The study explores the authorities exercised in the U.S. port security program, particularly as they relate to wars, national emergencies, and the transfer of the Coast Guard to the Navy under such circumstances. The Coast Guard has been responsible for the port security of the United States since the program came into being in 1917. It performed those duties during both World War I and World War II, when it was operating as a service in the Navy. In 1950, port security was made a permanent program, and the duties were assigned to the Coast Guard. Current statutes now insure that port security functions and powers shift from the Department of Transportation to the Department of the Navy simultaneously with the transfer of the Coast Guard.
