Juneau, the Capital City of Alaska, is the Home of the 17th Coast Guard District Command Cadre. Juneau could be considered the Hub of the 17th Coast Guard District in Alaska.
More than 1,900 members of "Team Coast Guard" accomplish a wide variety of missions in the 17th District. In a state that spans a distance normally covered by four time zones - with a coastline larger than that of the Lower 48 - it is easy to see the importance of the Coast Guard in Alaska.
More than 1,800 active-duty members serve in Alaska. Helping with the missions are 400 Auxiliarists, 50 reservists and 140 civilian employees.
Because Alaska is a maritime state, search and rescue is an important mission. During fiscal year 1997, the Coast Guard here conducted 1,140 search and rescue cases and saved 331 lives.
Fisheries law enforcement is also an important mission in Alaska. During fiscal 1997, units working in Alaska waters conducted more than 655 fisheries boardings to enforce international treaty obligations and U.S. fisheries regulations.
There are 12 floating units based in Alaska: four 180-foot buoy tenders; one 175-foot buoy tender; five 110-foot patrol boats; three medium-endurance cutters; and one 65-foot buoy tender. Two small-boat stations with three 41-foot utility boats round out the district's floating assets. Augmenting the district's law enforcement efforts are several medium and high-endurance cutters that routinely patrol Alaskan waters from the West Coast and Hawaii.
Six C-130 aircraft and 12 helicopters based at air stations Kodiak and Sitka provide additional platforms for law enforcement, marine environmental protection, search and rescue, and logistics support.
Alaska's waterways are its lifelines, making environmental protection and marine safety a major concern for our three Marine Safety Offices (MSO's). The MSO's and their five detachments, along with Vessel Traffic Service Valdez, meet these concerns.
Six buoy tenders and an aids-to-navigation team maintain nearly 1,300 navigational aids. Three of the district's six Long Range Navigation (LORAN) stations are among the Coast Guard's last isolated units. These aids, like the men and women of the 17th District, stand by ready to serve the people of the "Last Frontier."
