The Coast Guard Cutter Stratton sits in the Pacific Ocean at sunset during a drug patrol Sept. 8, 2017. An increased presence of U.S. and allied forces in the Eastern Pacific Ocean coupled with increased coca production in South America has led to a significant increase in narcotics removal in the drug transit zones off South and Central America.
