Coast Guard Relocation:
For more on Coast Guard Relocation
I have helped Coast Guard families moving into the Hampton Roads area purchase homes near their work from Portsmouth to Chesapeake to North Carolina.
I'm familiar with the area and the drive times to the Coast Guard facilities.
Give me a call with where your orders have you working and I'll work with you to get you the right home in the right place.
My husband has been flying with the Coast Guard Auxiliary for many years. Together we have grown to know many in the Coast Guard family. In addition we know the area and school systems. Let me help you make your stay here a very pleasant one.
From its home in Portsmouth, Va., the
LantArea Command Center coordinates homeland security, law enforcement, and
rescue missions that occur on the high seas across and outside district
boundaries.
Group Hampton Roads follows six strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime mobility, maritime security, national defense, protection of natural resources, and most recently, homeland defense. This multi-mission unit, from Portsmouth, Virginia, has an area of responsibility including the lower half of the Chesapeake Bay and adjacent waters in the Atlantic Ocean. Group Hampton Roads is a subordinate unit of the Fifth Coast Guard District and a tenant command of Coast Guard Integrated Support Command, Portsmouth, VA. The Group has engineering support personnel, command staff, operations and communications personnel, and supply and administrative support personnel.
The Group consists of commissioned Officers, Chief Warrant Officers, Senior Chief Petty Officer, Chief Petty Officers, Enlisted personnel, Reservists, and Auxiliarists. The Group, and its units, are responsible for maritime law enforcement, recreational boating safety, and maintenance of aids to navigation; which include, the Chesapeake Light Tower, Cape Henry Lighthouse, Cape Charles Lighthouse, and Rappahannock Range. As the primary search and rescue responder for the lower Chesapeake Bay and adjacent offshore waters, Group Hampton Roads supervises over 1,500 search and rescue cases a year. Most of these are controlled by the Group Operations Center which is jointly manned by personnel from the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Hampton Roads. Group units conduct an average of 660 law enforcement boardings each year. These boardings include: enforcement of boating safety laws, fisheries regulations, commercial fishing vessel safety, and drug trafficking. Personnel from the Group Engineering department provide maintenance support to Group units as well as the larger cutters based in Hampton Roads.
