摘要: The U. S. Coast Guard is charged with numerous responsibilities to protect inland and coastal waterways. Missions include maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, marine environmental response, protection of marine sanctuaries, alien migration interdiction, drug interdiction, boating safety, port safety and security, and military support. To help execute and enforce these missions when encountering a non-compliant vessel (NCV) the U.S. Coast Guard employs a Use of Force Continuum. This continuum consists of a series of escalating steps that range from the command presence of the U.S. Coast Guard asset up to and including disabling fire. Furthermore, if an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury exists at any point, then deadly force may be used by the U.S. Coast Guard in order to eliminate that threat. For vessels encountered during security zone violations, it can be difficult to determine the intent, and subsequently apply the appropriate use of force step, given the compressed amount of time available. The time it can take to go from one step to another varies from seconds to minutes, and depending upon the perceived threat, some steps may be skipped. During operation, only two rounds per engagement are needed because two rounds provide enough signal to ensure that the boater clearly understands that there is a U.S. Coast Guard law enforcement presence trying to get their attention. For training, it will take 6 rounds per person to qualify for the year.
