The origins of the U.S. Coast Guard go as far back as 1790, when the "Revenue Cutter Service" was established as part of the Department of the Treasury. In 1915, this agency was merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service and renamed as the U.S. "Coast Guard". This maritime military service is now a part of the Department of Homeland Security but continues to bear proudly the same recognizable name.
