Crew members aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Legare offload bales on cocaine during a contraband offload at Coast Guard Base Miami Beach, Fla., Sept. 4, 2014. These interdictions were part of Operation Martillo, which is one component in the United States government’s whole-of-government approach to countering the use of the Central American littorals as transshipment routes for illicit drugs, weapons and cash.
