US Coast Guard Search And Rescue (U.S. Coast Guard) Accent Coffee Mug

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, primarily functions as a maritime safety service with search and rescue (SAR) operations being one of its key roles. The USCG SAR missions aim to save lives at sea, providing assistance to distressed vessels or individuals in distress, regardless of nationality or the location of the incident within U.S. waters or beyond. These operations often involve a variety of specialized equipment and teams trained for various environments, from coastal regions to remote oceans. The USCG's SAR mission is an essential part of its broader responsibilities, which include maintaining the security of ports, enforcing maritime laws, protecting the marine environment, and facilitating commerce.
