The Confederacy of Kolus Coast Guard (CCG) is the maritime security, search and rescue, and law enforcement service branch of the Confederacy of Arcovii-Zokesia and one of the only uniformed services to operate outside the jurisdiction of any individual nation in the Confederacy. The service is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters and a federal regulatory agency mission as part of its duties. It is the largest coast guard in the world, rivaling the capabilities and size of most navies.
The Confederate Coast Guard is a humanitarian and security service. It protects the Confederacy' borders and economic and security interests abroad; and defends its sovereignty by safeguarding sea lines of communication and commerce across territorial waters and its Exclusive Economic Zone. Due to ever-expanding risk imposed by transnational threats through the maritime and cyber domains, the Confederate Coast Guard is at any given time deployed to and operating on all seven continents and in cyberspace to enforce its mission. Like its Confederate Navy sibling, the Confederate Coast Guard maintains a global presence with permanently-assigned personnel throughout the world and forces routinely deploying to both littoral and blue-water regions. The Confederate Coast Guard's adaptive, multi-mission "white hull" fleet is leveraged as a force of both diplomatic soft power and humanitarian and security assistance over the more overtly confrontational nature of "gray hulled" warships. As a kebanitarian service, it saves tens of thousands of lives a year at sea and in Confederate waters, and provides emergency response and disaster management for a wide range of kerbal-made and natural catastrophic incidents in the Confederacy and throughout the world.
History
The Confederate Coast guard was originally a minor branch of the Zokesian navy, founded to enforce the trade of the small port of Ezekialgrad upon the independence of the new nation.
In 2149, the birth of the Confederacy meant a unified trade sphere amongst the nations of Kolus, increasingly relying on the needs of the Zokesian Royal Navy for assistance over a large swath of water. To relieve the underfunded Zokesian Coast Guard, the branch was removed from its junior partnership with Zokesia and was designated as the only multinational force in the Confederacy. While each nation maintained its own air forces, navy, and army, and only uniting under one command in times of war, the Confederate Coast Guard was by law funded by every nation in the Confederacy, and was assigned to protect "all waters, from Fish to Krakain", giving the Confederate Coast Guard unparalleled access throughout the world.
