Members of a Coast Guard Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) perform a vertical insertion on the USS Cape St. George during a joint U.S.-Canadian training exercise in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Wash. The exercise strengthened military-to-military relationships and improved readiness and joint operations between U.S. and Canadian forces. MSRTs are highly trained counter-terrorism units and were created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
