CGIA3

The Coast Guard Industry Academy Cohort 3 is well under way!  CGIA is a comprehensive program designed to strengthen industry knowledge of and collaboration with the Coast Guard mission. The program consists of four component sessions over a one-year period.  For CGIA3, the opening session in Puerto Rico had the cohort visiting and learning from both Sector San Juan and Air Station Borinquen.  Our traditional trip to Kodiak, Alaska – the largest USCG base and to Sector Seattle was completed in July.  Throughout both visits, the cohort learned about the specific mission set at each and took part in various training missions.  

U.S. Coast Guard officers and senior leadership throughout participated in several discussions, focusing on major strategic initiatives including: Securing Maritime Borders, Facilitating Commerce, Maritime Security and Counterterrorism, Inland Waterways, Sovereignty and Presence in Polar Regions, and Acquisitions as well as programs for all USCG personnel and local challenges.
