USN and USCG Unit deploys to the War ZONE
I wonder if this is a long expected deployment or in anticipation of action with Iran. What's your sense of it, SandRat?
I did this very mission last year. Coastal Warfare is made up almost entirely of reservists (although that is changing). The deployments go east coast west coast east coast west coast. NCW sailors are some of the most deployed reservists in the country.
NCW is now part of the Navy's new Navy Expeditionary Combat Command whichc comprises the Seabees, NCW, EOD, Mobile Security Detachments, and a few others.
