United States and Korea Coast Guardsmen came together to play jokgu to build stronger relationship and cooperation between the servicemembers of each nation. Waesche is the second U.S. Coast Guard National Security Cutter deployed to the Indo-Pacific in 2024. Coast Guard cutters routinely deploy to the region to engage with partner nations to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Elijah Murphy)
