From search-and-rescue operations and drug interdiction to countering grey zone activities in the Indo-Pacific and protecting global supply chains, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) plays a critical role in ensuring U.S. security and prosperity. Evolving kinetic and cyber threats jeopardize maritime security and global commerce, while significant delays in shipbuilding projects and budget constraints present further complications. To meet the demands of its expanding mission set, the USCG must continuously adapt and build readiness and resilience despite tough trade-offs.

On August 7, join the Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at Brookings for a conversation with Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard Admiral Kevin E. Lunday on the state of USCG workforce and mission readiness and how USCG strategy is advancing U.S. interests.
