Unified Port Operation Doubles as Training Ground

The Mariana Area Subcommittee for Forces of Order (MASFO) conducted a port operation in Guam to strengthen coordination among law enforcement and emergency response agencies. Held at the Port Authority of Guam, the operation involved personnel from Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency, Guam Police Department, and Guam Fire Department.

The joint operation was designed to target criminal activity and enforce port security regulations. It also served as an opportunity for hands-on interagency training, allowing participants to refine inspection and response procedures in a real-world environment.

The collaboration demonstrates the group’s commitment to safeguarding the region through unified action and continued training. MASFO, which includes federal, local, and military representatives, regularly coordinates efforts to prevent illicit activities at ports of entry.
