USCG Group, San Francisco

USCG Group San Francisco was a United States Coast Guard command unit responsible for overseeing Coast Guard operations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Established in the early 20th century, the Group coordinated search and rescue, law enforcement, and maritime safety missions across one of the nation’s busiest ports. Throughout its history, the unit played a key role in responding to maritime emergencies, environmental protection efforts, and supporting national defense operations along California’s coastline. In the early 2000s, USCG Group San Francisco was reorganized under the Coast Guard’s modernization plan, transitioning its responsibilities to Sector San Francisco to enhance operational effectiveness.
