Video Report - Ireland
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
This is the last video report from our trip. We stop to refuel in Ireland and took advantage of the stop to meet with the Irish Coast Guard and the Ministry of Transport. FYI, senior maritime officials in Ireland (and the UK) wear business dress, thus the coat and tie. There are additional photos on FLICKR.
In general the trip underscored our value to our DOD Combatant Commanders, the increasing relevance of Coast Guards and Coast Guard-like agencies around the world, the global issue of unregulated small vessels, the need to coordinate our efforts to combat piracy, and the current and future importance of engagement on the African continent.
