Every day, Coast Guard cutters are on patrol to secure our borders, disrupt cartels, and interdict illegal drugs before they reach American shores. These operations culminated in a major milestone this week, as the Coast Guard surpassed 80,000 pounds of illicit drugs interdicted since January 21. This achievement comes as U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) deploys two U.S. Navy warships to the southern border to support Department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard law enforcement operations. The crew of CGC Stone has been on the front lines of those operations. As the Coast Guard continues to control, secure, and defend our borders and maritime approaches, CGC Stone’s drug interdiction efforts are a testament to the Coast Guard’s commitment to mission excellence!

Defending America through Operation Pacific Viper. The crew of #USCG Cutter Forward, with an embarked Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) team, interdicted a drug-smuggling self-propelled semi-submersible (SPSS) in the Eastern Pacific. Though the SPSS sank after its four crew were apprehended, this interdiction prevented an estimated 17,600 pounds of cocaine – more than 6 million potentially lethal doses – from reaching our shores. Bravo Zulu to Cutter Forward and HITRON crews, who continue our operations to counter narco-terrorists and secure U.S. borders and maritime approaches. Read more from USCG Southwest here:

Same mission, new look. Our elite Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON) is getting a fresh paint job across all its MH-65 Dolphins. The new “Blackfin” on the 65s’ rudder commemorates HITRON’s most successful fiscal year on record, and the milestone of surpassing 1,000 interdictions. Through a year where U.S. Coast Guard seized 511K+ lbs of cocaine – 3X our annual average – HITRON has been the tip of the spear.

In the late 1990s, maritime interdiction rates for narcotics were below 10 percent due to high-speed smuggling vessels. In response, the U.S. Coast Guard formed an experimental aviation unit, pioneering Airborne Use of Force. The Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron’s success fundamentally changed counter-narcotic strategy. We’re proud of HITRON’s 1,000+ drug interdictions. Find out what goes into each one. Monday, we’ll share a deep-dive of this game-changing mission against narco-terrorists. #USCG #HITRON #MaritimeSecurity #DrugInterdiction Homeland Security
