For a recreational boat fire on a lake within a Sector boundary, who is the responsible SAR Mission Coordinator?

• A. USCG Sector
• B. USCG Sector Guam
• C. USCG District Seven
• D. USCG Sector San Francisco

Answer: (A)

In USCG SAR, the Sector is the primary command that coordinates responses within its geographic area, including inland waters like lakes. The SAR Mission Coordinator for an incident on a lake inside a Sector boundary is the Sector’s designated SAR MR (the Sector Commander’s team). Districts or other named Sectors only step in for larger, cross‑sector operations, not for a localized incident like this. So the responsible SAR Mission Coordinator is the USCG Sector that covers that area.
