Coast Guard Pulled National Security Cutter From Planned Pacific Patrol To Support Border Surge
 
By Cal Biesecker |
 
To help it meet President Trump’s directive for the U.S. government to achieve operational control of the southern border, the acting Coast Guard Commandant said he changed plans for one of the service’s National Security Cutters (NSCs) to support operations in the Indo-Pacific in favor of border security duties.

The change in plans was done in consultation with U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Navy Adm. Samuel Paparo, Adm. Kevin Lunday told a House panel on Wednesday. Lunday described the deployment as temporary and said “there’s been no change to our permanent presence in the Indo-Pacific.”

The Coast Guard operates a mix of cutters in the central and western Pacific regions, sometimes in support of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command for freedom of navigation operations, but also working with island nations to help them with capacity building and maritime governance, and conducting its routine missions such as drug interdiction and fisheries patrols.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm OK with that.  The Coast Guard has no business being sent overseas as an "auxiliary" because the U.S. Navy is in such sorry shape.  Coastal defense, drug interdiction, and border operations are its core missions.

OK with it here, too.

The Coast Guard should be protecting OUR "coast"... not that of someplace in the Pacific (other than Hawaii). That's the Navy's job...
