The emphasis is on deterrence and disruption of unlawful maritime operations, including drug running, through collaboration with regional stakeholders. Both outlets present the same core message: the U.S. Coast Guard is working to strengthen Pacific-wide cooperation to counter criminal networks operating in and around Oceania.
