U.S. Coast Guard Judge Advocate General

The mission of the U.S. Coast Guard is to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests — in the nation's ports and waterways, along the coast, on international waters, or in any maritime region as required to support national security. As one of the five branches of the Armed Forces, the U.S. Coast Guard is vital to our nation's safety and security. CGJAG's mission is to work together to deliver expert legal services across the full spectrum of Coast Guard missions that promote their effective, efficient, lawful, and safe execution, and we support Coast Guard people.
