HITRON: 1,000 and Beyond

From the skies above the open ocean to the decks of Coast Guard cutters, the Coast Guard Helicopter Interdiction Squadron (HITRON) brings speed, precision and decisive force to the counter-drug fight. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, HITRON aircrews train relentlessly for homeland security and counter-narcotics operations — recently surpassing their 1,000th interdiction, a powerful milestone that highlights their critical role in protecting America’s maritime borders.

Thanks for watching!
