 What makes the world's best Coast Guard? It's not our cutters. It's not our aircraft. It's our people. The U.S. Coast Guard maritime professional. The human connection we create when we train and work alongside partners around the world. Whether it is supporting combatant commanders and protecting national interests, working with our partner nations to protect the world's oceans, defending free and open trade in the Indo-Pacific, while preserving and protecting national resources and interests in the Arctic. The U.S. Coast Guard models acceptable maritime behavior across the globe to bring stability and security, not with a domineering spirit, but rather cool and even-tempered perseverance in our duty. No one else can do what we do. We are the world's best Coast Guard.
