ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The Coast Guard continued its Artic Domain Awareness flights aboard a Coast Guard C-130 from Kodiak Tuesday in support of operations, exploration and understanding in the region.
Adm. Gene Brooks, commander District 17, commander Naval Forces Alaska, and Capt. Mark Hamilton, commander Sector Anchorage, Captain of the Port Western Alaska, educated passengers from CNN, the Canadian Broadcasting Company, various Alaska publications as well as partners from the U.S. Air Force 3rd Wing and Customs and Border Protection on the scope of operations up north.
The flight was an opportunity to update the Coast Guard's operational picture of the environment in the northern region, conduct outreach with media personnel and work cooperatively with other federal agencies that also have an expanding operational area. It is one of many steps the Coast Guard is taking to effectively provide for growing operations in this environment. 081014-G-6548F-100-Arctic Domain Awareness (U.S. Coast Guard video/PA1 Sara Francis)
