Answer 1

Yes they are. It doesn't depend on anything. It's a matter of US law.

United States Code Title 14, Chapter 1: The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy.

K- the coast guard is considered military for a number of reasons. One main reason would be that because they are apart of the department of defense. Second they are technically considered a "corps" of the Navy just like the Marines are a "corps" of the Navy. Just to put things into perspective all cops, federal agents, ATF, FBI, etc are what are called "Para-Military" groups. And yes, they do serve over seas. Dont think that just because they are the United States Coast Guard doesnt mean that our coasts are the only thing they protect. There are multiple Coast Guard ships patroling the waters of Kuwait in the Arabian Gulf right now. They have sailers sea-docked in kuwait (fancy way of saying stationed on ground) and im not sure if they are in Iraq or afghanistan but thats not their place. They dont have an infantry MOS in the coast guard. Thats what the Army Infantry and Marine Infantrymen are for. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Yes, when you join the coast guard you get all of the same benefits as any other branch of the military. You also join the Coast Guard by talking to a recruiter filling out the same paperwork everyone else in the other branches of the military fill out, take the same ASVAB and then you go to MEPS to enlist with all the other branches of the military. Now that we have the department of homeland defense during peace time the Coast Guard is under their jurisdiction but during war time it is under the department of the navy. But they are their own branch of the military with their own bootcamp, bases, and everything else.

oh MEPS stands for military entrance processing station. so when you enter the coast guard you are entering the military.

Answer 7

First of all, the keyboard has a shift button for a reason! If the coast guard protects us in any way, they are military, even if they only nab immigrants. Instead of asking someone what they do, spend a little time doing some research. Obviously, you know how to use the internet, so google it.

Answer 8

Yes they are.

In fact just like any other Military branch you need to pass the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Test) to be able to join the Coast Guard.

What is the United States Coast Guard?
The U.S. Coast Guard is one of five branches of the US Armed Forces, and falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
http://www.uscg.mil/global/faqs.asp
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is a military branch of the United States involved in maritime law, mariner assistance, and search and rescue, among other duties of coast guards elsewhere. One of the seven uniformed services of the United States, and the smallest armed service of the United States, its stated mission is to protect the public, the environment, and the United States economic and security interests in any maritime region in which those interests may be at risk, including international waters and America's coasts, ports, and inland waterways.

USCG has a broad and important role in homeland security, law enforcement, search and rescue, marine environmental pollution response, and the maintenance of river, intracoastal and offshore aids to navigation (ATON). It also lays claim to being the United States' oldest continuous seagoing service. The United States Coast Guard has about 40,150 men and women on active duty.

Answer 10

I would say they are. They are subject to the UCMJ, attend other branches schools and swear the same oath of enlistment. They are awarded service medals and are eligible to shop at military facilities like the PX and commissary. AS for srving combat they most certainly do. There are a fair number of "coastie" in the middle east doing prot security and doing "VBSS". The USCG has deployed to every theater of operations since WW2.
