Oh thanks. I didn’t even realize they’re articles.
It’s quite cool to see the military utilized to support research purposes. Not that this is new, but it’s a pretty decent way to get extra value out of necessary exercise.

"The Coast Guard, which has been conducting operations around the world for centuries now, is a branch of the U.S. military and can support military operations if called upon to do so. However, it has a unique legal status that also allows it to conduct law enforcement activities and it is situated within the Department of Homeland Security, rather than the Department of Defense." https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40360/u-s-coast-guard-cutter-enters-the-tense-black-sea-highlighting-the-services-overseas-presence https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40360/u-s-coast-guard-...
