This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coast Guard Publication 3-0 Operations February 2012 The Coast Guard's value to the nation resides in our proven ability to accomplish the mission in the maritime domain, whether through saving lives, protecting the marine environment, or defending our country. Our unique authorities, capabilities, competencies, and partnerships as a military, law enforcement, regulatory, and humanitarian Service are central to that value proposition. We are recognized worldwide for our ability to execute these diverse maritime missions over vast geographic areas and under the most challenging and demanding conditions. Publication 3-0 provides the enduring guidance for Coast Guard operations: how and why we do what we do. This guidance is based on over two centuries of Coast Guard experience in maritime operations and the principles of operations provided in Publication 1-0. Two fundamental elements to operations warrant special emphasis: leadership and proficiency. We rely on leadership at every level of command to conduct operations safely and effectively in an inherently dangerous maritime environment. We rely on proficiency in the operational arts of our profession-seamanship, airmanship, law enforcement, joint military and interagency operations. And operations rely on proficiency in mission support and other key enabling disciplines.

This book was released on 2017-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1790, the First Congress of the United States established a small maritime law enforcement component within the Treasury Department to assist in collecting the new Nation's customs duties. For the next eight years, this Revenue Marine (later called the Revenue Cutter Service) was the Nation's only naval force and was soon assigned military duties. Over time, the Revenue Cutter Service merged with or absorbed other federal agencies. The Service acquired new responsibilities based upon its ability to perform them with existing assets and minimal disruption to its other duties. In some cases, the Service absorbed other agencies because their maritime responsibilities were seen as intersecting with or complementing its own. The result is today's U.S. Coast Guard-a unique force that carries out an array of civil and military responsibilities touching every facet of the maritime environment of the United States. The Coast Guard's distinct blend of authorities, capabilities, competencies, and partnerships provide the President, Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of Defense, and other national leaders with the capabilities to lead or support a range of operations to ensure safety, security, and stewardship in the maritime domain. The interrelated nature of the Coast Guard's missions and culture of adaptability provides the Service with the ability to rapidly shift from one mission to another as national priorities demand. The true value of the Coast Guard to the Nation is not in its ability to perform any single mission, but Publication 1 (Pub 1) explains who we are and what we do. It describes the fundamental roles and forces of today's Coast Guard. In keeping with our military nature, Pub 1 is consistent with Joint Publication 1 (JP 1), which is the capstone doctrine for unified action by the Armed Forces of the United States. It also aligns with Naval Doctrine Publication 1 (NDP 1), which describes how the U.S. Naval Services operate as an integrated force across a range of military operations. However, while we are a military service and a branch of the Armed Forces of the United States at all times, defense readiness is only one of the Coast Guard's missions. Pub 1 describes the full spectrum of our Service responsibilities. This document traces our history to explain how the Coast Guard acquired its diverse mission set. It explains the unique characteristics and qualities-derived from our history, roles, and missions-that collectively define who we are. Finally, it lays out principles of operations that flow from our particular organizational nature and identity. In other words, it also describes how we do things. The principles of operations discussed in this publication are Coast Guard doctrine; rooted in our history and distilled from hard won experience, they are fundamental concepts that guide our actions in support of the Nation's objectives. They provide a shared interpretation of the past and a common starting point for thinking about future directions. Together with training and experience, this shared outlook leads to disciplined action. Because this doctrine is rooted in history, it is enduring. But it also evolves in response to changes in the geo-political and strategic landscape, lessons from current operations, and the introduction of new technologies. Doctrine influences the way policy and plans are developed, forces are organized, trained and employed, and equipment is procured and maintained. It promotes unity of purpose, guides professional judgment, and enables Coast Guard active duty, reserve, civilian, and auxiliary men and women to best fulfill their responsibilities. Pub 1 tells us how we became-and why we are-the United States Coast Guard.

This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coast Guard Publication 3-28 Incident Management and Crisis Response June 2014 Incident management and crisis response are critical functions that span all Coast Guard missions. Whether a search and rescue case, oil spill, security event, marine transportation disruption, or any other maritime disturbance, the Coast Guard must be ready to respond with swift, well coordinated actions to ensure the safety, security, and stewardship of the Nation's waters. Locally based, nationally deployed, and globally connected, the Coast Guard is uniquely positioned to respond to, and lead, incidents within the maritime domain. Response success is not only defined by our on-scene actions during the incident. Preparedness for crisis response, including development of important interagency and private sector stakeholder relationships and improving mission proficiency, requires deliberate actions before, during and after the event. Many critical crisis response activities grow rapidly and exponentially during a major event, including engagement with public officials and media; deploying a robust liaison network; management of immense information demands; need for increased logistics management capabilities; and understanding and effectively employing surge forces including deployable specialized forces, Reserves and the Auxiliary. Since 1790, the Coast Guard has safeguarded our Nation's maritime interests and natural resources on our rivers, in our ports, in the littoral regions and on the high seas. However, today's maritime environment has evolved dramatically since America's founding. There is an ever increasing number of stakeholders in the maritime domain. In both its daily operations, and especially during incident management activities, the Coast Guard must balance the sometimes competing interests of stakeholders such as commerce, recreation, fisheries, energy, and the environment. Today's environment includes a 24-hour news cycle, increased demands from decision makers, and higher expectations from the public to assist potential victims and make response decisions that are in America's best interest. Traditional response activities, focused on achieving successful resolution of the incident, with minimal adverse consequences and rapid restoration of public services, may not sufficiently address the strategic considerations of crisis response. National public, media, and political interest demand coequal consideration of information flow, both to local media and to Coast Guard leaders who, though not directly involved in the response, span the border between the incident and the larger "event: ' To provide for the needs of the Nation, the Coast Guard must plan and conduct its activities with an understanding of our mission, our external environment, how we operate and our statutory authorities, capabilities, competencies and partnerships. The Coast Guard must be a forward leaning, engaged organization ready with appropriate resources, confident in its contingency plans, and able to clearly communicate its response actions and capabilities to the public. Flexibility and proficiency, gained through preparedness activities, readies the Coast Guard for unexpected challenges.
Download or read book International Law for Seagoing Officers 7th Edition written by Craig H Allen and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh edition of this Blue and Gold Series book brings clarity and context to international law for the seagoing professional. This book is the only work that addresses the international law of the sea from the perspective of the United States. For those who operate on, under and over the sea, international law can sometimes be as complex as it is important. Written by the same former seagoing officer and maritime law professional who authored the current edition of Farwell’s Rules of the Nautical Road, this book was designed to bring clarity and context to international law for the seagoing professional. Following an introduction to public international law and a short history of the law of the sea, the book describes the rules that apply in ports and in the adjacent maritime zones, including the territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, archipelagic waters, and the high seas. A highlight of the book are the chapters that focus on subjects of greatest interest to the seagoing professional, including military and intelligence activities in the maritime domain, maritime law enforcement activities and the use of force at sea. The appendices include the text of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the U.S. Senate’s “understandings” of key provisions of the convention. Whether an academy cadet, a midshipman, a seasoned commanding officer, or master mariner, readers of this thorough and timely book will be rewarded with a far greater understanding of the international laws that govern ships and mariners at sea. New in this edition: Over a dozen new cases by courts and arbitration panels interpreting UNCLOS, including the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China. Coverage of Commercial Seafarer protections under Maritime Labor Convention. Global Responses to the Mediterranean Migrant Crisis. Coverage of the law protecting our vital submarine cables. Expanded coverage of unmanned and autonomous vessels and aircraft. Coverage on vessel health safety and quarantine measures applicable in the COVID-19 Pandemic. A new chapter surveying issues the U.S. Senate should consider in any decision regarding ratification of UNCLOS. A new appendix setting out the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard policies on sovereign immunity of government vessels and aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces". Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9".

Download or read book Space Capstone Publication Spacepower written by Us Government United States Space Force and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Space Capstone Publication Spacepower: Doctrine for Space Forces, is capstone doctrine for the United States Space Force and represents our Service's first articulation of an independent theory of spacepower. This publication answers why spacepower is vital for our Nation, how military spacepower is employed, who military space forces are, and what military space forces value. In short, this capstone document is the foundation of our professional body of knowledge as we forge an independent military Service committed to space operations. Like all doctrine, the SCP remains subject to the policies and strategies that govern its employment. Military spacepower has deterrent and coercive capacities - it provides independent options for National and Joint leadership but achieves its greatest potential when integrated with other forms of military power. As we grow spacepower theory and doctrine, we must do so in a way that fosters greater integration with the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. It is only by achieving true integration and interdependence that we can hope to unlock spacepower's full potential.
