PATFORSWA works with Naval Forces Central Command to conduct maritime operations forwarding U.S. interests. These efforts are to deter and counter disruptive countries, defeat violent extremism, and strengthen partner nations’ maritime capabilities to secure the maritime environment in the Central Command area of responsibility.
Each FRC bears the name of an enlisted USCG hero who distinguished himself or herself in the line of duty. Robert Goldman enlisted in the USCG in October 1942 as a pharmacist’s mate. In 1944 he reported for duty aboard the coast guard-manned, 328-foot landing ship, Tank-66, taking part in a campaign to retake the Philippines from the Japanese.
