US Coast Guard
The Coast Guard manages six major operational mission programs:
Maritime Law Enforcement; Maritime Response; Maritime Prevention; Marine Transportation System Management; Management; Maritime Security Operations; Defense Operations
The operational mission programs oversee 11 Missions codified in the Homeland Security Act of 2002. That act delineates the 11 missions as “homeland security” or “non-homeland security” missions.
