CORE Pacific Act

The CORE Pacific Act directs the Secretary of State to submit a report within 120 days analyzing the feasibility of assigning consular officers to Coast Guard and Navy missions in Pacific Island countries. This report will assess the current demand for consular services, potential cost savings, and logistical challenges such as space, security, and technology needed to provide these services aboard military vessels. The analysis will also evaluate how often these missions occur and the impact on existing naval operations to determine if this approach can better serve citizens of nations that do not host U.S. embassies.
