Defense budget planners debating the Overseas Contingency Operations fund are forgetting about one major national security service. The Coast Guard has an annual budget of about $10 billion a year. And its active duty roster is smaller than the number of employees at the New York City Police Department. Retired Rear Adm. Terry McKnight is the former commander of the Expeditionary Strike Group. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose that no other service “does more with less” than the Coast Guard.

FILE - In this Aug. 18, 2020, file photo, mail delivery vehicles are parked outside a post office in Boys Town, Neb. The U.S. Postal Service says it has cleared the final regulatory hurdle to placing orders for next-generation mail vehicles. That keeps the Postal Service on track for taking delivery of the first of the electric- and gas-powered delivery vehicles next year. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022 that the completion of an evaluation required by the National Environmental Policy Act is an important milestone for postal carriers who’ve soldiered on with overworked delivery trucks that went into service from 1987 to 1994.
