COASTAL FORCES
U.S. Coast Guard
Coastal Forces were specialized naval units established by the Royal Navy during the First and Second World Wars, tasked with defending coastal waters and conducting offensive operations close to shore. These units operated fast, small craft such as Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs), Motor Gun Boats (MGBs), and Motor Launches (MLs), engaging enemy shipping, laying mines, and supporting amphibious operations. Coastal Forces played a vital role during the Battle of the Atlantic and in operations across the English Channel, North Sea, and Mediterranean. Their daring raids and patrols disrupted Axis supply lines and provided crucial support during major campaigns, earning a distinguished reputation for bravery and innovation.

Governors Island Security Patrol
U.S. Coast Guard
The Governors Island Security Patrol was established during World War II to safeguard the strategic installations and military assets located on Governors Island in New York Harbor. Initially composed of Army personnel, the unit’s primary mission was to conduct regular patrols, enforce security protocols, and monitor for potential sabotage or espionage activities. Throughout its active years, the Security Patrol worked closely with other military and civilian agencies to maintain the island's operational readiness. The unit continued its security functions until the gradual drawdown of military operations on Governors Island in the late 20th century.
