Einsatzgeschichte |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As part of FRONTIER LANCE, a
mostly secret operation within an operation, named Operation NEW
FRONTIER was conducted. Despite intel-ligence cueing, surface assets
could not match the speed of the “go-fasts.” Helicopters on board the
larger cutters could keep up with the “go-fasts” and keep them under
surveillance until they required refueling but they had no means of
forcing them to stop. Any serious attempt to stop the “go-fasts” would
require a drastic change in capabilities. The Commandant directed that a
proof of concept operation using armed Coast Guard helicopters to
interdict and apprehend “go-fasts” be conducted.

Im Rahmen von FRONTIER LANCE
wurde eine weitgehend geheime Operation innerhalb einer Operation namens NEW
FRONTIER durchgeführt. Trotz nachrichtendienstlicher Hinweise konnten die
Oberflächenressourcen nicht mit der Geschwindig-keit der „go-fasts“
mithalten. Hubschrauber an Bord der grösseren Kutter konnten mit den „Go-Fasts“
mithalten und sie bis zum Auftanken überwachen, aber sie hatten keine
Möglichkeit, sie zum Anhal-ten zu zwingen. Jeder ernsthafte Versuch, die „go-fasts“
zu stoppen, würde eine drastische Änderung der Fähigkeiten erfordern. Der
Kommandant ord-nete an, dass eine Proof-of-Concept-Operation mit bewaffneten
Hubschraubern der Coast Guard durchgeführt wird, um „go-fasts“ zu
unterbinden und festzunehmen. |
