Coast Guard Pot Security Units
IDoing
Fine Job of Guarding Waterfronts
With two years of experience to
their credit, Coast Guard port se-
curity units today are on the alert
to fulfill the responsibilities that
become increasingly great each
day as the quickening tempo of
the Pacific war results in more
and more concentration of war
shipping in the Thirteenth Naval
District ports.
Formation of Port Security un-
its began February 25, just two
years ago in the Pacific North-
west and in other port cities thru-
out the country. By now' these
units have been welded into train-
ed. experienced forces which al-
ready have saved many a water-
front from disaster and which are
prepared for the ever-growing
task of getting overseas ship-
ments away.
In Seattle, Washington, in
Portland, Oregon and a dozen
lesser ports of these two states
billions of dollars worth of war
material today is concentrated.
To see that bombs, guns, planes
and other equipment are guarded
on the docks, that they are loaded
properly that possible saboteurs
and other dangers are kept away
is the job of the Coast Guard.
Port Security units were an
outgrowth of first World War
memories-memories of the Black
Tom disaster and numerous other
cases of fire, sabotage and dis-
ruption of the war effort. Shortly
after Pearl Harbor government of-
ficials decided to turn the job of
ments of munitions and other war'
material from ports in this areal
become increasingly important,"
Port Security officers said in re-
viewing the two years of work
done by their units. “Seattle, be-
cause it is the gateway to Alas-
ka has been of vital importance
since before Pearl Harbor and it
and all other ports in the area
play leading roles in South Paci-
fic shipments.” ‘
Supervision of munitions load--.
ing, however, is only one func-i
tion of the port security units.
Guardsmen patrol all parts of thel
waterfront day and night, smalll
patrol craft keep a constant
watch from the water side.
g Fire barges and shore fire units,
Snot only fight fires but maintain
3a constant fire prevention pro-
?gram. Armed Guardsmen keep an
eye on all waterfront workers and
others, always checking identifi-
‘cation cards and watching for at-
itempted spying or sabotage.
As a result of all this there
have been no acts of sabotage and
no outstanding disasters on Paci-l
\fic Northwest waterfronts in thisl
lwar. And in other parts of the,
country there have been none of
lthe great seaport disasters that
marred the first World War ef-
fort.
In the Thirteenth Naval Dis-
trict there are at present 10 maior
captain of the port units and sev-
eral of these have subsidiary units.

Coast Guardsmen rove thru

smoking and that all other regu-

Other Guardsmen at the wharf
