Aviation Special Missions
The Aviation Special Missions (ASM) Program coordinates allocation and policy for special aviation capabilities required to fulfill mission requirements for Coast Guard operations. These capabilities (current or envisioned) include Airborne Use of Force (AUF), Rotary Wing Air Intercept (RWAI), Vertical Insertion (VI), and tools to counter Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive Environments (CBRNE).
Aviation Special Mission capabilities are distributed throughout a variety of Coast Guard Aviation platforms and units.
