Vice Adm. Nathan Moore, commander, Coast Guard Atlantic Area, and Cmdr. Jared Silverman, commanding officer, Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba (WMEC 907), highlight the crucial role of Atlantic Area cutters in combating Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) during a significant drug offload of nearly $50 million in contraband, Aug. 23, 2024, in Port Everglades, Florida. Coast Guard presence in the Eastern Pacific Ocean is vital in disrupting the flow of illegal narcotics, safeguarding our nation's maritime borders, and protecting American communities from the dangers posed by TCOs.
