I’m not from the US and have no military experience either. So the US has apparently 3 maritime branches in the uniformed services and the Coast Guard is, well guarding the coasts of the US. And the other branches can’t do that?

The biggest difference is the Coast Guard can enforce US laws on any US vessel and US citizen. The DOD (Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines) cannot.
These laws range from Criminal to safety.
