What is the CG's Strategy for Combating Maritime Terrorism (CMT) called?

• A. Maritime Sentinel
• B. National SAR Plan
• C. Fast Action Reference Manual
• D. Allied Communications Publication

Answer: (A)

Recognizing the official name of the Coast Guard’s approach to countering maritime terrorism. The strategy is called Maritime Sentinel. The term conveys vigilance and a sustained posture at sea, which fits how the Coast Guard organizes prevention, detection, response, and interagency coordination to deter and disrupt terrorist activity on the water. This name stands apart from other terms: a National SAR Plan focuses on search-and-rescue operations, not counterterrorism strategy; a Fast Action Reference Manual is a quick-reference guide for rapid actions, not a strategic doctrine; an Allied Communications Publication is a NATO document about communications standards, not the Coast Guard’s strategy. So Maritime Sentinel is the best answer because it is the official designation for the CG’s strategy to combat maritime terrorism.
