An instructor at the Japan Coast Guard School informs U.S. Coast Guardsmen assigned to the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche (WMSL-751) about the culinary course offered to entry level students at the school during a tour in Maizuru, Japan, June 5, 2024. The tour offered an insight to U.S. Coast Guardsmen on what training is like for members of the Japanese Coast Guard. Waesche is the second U.S. Coast Guard National Security Cutter deployed to the Indo-Pacific in 2024. Coast Guard cutters routinely deploy to the region to engage with partner nations to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Elijah Murphy)
