NYPD and Coast Guard boats patrol the East River outside the United Nations headquarters, Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2022, in New York. UNITED NATIONS — — This week, the United Nations is the world's premier venue for current events — which, one could say, is the forte of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The U.N. General Assembly makes for “the largest maritime security operation in the nation,” said U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Kyle Weist, the emergency management chief for the New York sector. “The entire operation lasts two weeks and consists of 20 small boats and crews, four Coast Guard ships, two helicopters and 12 law enforcement boarding teams.” Weist said via email. “These assets and crews are mobilized from units throughout the nation and deploy to NYC to support this critical maritime safety and security mission.”
