Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk crew strengthens security cooperation with port visit in Côte d’Ivoire

U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk's crew arrived in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, for a scheduled port visit Aug. 12. While in Abidjan, the Mohawk crew exchanged with Côte d’Ivoire maritime forces on medical response treatment, close quarters combat and casualty care, illegal contraband collection and handling, and visit, board, search and seizure demonstrations. Over the last decade, the U.S. has increased maritime security cooperation with partners on Africa’s Atlantic coast to improve maritime domain awareness and the protection of their sovereign waters.
