COAST GUARD INTERNATIONAL VISION
Applying a balanced strategic framework of the National Security Strategy, Foreign Policy, Coast
Guard Core Values and Competencies, and Domestic Requirements, the Coast Guard's
international vision is:
"The Coast Guard engages internationally to benefit the Nation and further Coast
Guard Missions." In doing so, we:

policy and national security objectives.
Pursue appropriate international engagements that provide a high return on our resources when
measured by improved operations, higher international standards, technology advances, and
foreign policy successes.
Enhance our global credibility that comes from being recognized as the world's premier
maritime service which enables us to promote international cooperation for the benefit of the
United States, the Coast Guard, and the world maritime community.
Enhance international engagements through working in concert with U.S. agencies that
complement Coast Guard capabilities.
