United States Coast Guard 59x32
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) was founded on August 4, 1790, when the United States Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters to enforce federal tariff and trade laws and to prevent smuggling. Initially known as the Revenue Cutter Service (RCS), it was tasked with protecting American shipping interests, enforcing tariffs, and combating piracy.
Today, the Coast Guard serves as a versatile maritime service with a wide range of responsibilities. Its primary missions include maritime law enforcement, search and rescue operations, homeland security, environmental protection, and maritime safety. The Coast Guard plays a crucial role in safeguarding U.S. ports and waterways, conducting drug interdiction operations, enforcing maritime regulations, and responding to natural and man-made disasters. Additionally, it serves as a key component of the nation's defense and works closely with other military branches and government agencies to protect national security interests at sea.
