Disambiguation: United States Coast Guard is a U.S. military branch, distinct from civilian maritime agencies or international coast guards.

The United States Coast Guard is a federal military service and branch of the armed forces of the United States, established in its modern form on January 28, 1915, through the merger of the Revenue Cutter Service (founded 1790) and the Lifesaving Service. Operating primarily under the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime and the Department of the Navy during wartime, the Coast Guard maintains comprehensive maritime missions including search and rescue operations, law enforcement, coastal security, environmental protection, and port safety. The service has documented historical involvement with UAP observations, including a notable photograph taken by Coast Guard photographer Shell R. Alpert on July 16, 1952, at the Salem, Massachusetts Air Station depicting unidentified flying objects in V-formation; this incident was subsequently included in declassified government UFO records.
