A Coast Guard Cutter Thetis small boat crew conducts personnel and contraband transfers with the Coast Guard Cutter Vigorous during a 68-day Eastern Pacific counter drug patrol in 2017. The cutter Thetis crew worked alongside the Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team, an aviation detachment from the Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron and a Royal Canadian Navy maritime coastal defense vessel in support of Operation Martillo seizing 6,755 kilograms of cocaine and 14 pounds of marijuana during eight separate interdictions that resulted in the apprehension of 24 suspected smugglers.
