Us Coast Guard Case Study

The United States of America has not always been the world superpower that it is today. The same goes for its Navy. In the first several years of existence, the United States Navy was not a formidable fighting force. The young nation was hesitant to invest in a navy for many reasons, one of them being to prevent provoking the world powers of the time, France and Britain. On top of that, navies were very expensive to build and required a significant amount of resources to maintain, which the U.S. did not have at the time. To say that the United States Navy was ill prepared for war would be a dramatic understatement. The U.S. had a total of fifteen ships in its entire naval fleet compared to the might of the Royal Navy which possessed over six hundred warships. Even with the odds stacked against the U.S., President Madison declared war on 18 JUN 1812. The lack of size and power of the navy at the time would make it extremely difficult to satisfy the needs of the newly founded nation.

Russia has enforced a naval blockade of all maritime traffic since October 2017. North of 42 degrees north latitude in the Caspian Sea, while expanding oil exploration there. Russian and Kazakhstan assert their claims over the territorial sea area.

Currently there are 221, 29 foot Response Boat Small assets in the Coast Guards inventory. Of these assets, all were made with hardened tempered glass. This paper will discuss a need to remove current glass and replace with automotive safety glass to reduce hazards to boat crews.

I believe that the United States Coast Guard consists of people who are the best of the best. Being in the Coast Guard means more than what most people may think. I know joining the armed forces means I have to be willing to serve my country and take any actions necessary to defend it, which may include giving my life to protect others. The Coast Guard’s three core values encompass the mental capacity needed in order to do so. The three values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty are vital to holding any position in the Coast Guard. Honor is more than just a word. It helps define who you are, what you believe in and is a statement of your character. Honor is not something a person can ask for, it must be earned. It is gained alongside with

My goal in life is to serve our country as a United States Naval Officer. Growing up in a family surrounded by military personnel has made an immense impact on my life and will allow me to understand what it takes to be one of our nations finest leaders. I have witnessed firsthand the dedication, hard work, and sacrifices made by my father while serving in the United States Air Force and I am eager to use the values that he has instilled in me since an early age. Although a tradition of military service is common in my family, it has never been an innate verdict for me to serve. Serving in the United States Navy (USN) is a personal choice and I recognize the responsibilities that come with commissioning as a Naval Officer. I trust the USN will provide exceptional training and career enhancing opportunities that will allow me to develop into a top-notch officer.

This document shows how hard finical management is in the United States Coast Guard. That they have to follow all of the laws and very tight budget that the government gives them. They also have to stay in audit regulations for the government. They also have to be able to handle very complicated situations with the money spending. It also talks about the all money they put into training them and how over time they will be given more work to deal with. It goes on to tell how many skills and requirements you need to me apart of finical management in the Coast Guard. This article is all about how the Coast Guard Financial managers are trained (Spadafora, 2015).

The Department of the Navy holds a long list of informal elements. From a particular use of language, to a diverse set of norms, to its use of long-held traditions and rituals. Rites of Passage are perhaps the most known of these informal elements. It can often be seen as a hot topic of discussion in leading news networks for apparent unethical behaviors. One of the most infamous and timeless traditions within the Department of the Navy is the initiation of the Chief Petty Officer, a feat many, if not all members wish to one day take part in. The 13th and Current Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Mike Stevens had this to say about the enduring ritual (2015);

A few months back on a different interaction, a Russian fighter intercepted a US bomber over the Baltic Sea. This occurred in international waters. The US had another issue happen later in that month pertaining a Russian SU-27 fighter jet, which flew just feet from a US Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft. After this interaction, it was deemed “unsafe.”

Leadership influences: Throughout my Coast Guard career there have been numerous influences guiding my leadership direction. These leadership influences include family, friends, good and bad Coast Guard leaders, and most importantly my own self reflections. One can read, listen, and study every leadership principle from the most intelligent academic professionals, however I believe the best leadership teacher for me has been trial and error. The key is being able to learn from your leadership mistakes and move forward. Life for me is the best teacher over any book ever written about leadership.

Since the very beginning it was first established, the Coast Guard was never seen as important to the people for about 200 years. Why is it that they’ve never had notice? How come they do all the dirty work in the ocean and no one seems to care? Well the Coast Guard is the reason why the United States has been protected, so that we can go to bed at night knowing that nothing’s going to happen to us. There are many reasons to why the Coast Guard is so important to society. The U.S. Coast is a huge part of our military and follows certain goals on the ocean to protect us from harm. There are also individuals who are aware of the situations that the Coast Guards are going through and by helping they get involved with some of the minor

Search and Rescue (SAR) is one of the Coast Guards oldest missions. Minimizing the loss of life, injury, property damage or loss by rendering aid to persons in distress has always been one of the Coast Guards top priorities. On the early morning of November 16, 2017 around 8:45 AM, Coast Guard Station Washington overheard a terrifying event taking place on their local channel 17 radio. There was a forty-foot pleasure craft vessel on fire with two people on board, along with eight other people in the water occurring in the mouth of the Washington channel by Haines Point. A crew of five experienced Boat Crew members worked quickly to get underway on their 29-foot small response boat. Once underway and on scene at 9:00 AM there were already other multiple government agencies responding. The Coxswain, BM3 Westoby was surveying the scene and noticed Fire boat 201 was fighting the fire on the forty-foot pleasure

One October morning in 1965, my dad, my brother and his three friends set out on a fishing trip. They reached their destination, known for the best fishing; they dropped anchor.  The day proved fruitful; they caught lots of fish until it was time to return home.  When they turned the key to the engine, it would not start. They also discovered, to their dismay that the anchor failed to catch allowing them to drift away from Bermuda all day.  My mother became anxious when they did not return at the expected time.  An hour later, inquiries at the dock confirmed they were still at sea.  As it neared nightfall, she contacted the police who called the U.S. Naval Coastguard Search and Rescue. A plane dispatched combed the area until darkness set in; they suspended the search for that night until the next morning when it would resume.  My mother called several church members asking for prayer for their safe return.  Ironically the night before, she had watched the movie, "The Titanic."  She sat up all night praying. At the crack

In 1997, Commander Michael J. Alfonso made the history books. According to an article published that year, they found that (regarding Alfonso) “It was the first time in the 15-year operating history of the United State’s most lethal submarine that a Trident commander had been dismissed, the Navy said. http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970909&slug=2559353).” The article states that he was verbally abusive to the crew, refused repeatedly to listen to opinions of other officers and senior enlisted personnel, and disregard of his crews views which caused morale problems on board.
