(U.S. COAST GUARD) – From the hangar to the open skies, the MH-65 Dolphin helicopter remains a vital tool in the Coast Guard’s mission to safeguard lives, protect coastlines, and ensure maritime security.

At U.S. Coast Guard Air Stations, crews dedicate themselves to relentless training so they are prepared to respond at a moment’s notice.

The orange and white aircraft is instantly recognizable, often spotted skimming low across the water or hovering above a distressed vessel.

For the men and women who fly it, the helicopter represents more than machinery. It is a lifeline for those in peril. Their preparation covers a wide range of scenarios, from daring search and rescue operations to law enforcement missions and disaster response efforts.

In the Southeast District, the commitment of these crews is evident in their readiness to launch at any hour, under any conditions.

The Coast Guard emphasizes that this level of preparedness does not happen by chance but through constant drills, teamwork, and an unwavering sense of duty.

Air crews carry with them a reputation for being ready to respond whenever they are called upon, a promise summed up in their enduring motto, ‘Always Ready.’
