Présentation de la section

The Deployable Operations Group (DoG) is a United States Coast Guard command that provides properly equipped, trained and organized Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF) to Coast Guard, DHS, DoD and inter-agency operational and tactical commanders. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, it was established on 20 July 2007, and is commanded by a Captain.

The DoG is the Coast Guard's element of specialized forces, but is not a part of SOCOM because the Coast Guard does not operate under the Department of Defense. DOG units' missions include high-risk, high-profile tasks such as counter-terrorism, diving operations, intelligence-cued boardings, shipboard take-downs and threat assessments involving nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.

The DoG manages Coast Guard personnel assigned to the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC). It was also involved in the selection of Coast Guard candidates to attend United States Naval Special Warfare training and serve with Navy SEAL Teams. While the program is currently suspended there are still several U.S. Coast Guard members serving on the SEAL Teams.
