4: National Defense
Integrating Coast Guard capabilities for national defense Other Information:
The nation needs both U.S. Navy and Coast Guard capabilities along its own coasts, on the high seas, and deployed abroad in
support of U.S. national security interests. Coast Guard assets should be ready to serve in support of the Combatant Commanders
and the National Military Strategy (NMS). To achieve this, the Coast Guard will better integrate its capabilities with DoD
and optimize its forces within a Navy/Coast Guard relationship. This will build upon the “National Fleet” model and support
the NMS as well as the NSMS and its subordinate plans.
