Die United States Coast Guard ( USCG, Küstenwache ) hat in den USA einen besonderen Stellenwert, da diese als Teilstreitkraft dem Militär eingeordnet wird, in Friedenszeiten jedoch dem Ministerium für innere Sicherheit untersteht. Nur im Kriegsfall wie dem 2. Weltkrieg oder dem Vietnamkrieg untersteht sie direkt dem Militär.
