The U.S. Coast Guard is a state-owned entity headquartered in the US, founded in 1790, and operates with approximately 27,900 employees as a branch of the armed forces.
The U.S. Coast Guard began a $32 million airfield reconstruction project at Base Elizabeth City in Northeastern North Carolina on July 10, modernizing Runway 1-19, upgrading taxiways, and installing new airfield lighting in partnership with RQ Construction. Earlier that day, the service awarded a $230 million design-build contract for new operational support facilities at Coast Guard Base Charleston, South Carolina, as part of a multi-year infrastructure expansion plan that has seen over $440 million in recent upgrades. Also on July 10, the Coast Guard reopened the Port of Tinian to daylight operations, partially lifting restrictions and restoring maritime commerce flow after deploying an aids to navigation positioner with the USCGC Myrtle Hazard (WPC 1139) to determine aids positions, though VHF communications remain limited. Previously, on July 9, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a request for proposals (RFP) for up to seven Homeland Security Cutter-Light (HSC-L) vessels, formally initiating the procurement process for its next generation of light icebreakers to replace a fleet that has served for over six decades.
