SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The U.S. Coast Guard has scheduled law enforcement training in the southern end of San Diego Bay Saturday evening, according to Coast Guard officials.

The training involves one or more transferring personnel from the aircraft to Coast Guard vessels.

The training is a fairly routine operation and has already been held in the area several times this week, according to officials. It involves members of the Coast Guard's Maritime Safety and Security Team.

These teams provide anti-terrorism force protection for strategic shipping, high interest vessels and critical infrastructure. These units are a quick-response force capable of rapid, nationwide deployment via air, ground or sea transportation in response to Maritime Homeland Security mission requirements.
