Now the coast guard is a part of the Dept. of Homland Security. Before that it was part of Dept. of Transportation and before that it was part of the Dept. of the Treasury. It has changed hands many times in this century alone. When taking part in military actions, those participating units fall under tha command of the U.S. Navy in most cases.

The Coast look after is a branch of the militia. They do carry out regulation enforcement artwork as considered one of their distinct missions. they're at the moment contained in the dep. of native land safe practices. i assume you could say they're important stress is preserving US waters regardless of the indisputable fact that they are around the international. My son has been to 12 overseas international places, as a procedures south as Ecuador, as a procedures north as Nova Scotia. He has been by potential of the Panama Canal, he has been to Cuba (Gitmo), the Dominican, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Honduras, Columbia and some different places. My ex-husband is a Captain contained in the Coast look after. He has been to more suitable than 20 overseas international places, such as a even as in Russia and a three hundred and sixty 5 days in Iraq. even as in Iraq he earned the Bronze superstar. Any militia member that tells you the CG isn't militia... walk an officer contained in the CG previous them. i will guess they salute purely as instantly as they could an officer of their very personal certain branch. in the adventure that they don't, I assure they are going to need that they had! did you recognize why the CG isn't lower than the DoD??? to be able to board a overseas flagged vessel the U. S. "militia" won't be able to do it. that is construed as an act of conflict. The CG, on the grounds that they're native land safe practices, can board ships and that's not regarded at that way. If the U. S. military needs to board a vessel, they must have a CG boarding crew to bypass aboard. So do not allow absolutely everyone allow you to recognize purely because they don't look DoD that the CG isn't militia. those are those who i ought to favor to call... incorrect! Coasties are militia, one hundred%.

Good question, and I think McDane01 is correct.
In the recent but distant past, I remember it was under the Treasury Department, except in time of war, I believe, when it went under the Department of Defense.
Also, I think, for a while it was under the Commerce Department, but I am not sure of that.

The treasury department. It is considered a branch of the military but not out of our waters.
