Combat Search and Rescue Air Force Doctrine Document 2-1.6.
Abstract
Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) 2-1.6 provides Air Force doctrine for combat search and rescue (CSAR) operations and supports basic aerospace power doctrine. It replaces AFDD 34 dated 30 December 1994. This AFDD applies to all active duty, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and civilian Air Force personnel. This doctrine is authoritative but not directive. Commanders are encouraged to exercise judgment in applying this doctrine to accomplish their missions. This document establishes the roles and responsibilities of Air Force personnel supporting CSAR operations and outlines the principles for planning and executing CSAR operations supporting theater campaign objectives. It describes the mission, command relationships, force composition, and planning considerations necessary to conduct operations. It also discusses the relationship between the Air Force component and joint combat search and rescue organizations and discusses the role of the Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR), as well as CSAR organization, responsibilities, capabilities, and procedures.
