TEAMWORK (continued)
OBJECTIVE 13. CONTRIBUTING TO NATIONAL SECURITY OBJECTIVES
AROUND THE WORLD
Purpose. We will contribute to accomplishing United States foreign policy through use of our
unique capabilities and missions. Our international activities frequently have a direct and positive
impact on the Coast Guard's domestic Performance Goals. Increased international contributions
also increase awareness of the value of the Coast Guard and an improved understanding of our
requirements within Congress and the Administration, particularly the Departments of State and
Defense and associated congressional committees.
Opportunities for Improvement. We will actively engage with the Department of State (DOS),
the National Security Council (including implementing Presidential Decision Directives), and the
regional CinCs. Additionally, we will be a key supporter of the Secretary of Transportation's
international agenda. We must explore expanded international training opportunities. Given our
limited resources, we must constantly evaluate our balance between international and domestic
demands and focus on those international activities that provide the greatest return on the use of
those resources.
