Inshore Boat Unit’s

Mission

- IBU program is integral to U.S. harbor defense missions providing small-craft security force units capable of protecting U.S. interests

- Designed as an armed, rapidly deployable platform with the ability to provide various levels of force protection on short notice world-wide

IBUs typically deploy and operate with two other units. The craft is controlled by Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit (MIUW), which provides surface and subsurface surveillance around harbor and coastal regions and has TACON of IBU patrol craft. Naval Coastal Warfare Squadron (NCWRON) is the controlling authority that overseas the operations of various harbor units including MIUW and IBU. The Squadron takes the information that MIUW processes and forwards it to higher command. With the three units combined, U.S. interests world-wide near harbor areas and coastal regions are better supported and protected under this Naval Coastal Warfare umbrella.
