Vessels transiting in and around the port rely on Coastal Riverine Squadron 8 to protect their passage. CRS8, comprised of a diverse team of U.S. Navy Reserve sailors deployed to Djibouti in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, conducts the maritime security operations, day and night, to make sure these vessels stay safe.
