The United States Coast Guard Bahamas/U.S Embassy office has
engaged Advanced Web Site Publishing (AWSP) to help them visually depict the
amount and types of cases they have worked on in their region during the course of one
year.
Commander Billburg of the U.S. Coast Guard states “The SAR
and AMIO picture is essential to understanding our multi-mission response ops
and what really goes on around in the Bahamas.”
The Flash movie format will illustrate all Search and
Rescues (SAR’s), Alien Migrant Interdiction Operations (AMIO) and Maritime Drug
Interdictions in cooperation with OPBAT.
OPBAT is a combined Coast Guard, U.S. Army, U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Bahamian operation. The operation incorporates
assets and personnel from each entity to combat drug smuggling to and from The
Bahamas. OPBAT is a helicopter oriented effort that uses Coast Guard and Army
HH60 aircraft, manned with DEA and Bahamian law enforcement agents, to
interdict drug smugglers using the Bahamas as a transit zone. OPBAT forces are
commonly used against drug air drops (or mothership hand offs) to waiting
go-fast style boats. Aircraft and crews are stationed at locations throughout
the Bahamas and are tasked by a central OPBAT command center in Nassau.
The Flash based movie will calculate a running tally of the
lives saved and assisted plus it will give totals of:
- The
amount of drugs seized
- The
types of drugs seized
- Arrests

Keith Hickman, President of Advanced Web Site Publishing
stated, “We are very proud to be of assistance to the men and women who risk
their lives to guard our countries borders.
We will continue to work with the USCG and other government agencies
that can use our expertise.”
The Flash Movie is scheduled to be published sometime in Jan 08.
