The diverse command of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia, circa 2020. PATFORSWA is composed of six 110-foot cutters, shoreside support personnel, and the Maritime Engagement Team. The unit also supports other U.S. Coast Guard deployable specialized forces operating throughout the CENTCOM area of responsibility. Since the establishment of PATFORSWA in 2002, the U.S. Coast Guard’s unique skillset has been in high demand within the CENTCOM AOR, where counter-smuggling operations through the Combined Maritime Forces and Visit Board Search and Seizure operations have grown increasingly vital.
