The U. S. Coast Guard has had a continuous presence in the Far East since 1947.  We operated long-range aids navigation systems for the Department of Defense until 1993.  On 13 December 1994, the Fourteenth Coast Guard District established USCG Activities Far East/Marine Inspection Office Asia (FEACT) in Japan.   At that time, FEACT also assumed responsibility for Marine  Inspection Detachment Singapore.  Today, FEACT leverages Maritime Safety, Maritime Security, National Defense and International Engagement.
