Communication Area Master Station Atlantic

The Communication Area Master Station Atlantic (CAMSLANT) is a key United States Coast Guard communications facility, established to provide command, control, and communications support across the Atlantic region. Commissioned in 1995 and located in Chesapeake, Virginia, CAMSLANT consolidated several smaller Coast Guard communication stations to streamline operations and improve efficiency. The unit manages long-range radio communications, supports search and rescue operations, and coordinates maritime safety information broadcasts. Over the years, CAMSLANT has played a vital role in both routine operations and emergency response, enhancing the Coast Guard’s ability to safeguard maritime interests along the Atlantic seaboard.
