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.
On July 23, 2026, Atomic Defense supplied tactical bags to U.S. Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center personnel. This follows a July 22 warning from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that the U.S. Coast Guard’s Polar Security Cutter program faces further delays, with the first heavy icebreaker now projected for delivery in March 2033, almost a decade later than originally planned and with costs exceeding $6 billion. The GAO report cited unresolved construction risks, a planned 40% expansion of the shipyard workforce, and a lack of a fully validated production schedule. Previously, on July 21, the Solomon Islands invited the U.S. Coast Guard to patrol its waters with local police under a new ship-rider deal, signaling a more balanced approach after signing a security pact with China in 2022. On July 20, the Coast Guard announced plans for a potential $100 million IT services contract, the COMPASS Call for Legacy Systems, to support application development, modernization, and sustainment across enterprise information systems. Earlier on the same day, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance reinstated the service's "Top 10 Videos of the Year" tradition as part of its 236th birthday celebration.
