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

The United States Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, is primarily known for its search and rescue operations within the U.S. territorial borders and international waters. Established in 1790 as the Revenue Cutter Service, it took on its current name in 1915. Its search and rescue missions encompass various scenarios, such as vessel disasters, downed aircraft, and distressed persons at sea or along coastlines. The Coast Guard employs advanced technology, including sophisticated communication systems, helicopters, cutters, and fixed-wing aircraft to execute these life-saving operations. The service also collaborates with international partners for global search and rescue coordination.
