What benefits (if any) would come from consolidating the Coast Guard and Navy?

3.26K

Considering that the Coast Guard and the Navy are very similar and have many of the same duties and responsibilities, do you think that they should consolidate into a single Branch? I think it could save the government a lot of money, as would combining the Army and Marines. What are your thoughts?

Would it be a good idea to combine the Navy and the Coast Guard? Why or why not?

From a outsider's prospective, the navy and coast guard appear similar enough to consider combining the two. There isn't an agenda with this question. I was wondering what the pros and cons would be doing this. Admittedly, I don't significant enough knowledge of either organization to know. I'm curious what the people involved in these organizations think.
