Several units within the Swedish Coast Guard have taken part in the Swedish Armed Forces' exercise Aurora 26. The participation was part of the support that the Coast Guard can be expected to give the Swedish Armed Forces in a state of heightened alert or war.
In connection with the NATO summit in Helsingborg, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and several Swedish ministers visited the Swedish Coast Guard vessel KBV 003 Amfitrite.
The Coast Guard continues to be the government agency with the highest reputation among the public. In the analysis company Verian's annual survey of Swedes' views on government agencies, the Coast Guard tops the list for the sixth year in a row.
