	Coast guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coast guards also enforce maritime law, maintain aids to navigation such as beacons and buoys, and provide other services for the benefit of mariners.
		Most coast guards are run on military lines and serve as an auxiliary to the national navy.
		In wartime the Coast Guard reports to the Secretary of the Navy but does not become part of the United States Navy; however, its boats and cutters are integrated into U.S. military operations.
