Creating an Advantage in the Competition Continuum: The U.S. Coast Guard, Integrated Naval Presence, and Partnerships in the Western Pacific

Abstract

The current level of U.S. Coast Guard employment is insufficient for successful competition, let alone conflict, in the Western Pacific. The primary barrier to better naval integration is fiscal constraints upon the U.S. Coast Guard. By implementing proven methods of naval integration and leveraging dedicated funding sources for providing U.S. Coast Guard support (<$400M) to the Department of Defense, the U.S. Coast Guard can successfully achieve national objectives in competition and in conflict.
