Responding in Crisis. Anywhere. Anytime.
Watch as our MH-60T Jayhawk Aircrew from @USCG Air Station Borinquen hoists 2 people to safety from the bottom of a shoreside cliff in Fajardo, Puerto Rico last Saturday. The survivors, an 18-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man, were stranded after attempting to climb the cliff because of a worsening sea state.
This is our sacred trust in action: Answering the call, working seamlessly with local partners, and saving lives in the most challenging environments.

Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman, today they have ZERO. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked international shipping in the Gulf of Oman for decades. Those days are over. Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned American and global economic prosperity for more than 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it.
Late on Feb. 16, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Eleven male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions, 4 on the first vessel in the Eastern Pacific, 4 on the second vessel in the Eastern Pacific, and 3 on the third vessel in the Caribbean. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share the passing of K-9 Rip yesterday.
Rip honorably served as part of ATF SRT Team 3, completing more than 300 high-risk missions nationwide alongside his handler. Amanda Bolyard did an amazing job caring for him during four years of retirement from the ATF Special Response Team Three. 🐾💙
Did you know EK9 teams are trained to spot thousands of threats and specialize in search techniques for people screening? Mission‑ready, court‑secure, and nationally trusted. 🐾

Thirty seconds of pure joy.
They give everything on every call and today they get a little piece of Christmas back.

This working dog rides with his handler on missions. Inside the helicopter, the noise is loud and the air shakes. Still, the dog stays calm, watching and waiting for the next command. 💪🐾
