摘要

NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard is standing up a new disaster response command and is using lessons learned from 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina for guidance. Called the deployable operations group, or DOG, the new command will reorganize the Coast Guard's six special forces units and prepare them to quickly respond to natural catastrophes and terrorist attacks, said Rear Adm. Thomas Atkin, DOG commander.
