The MSRT includes snipers, dog handlers and explosive ordnance disposal technicians who are so highly trained they can detect and dispose of a chemical, biological or radiological weapon.

MSRT Coast Guardsmen are the counter-terrorism force within the service (as opposed to an "anti-terrorism" which is primarily defensive in nature), with missions to take down terrorist-infested ships, hit bad guys from helicopters and assault objectives like Rangers or SEALs. The force is also trained to recover high-value terrorists or free captured innocents.
By the latter era in my questions, he likely will.

However, how old is MSRT?

Assuming such training existed, was it socially acceptable to accept a job with a foreign firm, as a euphemistic term for 'mercenary', working for the highest bidder?

For the new recruits in the 2010s, I'd want to have a few Navy SEALs, one or two Special Forces operators (ideally intelligence or medics in terms of specializations) with cultural expertise in the Caribbean and then get the rest of the deck crew and security personnel from the Coast Guard.

But a lot of people will have to be hired much earlier than that and, in any event, the contacts of the existing hires will guide where they can obtain trustworthy recruits from in the next hiring attempt.
