The Coast Guard's <a href="/wiki/Shore_establishment" class="mw-redirect" title="Shore establishment">shore establishment</a> divides the continental United States and its territories into two area commands--<a href="/wiki/Coast_Guard_Atlantic_Area" title="Coast Guard Atlantic Area">Coast Guard Atlantic Area</a> and <a href="/wiki/Coast_Guard_Pacific_Area" title="Coast Guard Pacific Area">Coast Guard Pacific Area</a>—each commanded by a vice admiral.

Each district is further divided into <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Sector" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Coast Guard Sector">sectors</a>. Sectors are the primary organizational unit for many of the duties the public most closely identifies with the Coast Guard, such coordinating search and rescue missions and conducting law enforcement operations. </p><p>Individual operational units report at various levels within this three-tiered organizational structure. For example, <a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_Coast_Guard_stations" title="List of United States Coast Guard stations">small boat stations</a> report to Sector Commanders while <a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Air_Stations" title="United States Coast Guard Air Stations">air stations</a> report to District Commanders; both sectors and air stations are typically commanded by a captain. </p><p><a href="/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard_Cutter" title="United States Coast Guard Cutter">Cutters</a> are not organized into standing <a href="/wiki/Naval_fleet" title="Naval fleet">fleets</a> as in most naval forces.
