As the lead Federal agency for maritime security, it is vital that the U.S. Coast Guard maintain a strong and well-equipped fleet in order to secure our waterways, increase maritime domain awareness, and mitigate the possibility of a small boat-enabled terrorist attack. The Committee will continue to oversee DHS to ensure the efficient and risk-based distribution of Port Security Grants Program funding.Likewise, the Committee will continue its oversight of Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) efforts to ensure the security of the Global Supply Chain through a variety of programs, including trusted shipper networks, cargo screening, and container scanning. The Committee will focus its efforts to ensure that CBP continues to use a risk- and threat-based system for securing the maritime supply chain.
Book Synopsis Homeland Security and the Coast Guard by : Arthur C. Walsh
Download or read book Homeland Security and the Coast Guard written by Arthur C. Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coast Guard was effectively positioned to accomplish its missions and functions before the September 2001 terrorist attacks. The terrorist attacks reshaped the United States national security strategy, and this caused the Coast Guard to reprioritize its mission requirements elevating Homeland Security to be on par with the Coast Guard's number one priority, search and rescue operations. To effectively carry out the Homeland Security mission, the Coast Guard must leverage existing and developing technologies. These technologies will improve efficiency across the full spectrum of Coast Guard missions. While these technologies are not cheap; costs for research, development, and application can be greatly reduced by partnering with other agencies. To leverage these technologies to improve Homeland Security effectiveness, a process for evaluating and infusing emerging technology within the Coast Guard must be developed. This process must then be institutionalized within the Coast Guard's corporate structure.

Download or read book Coast Guard written by JayEtta Z. Hecker and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coast Guard is one of 22 agencies being placed in the new Department of Homeland Security (DHS). With its key roles in the nation's ports, waterways, and coastlines, the Coast Guard is an important part of enhanced homeland security efforts. But it also has important nonsecurity missions, such as search and rescue, fisheries and environmental protection, and drug and migrant interdiction. GAO has conducted a number of reviews of the Coast Guard's missions and was asked to testify about the Coast Guard's most recent level of effort for its various missions and the major operational and organizational challenges facing the agency during its transition into the newly created DHS. Data on the most recent levels of effort for the Coast Guard's various missions show clearly the dramatic shifts that have occurred among its missions since the September 11, 2001, attacks. Predictably, levels of effort related to homeland security remain at much higher levels than before September 11th. Other missions, such as search and rescue, have remained at essentially the same levels. In contrast, several other missions--most notably fisheries enforcement and drug interdiction--dropped sharply after September 11th and remain substantially below historical levels. Continued homeland security and military demands make it unlikely that the agency, in the short run, can increase efforts in the missions that have declined. Further, the fiscal year 2004 budget request contains little that would substantially alter the existing levels of effort among missions. The Coast Guard faces fundamental and daunting challenges during its transition to the new department. Delays in the planned modernization of cutters and other equipment, responsibility for new security-related tasks as directed under the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), and mandatory responses to unexpected events, such as terrorist attacks or extended terror alerts, will have an impact on the Coast Guard's ability to meet its new security-related responsibilities while rebuilding its capacity in other missions. Also, as one of the agencies being merged into the new department, the Coast Guard must deal with a myriad of organizational, human capital, acquisition, and technology issues. The enormity of these challenges requires the development of a comprehensive blueprint or strategy that addresses how the Coast Guard should balance and monitor resource use among its various missions in light of its new operating reality.
Book Synopsis Polar Icebreakers in a Changing World by : National Research Council
Download or read book Polar Icebreakers in a Changing World written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has enduring national and strategic interests in the polar regions, including citizens living above the Arctic circle and three year-round scientific stations in the Antarctic. Polar icebreaking ships are needed to access both regions. Over the past several decades, the U.S. government has supported a fleet of four icebreakersâ€"three multi-mission U.S. Coast Guard ships (the POLAR SEA, POLAR STAR, and HEALY) and the National Science Foundation's PALMER, which is dedicated solely to scientific research. Today, the POLAR STAR and the POLAR SEA are at the end of their service lives, and a lack of funds and no plans for an extension of the program has put U.S. icebreaking capability at risk. This report concludes that the United States should continue to support its interests in the Arctic and Antarctic for multiple missions, including maintaining leadership in polar science. The report recommends that the United States immediately program, budget, design, and construct two new polar icebreakers to be operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The POLAR SEA should remain mission capable and the POLAR STAR should remain available for reactivation until the new polar icebreakers enter service. The U.S. Coast Guard should be provided sufficient operations and maintenance budget to support an increased, regular, and influential presence in the Arctic, with support from other agencies. The report also calls for a Presidential Decision Directive to clearly align agency responsibilities and budgetary authorities.

Book excerpt: The focus of today's hearing is the Coast Guard's Homeland Security missions, including ports, waterways and coastal security, drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, defense readiness, and law enforcement. Since 9/11, the Coast Guard has taken an ever-increasing role in the protection of our Nation. The Coast Guard has been tasked to specifically focus their limited resources on port and maritime security. This often calls for some difficult choices, and in this time of very restrained budgets, we have to prioritize the Coast Guard's core missions, because the Coast Guard cannot be everywhere at once. Congress needs to ensure that the Coast Guard, again, has the proper assets to safely and effectively carry out its operations.

Book Synopsis The Coast Guard's Critical Role as an Armed Service by : Robert W. Warren
Download or read book The Coast Guard's Critical Role as an Armed Service written by Robert W. Warren and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Coast Guard continue to evolve and adjust to a post-9-11 world, it has caused some to question the Coast Guard's need to continue as an active member of the armed forces. Although the multi-mission aspects of the Coast Guard are still respected and valued, in an environment where mission requirements outnumber available resources, the Coast Guard's non-Homeland Security-centric missions can appear to compete with or distract the agency from the core missions and interests of the Department. Yet there are distinct and specific advantages that DHS realizes by having the Coast Guard serve as an active member of the armed forces. The benefits, authorities, and advantages gained by DHS in support of national interests by supporting and maintaining the Coast Guard's status as a member of the armed forces are worth the additional costs and burdens born by the Coast Guard and Department to maintain that status, even during the current decremental and austere budget environment.

Book Synopsis The Whole is Greater Than the Sum by : Norman L. Custard
Download or read book The Whole is Greater Than the Sum written by Norman L. Custard and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SRP examines the national strategic importance of maintaining the Coast Guard intact through the 21st Century to preserve its vast, effective multi-functional capabilities. Provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 established a new cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and transferred the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to this new Department, effective 1 March 2003. Authorization in the Act to transfer the Coast Guard to the DHS was not granted without considerable debate. The debates surrounding the Coast Guard's move to the DHS centered on whether the new emphasis on the strategic objectives of homeland security would degrade the multi-functional services the Coast Guard provides to the nation. Many members of Congress expressed concern the proposed transfer could lead to a reduced focus on the Coast Guard's non-homeland security" missions. One option proposed to alleviate such concerns was to divide the Coast Guard into two parts. The missions that focus on maritime homeland security would be transferred to the DHS, and the remaining non-homeland security missions would stay with the DOT. Ultimately the Coast Guard was transferred intact to the DHS. The roles and missions of the Coast Guard are truly overlapping and interrelated. Indeed they are intrinsically interconnected in such a way that the Coast Guard's total service is considerably greater as a whole than the sum of its parts. As the DHS matures, members of Congress and DHS leaders will eventually question the need for the DHS to regulate so-called non-homeland security missions. Coast Guard officials must prepare for renewal of the option of dividing the Coast Guard. The greatest danger to maritime homeland security and to achieving other strategic national security interests would be to fragment the Coast Guard.
