Canadian Coast Guard in Georgia 2013
In February and March 2013, helicopters and
rescue swimmers from Canada traveled all the
way to southeast Georgia to train for rescues
at sea. This allowed the Canadians the
opportunity to escape the bitter cold at home
and train in warmer waters with their
American colleagues. Training partners
included aviators from Coast Guard Air
Station Savannah and research vessels from
Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary off the
Georgia coast.
Military Reporter Michael Jordan's news report on the training aired on WSAV-TV 3/NBC in Savannah. |
