context_page_description: In addition to the usual tasks of a green water navy, the Colombian Navy also performs Coast Guard duties, has shared responsibility for patrolling the extensive Colombian network of rivers, and includes the Marine Infantry. Furthermore, its littoral/riverine component is relatively large when compared with the more traditional navies of other countries.
  Due to this aggregation of duties, some vessels perform routinely and indistinctly as coast guard/combat patrol, particularly those mid-size, lightly armed vessels, and can occasionally be found classified as either Surface combat or Coast Guard or even Logistics/General transport across different sources, even in official documents from the ARC itself. Also, many of the lighter patrol/harbor patrol boats may be assigned or reassigned duties across the different branches with little or no notice depending on service needs.
  As the ARC has embarked in a program of modernization since 2000, a better separation and categorization of the different vessels has ensued, with many vessels being re-numbered or reclassified, which makes for occasionally conflicting references.
