SEATTLE, Wash. (July 3) --- Portrait of Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey D. Egelston, member of the first Coast Guard Marine Safety and Security Unit. MSSTs are domestic mobile units that possess specialized training capabilities to perform a wide spectrum of port safety and security operations. They are modeled after the Coast Guard's Port Security Units (PSUs) and Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs). MSSTs are being establised to protect military load-outs; enforce security zones; defendcritical waterside facilities in strategic ports; stop illegal activities, such as narcotics trafficking or illegal migrants; and provide a modest level of shore side protection.
