To ensure that the USCG will be better equipped to meet current and emerging maritime threats, the United States has funded a USCG recapitalization program, the Integrated Deepwater System (IDS). If intelligence assets are effective, the number of platforms required to survey maritime domains – and to intercept suspicious vessels – becomes both affordable and sustainable over time. www.sfu.ca /casr/ft-sr-lagasse1-2.htm   (1848 words)

Strategic Insights -- An Interagency Approach To U.S. Port Security Despite the USCG role in military operations, its role in terms of homeland security is primarily civil law enforcement related; therefore, its participation is termed “quasi-military” for the purposes of this essay. The USCG, ICE and CBP (and TSA to the degree it has resources to deploy) should coordinate their efforts in the MTS domain, because each owns a “piece of the puzzle.” As suggested, the MTS is really a holistic transportation system, and attempts to break it down into limited bureaucratic responsibilities will ultimately reduce security. USCG officers Ross and Coleman developed this notion in detail in a 2003 Homeland Security Journal article[17], wherein they stressed the importance of drawing on the precedents of joint military education. www.ccc.nps.navy.mil /si/2005/Feb/henriksonfeb05.asp   (4972 words)

Port Security, Coastal Patrol, & Maritime Defence - CASR - Canadian American Strategic Review Although originally conceived with 'deepwater' missions in mind, their suitability for a wide range of homeland-security operations is clear. Although part of the US military, the Coast Guard must rely on the back-up of the Navy when the nation's security is at risk. In addition to its contributions to maritime domain awareness, Deepwater 's C4ISR system will allow operational commanders to share a common 'picture', so that they can employ forces more productively, and manage risk wisely. www.sfu.ca /casr/ft-collins1-2.htm   (4972 words)

Port Security, Coastal Patrol, & Maritime Defence - CASR - Canadian American Strategic Review The ability to exchange both distress and security-related data between surface, air, and shore assets will serve as a force multiplier both in the prosecution of SAR (search-and-rescue) emergencies and in our ability to acquire maritime domain awareness, greatly improving the effectiveness of harbor-security operations. Also in February, the 110-foot USCGC Matagorda became the first of our 49 Island-class patrol boats to enter the Bollinger shipyard in Lockport, Louisiana, to undergo conversion to a 123-foot vessel with upgraded operational capabilities. New maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters, and VUAVs will improve significantly our surface-surveillance capacity and capabilities. www.sfu.ca /casr/ft-collins1-2.htm   (367 words)

Eventually, the boat was anchored within a few feet of the group's floating dive flag, which is often used by student divers as they surface from a dive. At that time, groups of student divers -- completely unaware that a boat was now anchored adjacent to the dive float -- were exiting the water, and they often use the rope attached to the dive float during their ascents. www.diverhead.com /viewtopic.php?t=252   (1642 words)

Cutter Crew Eyes Drugs, Migrants, U.S. Ports - Law Enforcement The maritime mission is one of five outlined in the 2002 Homeland Security Act, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 focused attention on stemming the flow of undocumented aliens entering the country from Cuba and Caribbean countries such as Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The 270-foot cutter is one of 13 medium-endurance vessels in the service, six of which are based here at the Coast Guard Integrated Support Command. Although fighting the nation's war on drugs by catching smugglers has become one a primary mission of cutters like the Tampa, the ship and its crew also are heavily involved in the war on terror by helping to interdict migrants trying to enter the United States illegally. www.lawenforcementtalk.com /Cutter_Crew_Eyes_Drugs__Migrants__U_S__Ports-2413765-265-a.html   (1642 words)
