Leadership When There Is No Playbook: 9/11, Coast Guard Activities New York and RDML Richard Bennis

SEATTLE, Wash. (July 3) --- Smiles abound after the commissioning ceremony of the Coast Guard's first Marine Safety and Security Team in Seattle. MSSTs are domestic mobile units that possess specialized training capabilities to perform a wide spectrum of port safety and security operations. They are modeled after the Coast Guard's Port Security Units (PSUs) and Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs). MSSTs are being established to protect military load-outs; enforce security zones; defend critical waterside facilities in strategic ports; stop illegal activities, such as narcotics trafficking or illegal migrants; and provide a modest level of shore side protection.
