Construction of Arctic Security Cutters
The President issued a memorandum directing the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to address the growing national security threat in the Arctic, caused by foreign adversaries, by allowing the construction of up to four Arctic Security Cutters (ASCs) in foreign shipyards.
This action is justified by the current inadequacy of the U.S. Coast Guard's icebreaker fleet, but it mandates a plan within 60 days to transition subsequent construction back to domestic facilities to onshore necessary expertise, establishing this foreign construction as a time-limited measure to bridge the immediate capability gap.
