The crew of USCGC Myrtle Hazard (WPC 1139), supplemented by the U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia/Sector Guam’s Sector Boarding Team, board a commercial vessel approaching Guam on Feb. 13, 2025, to conduct a security boarding. The crew completed a multi-mission patrol from Feb. 3 to Feb. 24, 2025, strengthening maritime border security across the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) surrounding Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and the approaches to our ports from the high seas. Covering nearly 1,700 nautical miles, the crew provided critical presence, enforced federal laws, and responded to search and rescue cases under Operation Blue Pacific and Operation Rematau.
