In den WarenkorbWraps. Described from a previous copy. 200 pages. Most illustrations in color. Marker residue on shrinkwrap. The Coast Guard is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the U.S. military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission and a federal regulatory mission as part of its mission set. It operates… under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, and can be transferred to the U.S. Department of the Navy by the U.S. President at any time, or by the U.S. Congress during times of war. This has happened twice, in 1917, during World War I, and in 1941, during World War II. Created by Congress on 4 August 1790 as the "Revenue Marine", it is the oldest continuous seagoing service of the United States. The Coast Guard has been involved in every U.S. war from 1790 to the War in Afghanistan. The Coast Guard can conduct military operations under the Department of Defense or for the President). "The United States Coast Guard, The Shield of Freedom, 2004" refers to a specific periodical or publication from 2004, likely a special edition focusing on the USCG's enhanced homeland security role post-9/11, especially during Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Liberty Shield, highlighting their expanded missions in port security, maritime law enforcement, and protecting critical infrastructure, as detailed in government documents and historical records from that time, notes the USCG Historian's office. Post-9/11 Homeland Security: In 2004, the Coast Guard was heavily involved in national security efforts, integrating within the newly formed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to secure ports, waterways, and borders against terrorism. Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF): The Coast Guard deployed significant assets, including cutters and Port Security Units (PSUs), for port security, maritime interdiction (MIO), and logistics in the Persian Gulf. "Shield of Freedom": This phrase serves as a powerful theme, emphasizing the Coast Guard's role as a guardian of national security and maritime safety in a heightened threat environment, as reflected in various official reports and publications. Its key Activities in 2004 include Port Security: Establishing Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs) for waterborne antiterrorism protection; Force Protection: Securing vital shipping and military assets; Counter-Smuggling: Combatting illegal drugs, aliens, and WMDs; and Environmental Response: Preventing and responding to spills.
