    Two individuals wearing matching navy blue long-sleeve shirts with what appears to be a Coast Guard insignia are working at the tailgate of a pickup truck. One person is leaning over to inspect or open a hard-sided equipment case, while the other stands holding a document or binder. They appear to be conducting an equipment check or inventory in an outdoor area near shipping containers.

    A U.S. Coast Guard dive team from the Regional Dive Locker in Hawai’i prepare to begin work on Buoy 2 at the Outer Apra Harbor entrance of Guam on July 8, 2026. The buoy moved off station during the storm into the channel, where vessels expect safe water, preventing large commercial vessel traffic from entering the port. U.S. Coast Guard crews continue to assess aids to navigation, waterways, and channel conditions across the Marianas following Super Typhoon Bavi, working toward reopening ports to commercial operations as soon as it is safe to do so.

    Two United States Coast Guard (USCG) personnel stand on a stone pier or seawall overlooking a vivid turquoise ocean. One member, facing the camera at an angle, is pointing toward something in the water or on the distant coastline while appearing to speak to the other. The setting suggests a tropical or subtropical Pacific island location, consistent with the 'Forces Micronesia' text visible on one cap.
    The image shows the interior cockpit of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, with multiple crew members in olive green flight suits seated at their stations. Three crew members are visible from behind, wearing aviation headsets and facing forward toward the instrument panels and windscreen. The aircraft appears to be on the ground at an airfield, with runway and ground markings visible through the large cockpit windows.
    A U.S. Coast Guard vessel numbered 45753 is being lifted by a yellow spreader bar rigging attached to a red lattice boom crane at a waterfront dock. Several workers in high-visibility safety gear are on the pier overseeing the lift operation. The setting appears to be a harbor or port facility, possibly during post-storm recovery operations based on the damaged vegetation visible in the background.
    A man in a navy blue t-shirt and khaki shorts sits on a black equipment case, putting on neoprene dive booties while a dive knife is strapped to his lower leg. A second person in dark blue uniform and cap stands in the background near a dark pickup truck. Gear on the ground and a water bottle with U.S. Coast Guard Diving stickers suggest a pre-dive preparation scenario.
    Two individuals wearing matching navy blue long-sleeve shirts with what appears to be a Coast Guard insignia are working at the tailgate of a pickup truck. One person is leaning over to inspect or open a hard-sided equipment case, while the other stands holding a document or binder. They appear to be conducting an equipment check or inventory in an outdoor area near shipping containers.
    A harbor scene showing a white Coast Guard or military patrol vessel docked at a concrete pier. A tanker truck bearing 'Pacific Unlimited Inc.' branding is positioned alongside the vessel, likely conducting a fueling operation. Yellow bollards and a fire hydrant are visible in the foreground, with additional tugboats docked in the background.
    A U.S. Coast Guard vessel numbered 45753 is navigating through turquoise coastal waters near a tree-lined shoreline. The boat, featuring a distinctive orange inflatable collar hull, has several crew members visible on deck wearing orange life vests. Industrial structures with smokestacks are faintly visible in the background on the left.
    A U.S. Coast Guard Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) with a distinctive orange inflatable collar is docked at a concrete pier in what appears to be a tropical or subtropical waterway with turquoise-green water. Several personnel in blue Coast Guard uniforms are visible on the dock, appearing to handle mooring lines. A second Coast Guard vessel is visible in the background near mangrove vegetation.
    A U.S. Coast Guard member stands under a covered outdoor structure near a coastline, holding a handheld radio to his ear and carrying binoculars. The surrounding environment shows storm-damaged palm trees bent and stripped of foliage, suggesting recent severe weather. The setting appears to be a coastal park or recreational area, likely in a tropical U.S. territory.
    A person wearing a dark navy uniform t-shirt with a patch and a matching cap is using binoculars to scan a turbulent ocean from an elevated coastal vantage point. The scene suggests post-storm or rough weather conditions, evidenced by wind-battered palm trees and choppy turquoise waters. The individual appears to be conducting maritime surveillance or search-and-rescue observation duties.
    A U.S. Coast Guard personnel member carrying a backpack walks across a tarmac toward a U.S. Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircraft bearing tail number 2002. The aircraft displays the distinctive Coast Guard livery with red and white diagonal stripe markings and a U.S. star insignia on the tail. The scene appears to take place at a coastal or island airfield under partly cloudy skies.
