RESCUE

The primary mission of a Rescue unit is personnel recovery with emergency medical capabilities in humanitarian and combat environments. They deploy in any available manner, to include air-land-sea tactics, into restricted environments to authenticate, extract, treat, stabilize and evacuate injured personnel, while acting in an enemy-evading, recovery role. Rescue units perform search and rescue, combat search and rescue, recovery support for NASA and conduct other operations as appropriate.
