Miami is one of the most beautiful places in US, which attracts large number of tourists. It is a popular tourist attraction offering great weather and beautiful beach. Miami has no military base like other cities of Florida, but it has offices and headquarters. It has large beach area and there are many people on the beach.  The Coast Guard is very active with headquarter located in Miami named as District 7. It also operates in other parts of the country providing safety operations, these areas include Georgia and South Carolina. It also operates in Caribbean and Puerto Rico.

The coast guard is only allowed to operate in certain areas and has to take permission to enter other areas, which may belong to defense organizations. The Coast Guard is equipped with sophisticated electronics for both defense and safety. They also have jet planes and helicopters such a Dassault Falcon 20 that is a business jet but it is also used to do surveys and travel long distances. Coast Guard also has Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphin helicopter used in search and rescue operations around US, which also comes in other models and some of them are used by Coast Guard. They also use diesel powered air planes such as EADS Casa HC-144 Ocean Sentry that are also used in marine patrol operations; it is usually used to deliver cargo having capacity to lift 16,000-kg, transfer passengers and travel long distances.

Besides providing rescue assistance Coast Guard also focuses on providing security from illegal immigrants who tries to enter United States through sea routes. They also provide protection from drug trades by working along defense organizations. A good feature of Coast Guard District 7 headquarter is that they are located on Opa-locka Airport, which is a general purpose and civil-military joint operation airport. This gives Cost Guard the facility to response rapidly on command.  The airport was built during World War II as Naval Air Station Miami but today it operates as a general airport.
