The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche crew demonstrates what it means to be a force for good! During their recent visit to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, they lent a helping hand to the community after Hurricane Lidia hit the region as a Category 4 the week before Waesche's arrival.

The crew rolled up their sleeves and joined forces with the local community to clean up Parque Lineal, a park damaged by Hurricane Lidia.

Ensign Patrick B. Ober, Waesche's electronic warfare officer, sums it up best: "It is what makes the Coast Guard stand out around the world as a force for good."

After their efforts, the American Legion Post 12 Banderas Bay hosted the crew for dinner, where they were honored for their service to the community.

Captain Robert Mohr and his crew were deeply moved by the warm welcome in Puerto Vallarta.

"Waesche's crew appreciated the opportunity to support a community that frequently hosts Coast Guard cutters for port breaks during patrols," said Mohr. "We heard about the impacts from Hurricane Lidia, and the crew was extremely eager to lend a helping hand. I would also like to thank the American Legion and city of Puerto Vallarta representatives who made us feel very welcomed throughout our stay in Puerto Vallarta."

There's no place like home!

Welcome home U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Munro crewmembers who returned to U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda Wednesday following a 118-day, 23,000-mile Western Pacific patrol!

Munro departed their Northern California homeport in June and was the third National Security Cutter deployed to the Indo-Pacific region this year.

Throughout the patrol, Munro's crew participated in international engagements in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei, and with ships at sea from the Royal Thai Navy and the United Kingdom Royal Navy.

"This opportunity to work with our allies and partners throughout the Indo-Pacific increased our regional interoperability and sharpened our seamanship," said Capt. Rula Deisher, Munro's commanding officer. "We thoroughly enjoyed conducting professional exchanges, improving maritime capabilities, and strengthening maritime governance in the region by fostering global connectivity, facilitating cohesion and steps taken towards ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific."

to the crew, and thank you to the families at home supporting our men and women deployed across the globe!

U.S. Coast Guard crews conduct first high-seas boardings off the coast of Peru, under new SPRFMO measure.

Crews aboard the Coast Guard Cutters Alder, Terrell Horne, and an HC-130 Hercules aircraft recently completed the first high-seas boardings and inspections in the Eastern Pacific Ocean under a newly adopted conservation and management measure to monitor and inspect fishing and transshipment operations at-sea in the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO) Convention Area.

The primary species targeted in the Convention area are jack mackerel and jumbo flying squid.

The Coast Guard crews were operating off the coast of Peru, supporting Operation Southern Shield. The SPRFMO Commission comprises 17 members from Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania and two cooperating non-contracting parties.

The Coast Guard has executed counter-illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing operations for years and participated in high-seas boarding inspections around the globe. This operation was significant as it was timed to implement newly adopted rules in the SPRFMO Convention Area, which comprises nearly a quarter of the Earth’s high seas.

“The U.S. Coast Guard remains committed to conducting combined maritime operations and exercises throughout the Eastern Pacific and will continue to capitalize on every opportunity to work with, learn from, and coordinate through our partners,” said Capt. James O’Mara, Chief of Enforcement for Coast Guard 11th District. “The relationships our services build while planning and executing these operations are essential. The logistics required to enable these operations are significant, and it only happens with the tremendous support of partners like Ecuador and Peru.”

Before Operation Southern Shield, Coast Guard crews participated in GALAPEX 2023, a recurring joint and multinational exercise hosted by Ecuador and executed in the vicinity of the Galapagos Islands. The crews conducted communications exercises, practiced counter-narcotics boarding scenarios, and hosted observers from Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil. GALAPEX culminated with full-scale exercises focused on a coordinated multinational response to counter IUU fishing.

Recently, the Seattle-based U.S. Coast Guard Port Security Unit 313 servicemembers had a unique joint training opportunity with the King County Metro transit involving the MV Sally Fox, a 104-foot passenger-only ferry operated by King County Water Taxi.

Protecting a High-Value Asset (HVA) is one of many critical operational capabilities of a Port Security Unit.

PSU waterside security division crews often train with the unit's 32-foot Transportable Port Security Boats to simulate an HVA to rehearse protective maneuvers against threats made by a non-compliant vessel. However, integrating a ship like the MV Sally Fox facilitated the construction of scenarios that enhanced the realism of the training experience.

Joint training exercises provide unmatched training value as the Port Security mission set evolves to include less conventional tasking alongside new partners in unfamiliar environments.

U.S. Coast Guard Reserve members primarily staff PSUs?

Port Security Units are deployable specialized forces that conduct expeditionary operations and can be activated to provide disaster relief. PSUs provide land and waterborne security for shipping lanes and critical port facilities in support of the United States, along with humanitarian operations. 313 is one of eight PSUs strategically located across the U.S.

Awesome way to spend a drill weekend!

Can you hear me now?

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy was successful in testing long range communications with the Norwegian Coast Guard!

U.S. Coast Guard Ensign Luke Monaco, communications officer on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB 20), conducted a communications exercise with the Norwegian Coast Guard Vessel Jarl and crew while underway in the Norwegian Sea.

The voice communication testing demonstrated the ability to facilitate long-range communications with a foreign coast guard beyond the limitations of line-of-sight VHF communications, which would be critical if there was a loss of internet, satellite phone, or other primary means of long-range communications.

Job well done!

The U.S. Coast Guard is rapidly advancing their usage of additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, and the specialized printer currently on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy is the next big step.

This material extrusion printer is outfitted with a sophisticated sensor array, which closely monitors the printer’s operation and movement. The printer and sensor array are on loan to the Coast Guard from the Consortium for Additive Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) and the Naval Post Graduate School (NPS).

There are sister-printers at NPS and at military bases in Palau and Qatar. By comparing the same item printed in each of these different locations, the USCG, CAMRE, and NPS will learn how 3D printing is affected by the unique and often extreme environments in which the military operates. This information will be critical to the military additively manufacturing reliable parts wherever a unit is deployed.

The data being collected by the printer’s is also supporting three complimentary projects. To understand the effect of the ship’s vibrations and movements on the prints, the printer contains a suite of motion and environmental sensors.

This data is also ideal for Dr. Nita Shattuck, a professor at NPS in Human Systems Integration, who is conducting a sleep study on the Healy and will help her team understand the influence the ship’s movement has on crew member sleep.

Understanding sleep quality is pivotal to her work continued in better understanding crew endurance and how fatigue impacts sailors.

The printer is also helping to validate the theory of remote part production at sea. Lt. Cmdr. Andrew Armstrong, who leads the Coast Guard’s AM efforts for cutters, and his team have been modeling parts at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans and transmitting files to Ms. Shalane Regan, chief scientist aboard the Healy, in the Arctic.

With several successful prints completed and more in the works, the Coast Guard is examining how this technology could help ships manufacture critical parts on demand, regardless of how far from the pier they are.
