    Personnel wearing dark uniforms with U.S. flag patches and face masks are transferring large black bags from an orange inflatable rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) onto what appears to be a larger vessel. The operation involves multiple individuals working together to offload the bags, consistent with a maritime interdiction or drug seizure operation. The setting is an open ocean environment aboard what appears to be a U.S. Coast Guard or Navy vessel.

    The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Active, a 210-foot medium endurance Reliance-class cutter homeported in Port Angeles, Washington,  interdicts more than 1 ton of cocaine from four suspected drug smugglers during a counter-narcotics patrol in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Friday, May 18, 2018. Cutters like Active routinely conduct operations from South America to the Bering Sea to perform defense operations, alien migrant interdiction, domestic fisheries protection, search and rescue, counter-narcotics and other Coast Guard missions at great distances from shore keeping threats far from the U.S. mainland.
