The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Napier (WPC-1115) offloads 430 kilograms of cocaine at Sector San Juan Aug. 5, 2020, which have a wholesale value of more than $12 million. The Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon (WPC-1113) apprehended two smugglers and seized 21 bales of cocaine after interdicting a go-fast vessel in the Caribbean Sea Aug. 2, 2020. The interdiction was the result of multi-agency efforts in support of U.S. Southern Command's enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program and the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF).
