In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Coast Guard
immediately mobilized more than 2,000 Reservists
in the largest homeland defense and port security operation since World War II.
The Coast Guard increased its vigilance, readiness, and patrols
to protect the country’s 95,000 miles of coastline,
including the Great Lakes and inland waterways.
