Talk about a year. A record hurricane season, renewed focus on the Arctic and counternarcotics, vessel construction, even greater emphasis on professional development, COVID-19, and a continued focus on diversity efforts the U.S. Coast Guard saw a little bit of everything in 2020. In it all, the common denominator was people. The Coast Guard would not have been able to continually answer the call if not for its service men and women. It has always understood the power of a diverse workforce in race, gender, experience, education, and opinion and it leverages those differences to be the world’s best coast guard.
