- sillywalk 3y agoInterestingly, I found this bit interesting (emphasis mine), I never knew they deployed much overseas, much less for that long. "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-...
