Greeting from Malaysia Coast Guard!!

[@redbrixanimations]

One of my closest friends is from Malaysia. Very beautiful country ❤

[@Christopher-xd5in]

We go to hotspots worldwide. I'm proud old coastie. I wish all the other military branches and civilians knew we are not pansies. Just quiet good people that don't brag. We need to learn to brag. Love to all my fellow Coasties.

@@JohnRodriguez-si9si I'm sorry. I didn't realize.... Thank you for your service. But we are all on the same team. I thought. Again please forgive me.

Excellent video!! I was on one of the first boats sent over, the USCGC Walnut (WLB-205), or as we called her, ‘The WARnut’!!! Absolutely loved that deployment and as a SN, was extremely busy with everyday work/drills, to standing watch, and then acting basically as the boats GM, I PMS’d all of our .50cal machine guns, and all of our small arms after working all day and standing watch. Some days that’s what I did all day and all night. We had a phenomenal crew and I learned a lot from them all. This was my first unit out of boot and I was so excited that I got my first choice of “any billet in HI” and then three months or so after reporting and working those excellent TROP hours, we had quarters and were told that we were getting orders to Iraq 🤦‍♂️. I was a little worried and excited at the same time. We did extensive training prior to deploying and started that wonderful Anthrax vaccination series that I finished at my next duty station after GM A~School. Back then, 2004-2005, we couldn’t refuse the vaccines, but not long after we deployed DOD/DHS/USCG changed it to that you could refuse them, but couldn’t be deployed and would be transferred to the group or land based unit. Anyways, I loved that deployment and I actually put in for multiple bullets after I got to my unit after A~School, Group Cape Hatteras, which we ended up decommissioning. Phenomenal job on the video!! Semper Paratus~ God Bless~

I had no idea. I thought Coast Guard was just on our coastline. Thanks for this

[@Bluegrassriver8]

The specific need for the U.S. Coast Guard and their expertise is expanding every year. Given the current Red Sea activity, many more Coast Guard personnel must be deployed here. Command needs to expand their presence.

[@JohnRodriguez-si9si]

I Myself AM Prior Service Marine Corps and Army, but DAMNIT..........!! The Coast Guard ( both Active Duty and Reserve Component) has gone Badass , with new Cammies ( both NWU Type 3 and Army, Air Force and Space Force - issue OCP 🦂 W2) , HITRON, MSRT , and Port Security Unit.

[@MarkS-yb1bl]

I would like to know why we are there? This is not the U.S. coast or even close. How would we feel if China, Russia, or any other country was out doing the same thing? Don't get me wrong, I love the Coast Guard and its mission having served honorably for 4 years. This one just puzzles me. Please help me out. Thanks

[@xerohr]

The difference between the US and China/Russia is that there are countries that ask for assistance from the US in interdiction operations

[@NickyKDChaleunphone]

It's because we have the expertise that not alot of countries have the capability that the USCG has. The USCG has vast experiences in dealing with drug smugglers. So they know how to take down smugglers.

[@viperq]

USCG has been deploying overseas since 1917.

[@KendrasEdge757]

We’ve been in every war since Vietnam. First under DOT, and now under DHS, we’re transferred under DOD-USN for deployments during war. This was a war. This wasn’t just the USCG goin to another country and patrolling their waterways. With respect, I think you’ve misunderstood that. God bless~

[@rykusomi20]

What unit is this?

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

Most likely a small-boat launch from one of our Fast Response Cutters stationed overseas. www.atlanticarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Area-Units/PATFORSWA/

[@jimb.942]

I’m confused. Someone help me with this one. Our southern border is wide open since this administration gave up on its duty in securing the border but the U.S. coast is helping secure other countries waters?!?

[@danrussell3439]

Because those illegally coming thru our open southern border are potential voters, even thought they are not citizens some cities are allowing anyone to vote, so bizarre political leaders are being voted in on the local level with their eye on statewide and then national politics

thoroughly CONFUSED as why the Coast Guard is in the middle east...

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

We don't just protect American shorelines, but also American interests abroad. "The Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint because of the large volumes of oil that flow through the strait. In 2018, its daily oil flow averaged 21 million barrels per day (b/d), or the equivalent of about 21% of global petroleum liquids consumption." - www.eia.gov/ (U.S. Energy Information Administration) published, June 20, 2019

Coast guard means more then our own coasts, the guard coasts in general. Anywhere our boys are we’re gonna have coast guard.
