The United States Coast Guard, with the assistance of the United States Navy, has been engaged in interdicting drugs in the maritime environment since Richard Nixon declared the War on Drugs thirty-seven years ago. Despite significant progress in interdiction efforts, producers and distributors have not been deterred from using the maritime environment to ship cocaine to the United States. This paper was written to analyze the operational factors of time, space and force in order to determine the most effective way to utilize the limited resources available for maritime drug interdiction. From the analysis, the paper draws conclusions concerning current drug interdictions efforts. Finally, the paper gives recommendations to assign more resources and improve current drug interdiction efforts.
