Post by Jonathan James, VFC

This week's photo was snapped by Todd Mains while conducting training evolution's with Coast Guard Station Portland. If you have any photos of us executing our missions, please send them to me so I may share them with our shipmates and people who follow our blog.

PORTLAND, OR - Coast Guard Small Boat, 25430 makes a 

hard turn to Port while executing a blocking maneuver to protect the high 

value asset they are escorting in a training exercise. Auxiliary vessels and crews

are routinely used as platforms for the active duty to use in training. In this case, 

Auxiliary OFAC 222051 was used as the high value asset.
