Office of Specialized Capabilities USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) Black Coffee Mug

The Office of Specialized Capabilities (OSC) within the U.S. Coast Guard is a vital component that provides specialized response capabilities to support domestic and international operations. This office is responsible for managing unique assets such as helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, cutters, and boats that are not regularly used by other Coast Guard units. The OSC ensures that these specialized assets are maintained, trained, and ready for deployment when needed for search and rescue missions, law enforcement, marine environmental protection, and national defense tasks. The office collaborates closely with other federal agencies, state and local authorities, and international partners to address complex challenges requiring specialized expertise.
