Well, USCG used to be part of the Department of the Treasury, and was NOT military, although organized similar.
They were only housed under the administration of the Department of Defense in time of war. Many of the anti-sub patrols, and landing craft coxswains were USCG.
But, that was all before the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, after the formation of the DHS, I'm not sure.
USCG, used to be Dept. of TRANSPORTATION.....
Now, I don't know .....
I just think it would be hilarious to send in the coasties to some land locked area to do something
Don't they patrol the Great Lakes also?
So the Coasties could cruise up in a Cutter and lob a few rounds at the Gangster Disciples and Black P Stones? I'll need a minute to think about this...Probably, which made my Chicago example bad
I thought they were part of the DoT? As in Transportation?Well, USCG used to be part of the Department of the Treasury, and was NOT military, although organized similar.
