About    

Sector Delaware Bay was established in 2005 through the merging of Group Philadelphia and MSO Philadelphia. Sector Delaware Bay operates as an Integrated Operations Command, responsible for almost 570 active duty personnel and 195 reservists, in that all our operational missions are combined under one command.  This command structure allows for great flexibility and responsiveness in conducting our daily operations and provides "one stop shopping" to our local customers for all Coast Guard missions.  In keeping with the "Team Coast Guard" concept of operations, Sector Delaware Bay has thoroughly integrated the Active Duty, Reserve and Auxiliary components of Team Coast Guard into one cohesive operations team.
