Is the Coast Guard Academy located in Georgia?

I'm trying to figure out if the Coast Guard Academy has any major presence in Georgia or if they're primarily based elsewhere. Is there any specific academic or training feature related to Georgia?

The United States Coast Guard Academy is actually located in New London, Connecticut, not Georgia. It's the primary institution for officer training in the U.S. Coast Guard and where most Coast Guard officers receive their commission. There aren't any satellite campuses elsewhere, including Georgia. While cadets may end up stationed in Georgia or elsewhere for summer training or after graduation, the academic and training aspects primarily take place in Connecticut.

That said, if you're interested in the Coast Guard but want to stay closer to Georgia, you might look into the Coast Guard's Direct Commission Officer (DCO) program or enlistment opportunities that could eventually lead to Officer Candidate School. Various Coast Guard units and sectors are scattered throughout the country, including in Georgia, but these are typically operational or administrative centers rather than educational facilities. Always best to reach out to local recruiters or the academy itself to discuss your specific situation and interests.
