Coast Guard Magazine, Issue 2, 2008 In the United States, the United States Coast Guard is a military service under the United States Department of Homeland Security in peacetime. In wartime the Coast Guard may, at the direction of the president, report to the Secretary of the Navy but does not become part of the United States Navy; however, its boats and cutters are integrated into U.S. military operations.

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Officer Candidate School are located in New London, Connecticut. The U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officers Academy is located in Petaluma, California. United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, New Jersey is the US Coast Guard's only Recruit Training Center. Many other countries' Navies are comparable to the US Coast Guard.

The US Coast Guard enables the US Navy to concentrate on its main mission — power projection — while the Coast Guard manages Maritime Security, Port Security, and Defense patrols.
