Guarding Alaska by Captain Jeffrey Hartman PDF Summary

Book Description: Alaska represents twenty percent of the land area, twenty percent of the oil production, forty percent of the fresh water of the United States, but after Wyoming, its the least populated state. Despite that contradiction, the state has an abundance of natural resources, history, and adventureespecially for the members of the Coast Guard that oversee its massive coastline. Captain Jeffrey Hartman served four tours of duty in Alaska with the Coast Guard. He outlines the history of Alaska and its culture and describes his experiences overseeing a number of rescue missions there. Hartman illustrates with personal experience the challenges and dangers the Service faces in carrying out its missions protecting the Alaska people, environment and maritime infrastructure. He flew helicopters from Coast Guard icebreakers, on rescue and law enforcement missions and managed the search and rescue program on Alaskas waters. Guarding Alaska explains the many important functions that the Coast Guard serves and also examines how its changed in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Youll feel like youre in the middle of the action as you gain a deeper appreciation for the state and the people who protect it.
