(OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and as far inland
as the landlocked country of Afghanistan, where they have
been maintaining a redeployment assistance and inspection
detachment (RAID) since 2003.
During OIF, members of Coast Guard port security units-
made up predominantly of Reservists-assumed missions from
the Marine Corps. These Coast Guardsmen had responsibility
for watching over enemy prisoners of war on two Iraqi oil platforms. The Coast Guard also played a vital role in patrolling
the northern Arabian Gulf, keeping Iranians and Iraqis away
from oil platforms.
It was here in 2004 that the first Coast Guardsman was
killed in action since the Vietnam War. Petty Officer Nathan
Bruckenthal and two Navy sailors lost their lives when they
intercepted and inspected a boat packed with explosives and
manned by suicide bombers off the coast of Iraq.
During OEF, members of the Coast Guard patrolled perimeter roads at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. While on patrol,
Coast Guardsmen drove casualty evacuation vehicles, standing
at the ready to respond quickly in the event of an attack.
RAID members were instrumental in inspecting shipping
containers throughout all of Afghanistan. The incredible volume of logistics movements within the country, and globally to
and from Afghanistan, presented a critical need for intermodal
transportation and security experts. RAID members increased
container security inspections and performed container repairs,
reducing the cost of logistics and improving overall process
flow-often in high-risk and combat conditions.
RAID personnel were carefully selected for this demanding
work. A nod to the strength and quality of the Coast Guard
Reserve is that RAID members were drawn from the ranks of
Coast Guard Reservists because of their unique combination
of Coast Guard and civilian experience and expertise in law
enforcement or emergency response.
From catching drug runners and protecting vessels in the
uncharted and constantly changing polar region to conducting RAID operations in a landlocked South Asian warzone,
America's Coast Guard has transformed itself. It is building
and demonstrating its capability to perform the complex and
demanding transportation security missions presented by today's
threatening realities.
Capt. Brett Korade is the Naval services director for the Reserve
Officers Association. Megan Myers served as ROA's legislative
intern in summer 2016; she is a senior at the University of
California, Berkeley, majoring in society and environment with

Welcome, Captain Korade
Retired naval aviator joins ROA as Naval
services director
The Reserve Officers Association
welcomes Capt. Brett Korade, who
recently retired from the Navy and
joined ROA as the Naval services
director. In this role, he serves as
liaison between the Department
of Defense and the Navy, Marine
and Coast Guard Reserve, as well
as congressional members and
committees and other agencies of national security on matters
pertaining to the assigned service section. Korade's duties
include establishing and maintaining liaison with high-ranking
government civilian and military officials within the legislative
and executive branches, maintaining contact with the professional and personal staff of congressional defense committees
and other offices, and preparing and/or assisting with ROA
testimony and statements to Congress.
Korade earned his undergraduate degree in engineering
from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1991. A year later,
he earned a Master of Arts degree in management while
progressing through flight school. He was designated a naval
aviator in 1994.
Korade was among the first called to the front lines for
Operation Noble Eagle after 9/11, being sent to the USS
George Washington to conduct patrols over New York City.
In 2008, Korade reported to Navy Operation Support Center
Orlando as the commanding officer. He was responsible for
20 units, consisting of more than 700 sailors operating across
every Navy enterprise.
He sourced support to the Haiti earthquake, operations in
Libya and humanitarian response to the Japan tsunami. After
earning a second master's degree in national security and
strategic studies at the Naval War College, Korade reported to
the chief of Navy Reserve staff in July 2013, where he served
as the legislative division director.
Korade's military decorations include the Meritorious
Service Medal (three awards), Strike Flight Air Medal, the Navy
and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (four awards) and the
Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (six awards).
