What does the US Coast Guard do that the Navy and the Marines can’t do?

Question

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?

Answer 1

The coast guard is the police and the navy is the army. You wouldn’t see a soldier stopping cars in traffic
