Coast Guard Cutter James and Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron Interdict Suspected Drug Smuggling Vessel
U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area
March 11, 2017 | 1:18
The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter James along with embarked crew members from Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron interdict a suspected drug smuggling vessel in the Eastern Pacific Ocean March 11, 2017, marking HITRON's 500th drug interdiction. HITRON helicopters operate in known smuggling vectors and rely on expertly trained aircrews and precision marksmen to disable go-fast drug smuggling vessels in the event suspects refuse to comply with verbal and visual warnings for law enforcement boardings in accordance with international maritime law.
