U.S. Coast Guardsmen join forces with Los Angeles Co. Sheriffs Air Units and Los Angeles Fire Dept. boat crews for their K9 Vertical Insertion training at Coast Guard Base Los Angeles-Long Beach, May 3, 2023. This specialized training ensures K9 Handlers and their canine partners from the Maritime Safety and Security Team are prepared for rapid response to threats, hone their skills, and obtain the best search behavior from the canines during insertion operations.
