Bold Alligator 2014 PSU 307 Participates in Multi-national Exercise Bold Alligator 2014 is a multi-national full scale exercise designed to exercise the Marine Corps amphibious capabilities and their interaction with naval expeditionary forces, close to the coast. Coast Guard Port Security Unit (PSU) 307, under the command of Cmdr. Eric Bernstein, was tasked with supporting Naval Coastal Riverine Squadron 4. Squadron4 and PSU 307 have very similar roles: that of protecting high value assets in an expeditionary environment. Part of the Coast Guard's Deployable Special Forces PSU 307 is a 150 person unit trained and equipped to provide port security and anti-terrorism force protection of high value assets around the world. For Bold Alligator 2014 PSU 307 provided boat force elements, land-side security, communication, logistics support and equipment to supplement the mission. Utilizing its annual two week Active Duty Training the unit exercised a complete load out of all equipment while providing critical training in a mock real world environment. The exercise also enabled the Coast Guard to build on existing relationships with the Navy, Marine Corps, Coalition Partners and other stakeholders within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. All in all Bold Alligator 2014 exercise was a great success, providing an invaluable training opportunity and environment, to keep PSU 307 semper paratus.
