Members of Coast Guard Cutter Stratton prepare to conduct an at-sea contraband transfer with the Coast Guard Cutter James in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Sept. 9, 2017. Stratton and James possess the offshore capabilities necessary to operate on the high seas where transnational organized crime networks are largely unchallenged by regional partners, and where those networks are most vulnerable to enforcement action by the United States.
