Book excerpt: The Extraordinary Story Of The U.S. Coast Guard Since its founding more than two hundred years ago, the United States Coast Guard has rescued over a million people. On any given day, "Coasties" respond to 125 distress calls and save over a dozen lives. Yet despite having more than 50,000 active-duty and reserve members on every ocean and on our nation's coasts, great lakes, and rivers, most of us know very little about this often neglected but crucial branch of the military. In Rescue Warriors, award-winning journalist David Helvarg brings us into the daily lives of Coasties, filled with a salty maritime mix of altruism and adrenaline, as well as dozens of death-defying rescues at sea and on hurricane-ravaged shores. Helvarg spent two years with the men and women of the Coast Guard, from the halls of their academy in New London, Connecticut, to the frigid, storm-tossed waters of Alaska's Bering Sea, to the northern Persian Gulf, where they currently guard Iraqi oil terminals. The result is a masterpiece of adventure reporting---the definitive book on America's "forgotten heroes."
Download or read book U S Coast Guard Addendum to the United States National Search and Rescue Supplement NSS to the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual IAMSAR written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission and purpose of the Coast Guard’s Search and Rescue (SAR) Program is to prevent death or injury to persons and loss or damage to property in the marine environment. The overall success of the Coast Guard’s SAR program depends on many separate efforts, including SAR program management (doctrine, policy and procedures), facility management (platforms and units), support management (equipment, systems), training (proficiency), boating safety and marine inspection (prevention), and others. Ultimately, the success of our SAR program is measured by the success of each and every SAR mission that we perform. The focus of this addendum is on the four key processes involved in performance of our SAR missions: (1) distress monitoring and communications; (2) search planning; (3) search coordination; (4) search and rescue operations. The addendum also addresses SAR records and administration, public affairs, SAR liaison and agreements, SAR exercises, and several other aspects of our SAR mission.

Book excerpt: On December 17, 2000, Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, performed one of the most heroic rescues in the history of the service. The cruise ship SeaBreeze I was listing, battered by hurricane-force winds and thirty-five-foot seas. The ship and the lives of its thirty-four crewmen were in imminent peril. A rescue helicopter arrived and, seeing that the vessel could capsize at any moment, hoisted twenty-six of the crew to safety, a record for a single helicopter rescue. A second helicopter, designated for the celebration of the Wright brothers' first flight, arrived on scene in time to rescue the remaining crew. Rear Admiral Carlton Moore tells the complete history of this daring rescue, including never-before-printed radio messages from the rescuers.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the problem of evaluating the capabilities of both conventional and high performance craft in the Search and Rescue mission. The methodology developed, if extended to include all missions, may serve as a decision aid in determining the resources to be utilized in the future by the Coast Guard. A model is constructed which evaluates the SAR potential of any vehicle type conditioned upon the design parameters of the craft. This study concentrated on specific high performance watercraft, conventional surface vessels, and the HH52-A Sikorsky helicopter. The results show that the helicopter outperforms all other resources in total SAR capability even though it is unable to render assistance in all SAR categories. Of the craft considered, the 82 foot WPB is shown to be the most cost-effective. (Author).
