The USCG History - for more information see www.uscg.mil

The United States Coast Guard, one of the country's five armed services, is also one of the most unique agencies of the federal government.  The Coast Guard traces its history back to 4 August 1790, when the first Congress authorized the construction of ten vessels to enforce tariff and trade laws, prevent smuggling, and protect the collection of the federal revenue.  Known variously as the Revenue Marine and the Revenue Cutter Service, it expanded in size and responsibilities as the nation grew.  

These added responsibilities included humanitarian duties such as aiding mariners in distress.  The Coast Guard's law enforcement functions also continued to expand.  Congress tasked USCG with enforcing laws against slavery, piracy, and enlarged our responsibilities to prevent smuggling.  It was also given the responsibility to protect the marine environment, explore and police Alaska, and chart the growing nation's coastlines, all well before the turn of the twentieth century.

The service received its present name in 1915 under an act of Congress when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the Life-Saving Service.  The nation now had a single maritime service dedicated to saving life at sea and enforcing the nation's maritime laws.  The service began to maintain the country's aids to maritime navigation, including operating the nation's lighthouses, when the Lighthouse Service was transferred to the Coast Guard in 1939.  Later, in 1946, Congress permanently transferred the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation to the Coast Guard, thereby placing merchant marine licensing and merchant vessel safety under our purview.

The Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government and, until the Navy Department was established in 1798,  it served as the nation's only armed force afloat.  The service has continued to protect the nation throughout our long history and have served proudly in every one of the nation's conflicts.  The Coast Guard's national defense responsibilities remain one of its most important functions even today.

In times of peace the Coast Guard operates as part of the Department of Homeland Security, serving as the nation's front-line agency for enforcing our laws at sea, protecting our coastline and ports, and saving life.  In times of war, or on direction of the President, the Coast Guard serves under the Navy Department.

Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod - Official Seal Plaque

In the 1960's, the Coast Guard began searching for a replacement facility, one that could grow as needed and accommodate modern aircraft. In 1968, the Department of Defense agreed to allow the Coast Guard to utilize Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod for a new Coast Guard Air Station. Air Station Cape Cod was officially established on August 29, 1970.  Protecting the coast of the United States from New York City to the Canadian border, Air Station Cape Cod has grown into one of the most active and essential air stations in the service.  Air Station Cape Cod crews fly both HH-60J "JayHawk" helicopters and HU-25 "Falcon" jets to perform a variety of Coast Guard missions. Our primary mission, Search and Rescue (SAR), involves the protection of life and property in the offshore areas from the Canadian border to Long Island.
