The US Coast Guard has been busy with its new HC-130Js, hauling an MH-68A helicopter from the west coast, where it had been used in a drug interdiction, back to its home station in Jacksonville, Florida. In May, another MH-68 was flown from Jacksonville to the west coast. The unit also transported the members of Coast Guard Port Security Unit 308 on the final leg home after being deployed in Kuwait for seven months. The HC-130J crew, based at CGAS Elizabeth City, North Carolina, flew the team from NAS Norfolk, Virginia, to Gulfport, Mississippi, on 11 March. While deployed to the port of Ash Shuaiba, Kuwait, PSU 308 ensured the safe flow of equipment and supplies to coalition forces participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
