Deployment to Greenland 2020
This year the USCGC Campbell’s Arctic deployment was one for the USCG history books as the crew navigated through waters unknown to the modern-day Coast Guard. The ship and its crew assisted in crucial scientific research efforts deploying numerous International Ice Patrol and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration buoys into regions that have never been sampled before. Additionally, the crew assisted in critical ice state and sea state research throughout their deployment. The Campbell will be awarded the Artic Service Medal in honor of their service period of 21 days north of the Arctic Circle.
