Boat Forces at the National Level
This is an Unofficial Podcast. All views expressed are solely those of the host and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Coast Guard or the Office of BoatForces.
We shift the lens from deck-plate operations to the broader national security picture. Drawing from a recent Atlantic Council report, we explore how Coast Guard missions, especially those in Boat Forces, fit into evolving defense strategies shaped by global competition, emerging threats, and interagency cooperation. It’s not a change in mission; it’s a change in awareness.
Whether you’re focused on ATON, SAR, or law enforcement, understanding how your work connects to strategic priorities matters more than ever. Join us as we unpack the ideas shaping the conversation at senior levels and why they matter to cutters, stations, and small boats alike.
