You may want to ask the Coast Guard what they were doing in Iraq then.

I missed that little tidbit, they have jurisdiction in both US and international waters.

Understood. I was responding to FlyLikeanEagle's assertation that they only operated in US waters.

Yeah, so was I; I neglected to quote him rather than just your response.

Got it. I know see that you were referring to the original quotation of which I was referring to and not solely to my sentence, asserting that the Coast Guard was in Iraq.

Coast Guard is Active Player in Iraq War

Snaqs, gotcha, thanks.
Joint Operations, just like really what is the Coast Guard doing down in Colombia?

Running joint operations with the Navy.

The US Waters is by themselves or in joint operations.

The Coast Guard has the smaller vessels designed to be closer into shore.

Being that deployed to Iraq, possibly assisting with deterring gun-runners or other shallow water operations.

Didn't read the article I see. You didn't say anything about joint operations or otherwise. You simply said they only operate in US waters, which is not true. That's all I was responding to but please carry on carrying on.
