On Coast Guard: Mission Critical, the brave men and women of the United States Coast Guard do whatever it takes to patrol and protect America's borders from drug runners, terrorists and human traffickers, all while saving the precious lives of those in peril at sea.
With a film crew embedded 24/7, the series features unprecedented access to high-octane missions that were previously off-limits to cameras.
Every episode covers multiple assignments in both US and hostile foreign waters as these real-life American heroes rescue passengers from sinking vessels, seize illegal contraband, and patrol against foreign threats of every kind.
In the series premiere, "Needle in a Haystack": When a fisherman goes missing off the Florida coast, USCG Air Station Miami is tasked with the impossible: finding a 14-foot boat in a vast, churned up Atlantic Ocean.
In the Pacific Ocean, the USCG Cutter Munro and Tactical Law Enforcement team members pursue suspected drug smugglers in international waters.
