Commander changes
U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Benjamin Berg, a native of Bainbridge Island, recently ended his position as commanding officer of the Patrol Forces Southwest in Manama, Bahrain, the largest such base outside of the country.
Berg led the command that provides support to maritime security operations in the north, central and south Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Under his leadership, PATFORSWA saw the homeporting of four new 154-foot Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutters and decommissioning of five 110-foot Island-class patrol cutters.
Berg said, “I’m certainly pleased with the operational accomplishments of our cutters, crews, and partner nation engagements, but I was more energized each day to observe the crews taking pride knowing their work was bringing stability to the region and enforcing the rule of law.”
Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, presided over the ceremony, commending Berg for his leadership and welcoming Capt. Eric A. Helgen as the new commander.
