Abstract

Since the last CHECO study, "USAF Search and Rescue in SEA" (1961 to June 1966), was distributed, significant changes have contributed to an increase in pilot rescue and recoveries. These techniques and equipment improvements are-discussed in "Search and Rescue" for the period July 1966 to November 1967. Special emphasis is placed on the urgent need for accelerated development of an aircraft which will satisfy the distinct combat aircrew recovery mission of the U.S. Air Force. Responsibility for supporting and maintaining operational control of the Search and Rescue organization rests with-Headquarters, 3d Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Group located at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Republic of Vietnam. It provides coordination vital to the successful accomplishment of the Rescue mission, "That Others May Live."
