Members of the Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team in San Diego, Calif., are trained to respond to a variety of incidents—from weapons and drug intercepts to suspected security threats. Training can be grueling. Here, the team is near midpoint in its final 12-hour session, most of which takes place in darkness. At 0130 hours, having just finished a challenging round of capsizing and righting an inflatable vessel, the team and its two instructors head back to the boat launch. The floodlight shining on the ramp is the only illumination. US Coast Guard Art Program 2010 Collection, Ob ID # 201001, "TACLET 0130 hours," Del-Bouree Bach, acrylic, 14 x 20
