USCG Group Galveston

USCG Group Galveston was a United States Coast Guard command responsible for overseeing Coast Guard operations along the upper Texas Gulf Coast, primarily centered around Galveston, Texas. Established to coordinate search and rescue, law enforcement, and maritime safety missions, the unit managed several small boat stations and aids to navigation in its area of responsibility. Throughout its operational history, Group Galveston played a vital role during hurricanes, oil spills, and maritime emergencies, supporting both local and national objectives. In the early 2000s, as part of service-wide organizational changes, Group Galveston was merged into the larger USCG Sector Houston-Galveston to streamline command and control functions.
