SANTA RITA, Guam — U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Team Guam and Korea Coast Guard (KCG) crews completed a successful week-long visit to Guam from Oct. 7 to 11, 2024, marked by shared exercises, subject matter expert (SME) exchanges, and a cultural "sports day" aimed at enhancing collaboration and fostering camaraderie between the two forces. The visit, which involved the training ship KCG 3011 Badaro (바다로호) and its crew making their second-ever visit to Guam, focused on strengthening the long-standing partnership between the USCG and KCG in maritime safety and security across the Pacific region. It builds on the trilateral letter of intent signed by representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, Japan Coast Guard, and Korea Coast Guard in May 2024 to bolster maritime cooperation. "The collaboration this week reflects our shared dedication to maritime safety and security," said Capt. Jessica Worst, commander of U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia/Sector Guam. "We've sharpened our operational skills through bilateral training and built lasting relationships that will strengthen our cooperation in the future."
