Coast Guard Station to Host Ground Breaking Ceremony
July 25, 2006
U.S. Coast Guard Station Washington, D.C., will host a groundbreaking ceremony at Bolling Air Force Base on Wednesday. The future facility on the grounds of Bolling AFB will provide Station Washington crew members the infrastructure required to sustain and support their mission in the National Capital Region. Over the past three years the men and women of Station Washington have pioneered ports, waterways, and coastal security operations in the capital region while operating out of portable trailer.
This new facility will provide the crew enhanced operational capabilities in the NCR while providing state of the art equipment to allow for sustained command and control, deterrence, detection and prevention of further terrorist attacks in the waters around our nation's capital.
