Cutters over 180 feet are under which command?

Cutters over 180 feet are under which command?

• A. Area Commands
• B. Districts
• C. Sector Commands
• D. Commandant's Staff

Answer: (A)

In Coast Guard structure, assets are assigned to commands based on size and geographic reach. Cutters over 180 feet require area-wide coordination and resources, so they fall under Area Commands (the large-area commands like Atlantic Area and Pacific Area). Districts generally oversee smaller units and day-to-day operations within their geographic area, Sector Commands are unified commands for a specific area handling multiple mission types, and Commandant's Staff is the headquarters staff, not the field command for cutters. So, the big cutters operate under Area Commands.
