Book excerpt: With the recent successes in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, combatant CINCs are looking more and more to the U.S. Coast Guard for its maritime interdiction and harbor defense expertise to protect U.S. military forces operating in and from the littorals. Assessing the strengths and vulnerabilities of its assets to the naval coastal warfare mission, this paper demonstrates that the Coast Guard does bring a unique, flexible and cost-effective force to the littoral battle space and is a perfect match to lead expeditionary naval coastal warfare operations. By utilizing the Coast Guard, joint force commanders can free up their limited number of high-end naval combatants for offensive operations and achieve unity of effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays, written by some of the foremost historians in the field of Coast Guard history, highlights the wartime roles played by the United States’ oldest federal maritime service, from its inception through the last decade of the twentieth century. The Fighting Coast Guard features three distinct sections: “Beginnings,” which includes a short overview of the US Revenue Cutter Service (the USCG’s primary forerunner, established in 1790) and two chapters on World War I; “Conflagration,” the role of the USCG during the World War II era; and “The Cold War and Beyond,” an assessment of the Coast Guard’s participation in the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War of 1991. The Fighting Coast Guard is a significant contribution to the limited historiography of the Coast Guard and a critical analysis of various wartime roles undertaken by the Coast Guard during America’s twentieth-century conflicts. Because the Coast Guard operated as part of the Department of the Navy during the two world wars, its service and history is often overlooked or envoloped by the larger service, while the USCG’s limited participation in cold and hot wars since 1945 is often ignored altogether. This anthology provides readers with a solid overview while highlighting some of the service’s most important contributions as a combatant force. This definitive study of the role of the US Coast Guard in wartime, from its modern inception in 1915 through the end of the twentieth century, is long overdue and will shed new light on America’s smallest military service.

The Service has operated under the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Transportation and, since 2003, the Department of Homeland Security.

This history describes how the Coast Guard has manifested its legacy and motto, Semper Paratus (Always Ready), in changing conditions under each of its leaders.
Download or read book The Maritime Component Commander The U S Coast Guard Can It Will It Should It written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since mid-March 2004, the U.S. Coast Guard has assumed the duties as Maritime Component Commander for the combined Joint Task Force-Haiti under the direction of Southern Command. The duties, described in a 16 March 04 SOUTHCOM press release were to continue to support stability operations by providing support for port security in Port-au-Prince harbor and conducting port assessments to help restore commercial and humanitarian operation in other Haitian ports. The purpose of this research project is to examine the strategic settings under which a Combatant Commander is expected to conduct maritime operations and evaluate the duties of the MCC. Some review of Coast Guard history, principles and capability will be presented. The study will then analyze data regarding survey respondents' perceptions on the Coast Guard's ability to perform these duties in both combat and non-combat environments, and examine the debate regarding the competing demands for Coast Guard people and platforms, particularly in a post 9-11 homeland security environment. Finally, it gives recommendations for a Combatant Commander's consideration, presents some lessons learned for operations typical for Coast Guard coordination and concludes with a view on how the Coast Guard fits into the national interests as defined by the President of the United States.
