Washington - The Coast Guard released a new video today to help explain why the Coast Guard must modernize, and the benefit of this critical effort.
Concerning the “modernization” video, Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad W. Allen said,
This video is important for two reasons. First, it communicates in a clear, concise fashion what we are tying to accomplish. Second, the message comes from our active, reserve, civilian, and auxiliary leaders. We have a great opportunity to position the Coast Guard to be responsive to “All Threats” and “All Hazards” as we move forward.
