The Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) is a specialized unit within the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The MSRT was established to respond to maritime security threats, including counter-terrorism and counter-piracy operations. Operating under the National Response Framework, they work in close coordination with other federal, state, local, and international agencies. These teams are primarily deployed on Coast Guard cutters or High Endurance Cutters (HEC) to ensure the safety and security of vital waterways and maritime assets within the U.S. jurisdiction and beyond. The MSRT's capabilities include the use of force, tactical intelligence, surveillance, and quick reaction forces. They are trained for both domestic and international operations in various environments, ranging from open seas to congested ports.
