- "Semper Paratus" means "Always Ready." That is the motto of the U.S. Coast Guard because its members are always ready to defend and preserve the United States. The mission is unique: protecting ports and waterways from all kinds of threats.
Part 1. Jen Lahmers spoke to Adm. Karl Schultz, the commandant of the Coast Guard, to get his overview of what this unique branch of the military does every day.
Part 2. Joe Toohey got a first-hand look from the water and from the air at how the Coast Guard performs dangerous and challenging helicopter rescue missions.
Part 3. Sector New York is the largest operational field command on the East Coast. Lisa Evers learned about how the Coast Guard protects New York Harbor.
Part 4. Raegan Medgie went on board a New Jersey-based cutter that has not one but two women in charge.
Part 5. During the winter, the Coast Guard helps keep cargo moving along the Hudson River. Mac King joined the crew of the Cutter Sturgeon Bay as it carried out a day of ice breaking on the Hudson.
Part 6. Jen Lahmers also went on the Hudson River to try her hand at one of the toughest jobs in the Coast Guard-checking and maintaining navigational buoys.

Proud to have served, proud to have been a part of an incredible organization. 1963 to 1967.
If you look closely the Coast Guard is in the background
I love the American coast guard the selflessness to ensure others safety in the ocean is amazing I am a ship man
Lived my entire life minutes from the ocean. The Guard doesn't get enough credit. The amount of people who own boats and have no idea how to operate them is amazing. If not for these great Americans many would be dead. I'm a 20 year combat vet and never realized they have about 50k strength. I honestly thought it was more, maybe 100, 150k. But 50k? Wow. Promotions but be competitive. Anyway thank you for your service.
Very interesting. Just retired after 30 years. I could tell a couple stories and my take on some of these topics.
The best remembered 8 years of my life!!!
What did you do after the coast guard?
Semper Paratus! Good job covering the world of Coasties!
Hats off and keep being awesome USCG. 👍⚓
This was awesome
This is a surprisingly complete profile and look ahead. YN2/LN1 2002-2006. Bravo Zulu to all my shipmates and veterans.
Besides marrying my wife and having a family, my 4 years in USCG were the most challenging and exciting of times. Semper Paratus (Since 1790)
John on wives computer. Served 4 active duty years going from CG Station as a seaman to a petty officer in the medical corps on buoy tender in the ninth CG district. I cherish every minute I spent in the Guard. It was an honor to be able to serve with them. Shipmates were awesome.
Great program
An OUTSTANDING VIDEO - covers everything WE DO in Uncle Sam's Confused Group !!
BZ to the COMDT for putting this together.
Old Guard - 1965-1987 - Vietnam 66-67 - 80 Mariel Sealift & 81-84 Haitian MIgrant Interdiction Operation
You didnt mention the USCG AUXILIARY. They are the volunteer arm of the USCG.
Seriously considering immigrating to the US to become a Coastie!
If you do I congratulate you! My husband is a Coastie
@@cobb5223 Many thanks to both you and him, stay safe!
Never send a navy boy to do a coastguard man's job. Greetings from the Washington coast. Semper Peratus! ⚓⚓⚓
There needs to be a Coast Guard Star Destroyer.
I thought our motto is “WE GOT THE BEER”. 😮
Semper Paratus!
GO COAST GUARD!!
When I was in we were under the dept of treasury. Least funded military branch in govt with the most responsibility’s. When homeland security was invented they realized the the law enforcement abilities of the CG petty officers and immediately the CG was turned over to homeland. Still getting the pay of the military but with the most law inforcement capability besides the SAR and ANT plus all the other responsibilities oil spill ship inspection plus..The list of USCG tasks are amazing and never published
Semper Paratus........HSC Retired.
The war on all drugs peace good Jobs God bless
BZ Coasties
My unit after boot 65611

The Commandant is outside uncovered. Not setting a good example.
Who care about color I want men and women that can do the job
I don’t know much about the Sea. But I think any institution should get the MOST CAPABLE people, instead of diversity. MOST CAPABLE is not attached to diversity or race. But maybe the in the sea the things are different.
ALWAYS READY ???, not the Coast Guard motto,,,
Yeah that’s what semper peratus means
Semper Gumby.
The Puddle Pirates..
The "diversity" woke crap is going to sink Merica, pardon the pun. Isn't it supposed to be about merit? I don't care if the whole damn crew is female, but calling it out is reverse sexism. Oh and in 2021, isn't it transphobic to be even callingbpeople men and women lol
Was a good clip until they made it sexist about women and diversity... Give me a break.The people that preach tolerance and the most intolerant...
I don't know most people I know in the coast guard would like their to be more diversity
@Ami du Canada I'm not for forcing anybody.I think the coast guard is such a wonderful service my stepson is in and it just seems like not enough people know about it.
The USCG has the highest enlistment standards of all the services, especially the ASVAB scores. These are smart people.
That is racist to think about the race of people. We don't need see a person who "looks like us" to want to do it. That comment makes me wonder if the person coming to rescue me will be there because he is good or because the Commandant looked at color skin instead of the content of character and qualifications.
I thought the Coast Guard wanted the best candidates. I saw women and minorities so this is just another military leader who is mandated by the White House to chant about diversity.
