	The United States Coast Guard
		Coast Guard units play critical roles in peacetime forward presence, humanitarian support, peacekeeping and enforcement, crisis-response, and combat operations across the spectrum of U.S. global engagement in support of the National Military Strategy's concepts of Shape, Respond, and Prepare.

		In these arenas, the Coast Guard is the primary enforcer of U.S. laws and treaties that include customs and border control, protection of living marine resources, safeguarding the marine environment, fighting piracy, interdicting illegal immigrants and contraband, counterdrug operations, and helping to stem weapons proliferation.
