Unite States of America CGC Steadfast (WMEC-623)
STEADFAST is currently under the OPCON and ADCON of COMPACAREA. As a Coast Guard resource, we are deployed anywhere along the western seaboard of North and Central America. Our primary operational areas are divided into three regions - D11, D13 and JIAFTW. During D13 patrols, we operate off the Oregon and Washington coast out to usually no more than 200 nautical miles. Our main emphasis while on D13 patrols is enforcing living marine resource laws and regulations (fisheries). D11 patrols focus on detecting and interdicting drug and migrant smuggling activity along the Southern California coast and the Northern to Central West Coast of Mexico. JIATFW patrols are strictly counter-drug operations along the West Coast of Central and Southern Mexico and Central America. Another region we may be called upon to assist is D17 for Alaska fisheries enforcement; STEADFAST has not patrolled in D17 in the last four years.
