The Non-Compliant Vessel Pursuit (NCVP) program has been instrumental in stopping tons of illicit drugs and thousands of illegal migrants. Since its’ inception in 1999, as part of Operation New Frontier, the surface use of force (SUF) program has matured significantly and been expanded to include, not only cutter boats but also shore based boats, and deployable specialized forces (DSF). While the tactics and tools have continued to evolve, there are still critical components missing from the program. Aggression and violence by illegal operatives has steadily intensified over the last decade, and has already claimed the life of one Coast Guardsman. Failure to ensure pursuit proficiency will result in a significant escalation of risk, as our crews are more frequently exposed to NCVP …show more content…

The HPC dictates that optimum performance is achieved through Clear Guidance (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures or TTP), Relevant Training, and Quality Assessment. Coast Guard pursuit TTP’s are well documented in the Boat Operations and Training Manual Volume III (BOAT III), Maritime Law Enforcement Manual (MLEM), and Surface Dis-engage/Re-engage(SDRE) TTP.

Conflicts, large and small, have continued to evolve into more joint, and multinational, in nature. EF21 stresses that the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), and Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) construct as a whole, will continue to be the basis for providing the nation a forward deployed crisis response presence. However, this construct needs to evolve in two very distinct ways: increase the ability operate in a disaggregated manner as required, as well as able to seamlessly composite into a larger force when needed. These two seemly distinct requirements may seem contradictory in nature but are able to be achieved through the reorganization that EF21 promotes. MEUs have already become more familiar and skilled at conducting disaggregated operations, but with limited recent historical examples of compositing, the main effort for refinement is the Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) and its ability to effectively composite already deployed MEUs into a larger unit.
