The service has provided aids to navigation, enforcement of maritime laws, environmental protection, search and rescue, immigration and narcotics interdiction, maritime safety assistance, port security, natural disaster response and national defense missions, including overseas with other U.S. armed forces and federal and state public safety agencies.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Naval History of the United States Coast Guard: With Citations of Various Statutes Defining Its Military Status From 1790 to 1922 The Act approved February 25, 1799 An Act for the aug mentation of the Navy contained the following: sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States shall be, and is hereby authorized to place on the naval establishment, and employ accordingly, all or any of the vessels, which, as revenue cutters have been increased in force and employed in the defense of the seacoasts, pursuant to the Act, entitled 'an Act providing a naval armament, ' and thereupon, the officers and crews of such vessels, may be allowed, at the discretion of the Presi dent of the United States, the pay, subsistence, advantagesand compensations, proportionably to the rates of such vessels, and shall be governed by the rules and discipline which are, or which shall be, established for the Navy of the United States. The Act of March 2, 1799, provided that the crew of a cut ter should consist of not more than 70 men including non commissioned officers, gunners, and mariners. The same Act also provided that the cutters shall, whenever the President of the United States shall so direct, cooperate with the Navy of the United States, during which time they shall be under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, and the expense thereof shall be defrayed by the agents of the Navy Department. Vessels of the Coast Guard have been armed, their crews have been drilled, they have had strict naval discipline since 1790. The Service has played a distinguished part in every war in which this country has been engaged, with the exception only of the War with Tripoli. During the difficulties with France in 1798 and 1799, the records show that 8 cutters (1 sloop, 5 schooners, and 2 brigs) operated along our southern coast in the Caribbean Sea, and among the West India Islands. The 2 brigs, and 2 of the schooners carried each 14 guns, and 70 men, the sloop, and the other schooners had each 10 guns, and 34 men. Of the 22 prizes taken during that period 18 were captured by cutters unaided, and they assisted in the capture of 2 others. The cutter Pick ering made two cruises to the West Indies and captured 10 prizes, one of which carried 44 guns and 200 men-three times her own force.
