The aerial asset is a four-ton-class twin engine helicopter able to perform critical missions, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, maritime security operations, and maritime law enforcement.
The first PCG's H145 light twin engine helicopter with tail number CGH-1452 was commissioned into Coast Guard service last June 18, 2020.
The said helicopter has been deployed in various maritime search and rescue and marine environmental protection initiatives in the past months.
According to Coast Guard, it is one of the most actively utilized PCG asset in transporting personal protective equipment sets and medical supplies to far-flung communities amid the coronavirus pandemic.
