In the wake of 9-11, Congress passed legislation creating thirteen Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSST) in the nation s most critical commercial and military ports. Since that time, the nation s maritime security needs have changed and the Coast Guard has likewise evolved to meet the new requirement with an all threats, all hazards maritime force. As this evolution has taken place, the Coast Guard developed new capabilities, such as the Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) to account for the scope and nature of the maritime threat. The Coast Guard Deployable Specialized Forces was born to address the national need to aggregate rapidly deployable forces that possess specialized training in maritime interdiction, response, and consequence management. The MSST and MSRT were intended to close a critical gap in the Coast Guard s operational portfolio. However, MSST capabilities remain largely what they were when they were created in 2002 despite an improved understanding of the maritime security environment. This paper proposes the need to reorganize Deployable Specialized Forces to meet new legislation and national maritime security mandates.
