MODERATORS
It’s a little known fact that the US Coast Guard had a pretty major presence in the Vietnam conflict.
Stopping unregulated unreported and illegal fishing.
Enforcing international maritime law.
Working against human trafficking.
Assessing and enforcement port security for any partner nations.
Search and Rescue.
Protecting US vessels
US Coast Guard is all over the world not just US conducting missions. This was 2005 in support of Operation Iraq Freedom. US Coast Guard has been in many US conflicts throughout history.
I guess US anything is all over the world.
