Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Southeast Asia, analysts and force planners came to the realization that there was a fundamental difference between search and rescue (SAR) in a permissive area and in an area that was not permissive (i.e., under enemy control). This second condition is now called combat search and rescue or CSAR. At the time of Desert Storm, the two forms of rescue were defined thusly: Search and Rescue (SAR): Use of aircraft, surface craft, submarines, personnel, and equipment to locate and recover personnel in distress on land or at sea. Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR): A specialized SAR task performed by rescue-capable forces to effect recovery of distressed personnel from hostile territory during contingency operations or wartime.2 The development of this rescue capability has been well established. Dr. Robert Futrell documented our efforts in Korea in The United States Air Force in Korea, 1950-1953. His work was followed by Dr. Earl Tilford's Search and Rescue in South east Asia, which eloquently chronicled the heroic efforts of the rescue crews in that conflict who brought back literally thousands of airmen. It extensively documented what is now considered the "golden age" of rescue. This work is meant to follow in those traditions and will focus on our CSAR efforts in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, or more specifically, the period of Operation Desert Storm, 17 January to 28 February 1991. Overall, CSAR in Desert Storm appears to have been a mixed bag. Because of advances in precision weaponry, Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, countermeasures, and training, relatively few coalition aircraft were shot down. Forty-three coalition aircraft were lost in combat, most over high-threat areas. Eighty-seven coalition airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines were isolated in enemy or neutral territory. Of that total, 48 were killed, one is still listed as missing, 24 were immediately captured, and 14 were exposed in enemy territory. Of those who survived, most landed in areas controlled by enemy troops. Of the few actually rescueable, six were not rescued for a variety of reasons, but primarily because of limitations in CENTAF's ability to locate them accurately and in a timely manner.

Download or read book Leave No Man Behind written by George Galdorisi and published by Zenith Press. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the birth of combat aircraft in World War I and the early attempts to rescue warriors trapped behind enemy lines, Leave No Man Behind chronicles in depth nearly one hundred years of combat search and rescue (CSAR). All major U.S. combat operations from World War II to the early years of the Iraq War are covered, including previously classified missions and several Medal-of-Honor-winning operations. Authors George Galdorisi and Tom Phillips (both veteran U.S. Navy helicopter pilots) highlight individual acts of heroism while telling the big-picture story of the creation and development of modern CSAR. Although individual missions have their successes and failures, CSAR, as an institution, would seem beyond reproach, an obvious necessity. The organizational history of CSAR, however, is not entirely positive. The armed services, particularly the U.S. Air Force and Navy, have a tendency to cut CSAR at the end of a conflict, leaving no infrastructure prepared for the next time that the brave men and women of our armed forces find themselves behind enemy lines. The final chapter has not yet been written for U.S. combat search and rescue, but in view of the life-saving potential of these forces, an open and forthright review of U.S. military CSAR plans and policies is long overdue. Beyond the exciting stories of heroic victories and heartrending defeats, Leave No Man Behind stimulates debate on this important subject.
Book Synopsis USAF Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) by : U. S. Military
Download or read book USAF Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This military report discusses using CSAR forces in new ways for the war on terrorism. Expending every effort to recover distressed personnel from harm's way is an American tradition and one of the nation's highest priorities during conflict. The Air Force maintains a fleet of HH-60G helicopters and HC-130P aircraft along with a contingent of pararescue specialists dedicated to the recovery of personnel isolated on the battlefield. The traditional training, organizing, and equipping focus of this force is the recovery of downed aircrews. This focus stems from doctrine that draws from lessons learned in past contingencies, particularly the Vietnam War, where the Air Force experienced a large number of downed aircrew incidents. A robust capability dedicated exclusively to the combat search and rescue mission area was essential to ensure every effort was made to safely recover and return our aircrews to fight again. While maintaining the capability to recover our aircrews remains sacrosanct for the Air Force, Colonel dePalo argues in this study that the capability exists to go beyond dedicating these forces exclusively to the combat search and rescue mission. The United States' ability to quickly and decisively win a major combat operation creates a situation where we can expect to operate more often in diverse and complex nonlinear battlespace, particularly in the long-term global war on terrorism (GWOT). The changing nature of the battlespace creates an environment much different from traditional combat operations where the Air Force's at-risk population primarily consisted of combat aircrews. The study draws from Colonel dePalo's extensive experience supporting combat rescue operations in the GWOT to demonstrate that the missions flown by USAF combat rescue crews in the GWOT are far different from the traditional rescue of aircrews behind enemy lines seen in more conventional conflicts. In fact, he points out that the Air Force assets have flown missions almost exclusively in support of other components' requirements since air component downed aircrew incidents are virtually nonexistent. Colonel dePalo challenges theater planners to reevaluate the effectiveness of keeping a capable force tied exclusively to a rarely executed mission when their combat power could be used to support other joint force commander objectives in addition to providing combat rescue support. Colonel dePalo believes that better application of the doctrinal tenets of airpower is needed for more effective and efficient utilization of USAF combat rescue forces. He uses the tenets of flexibility, concentration, and persistence to demonstrate that the current force can transform to more effectively support the global war on terrorism and adapt to new roles and missions leading to a more agile, multifaceted personnel-recovery capability worldwide. This force can ably support USAF combat search and rescue requirements while also supporting broader personnel-recovery requirements for both the military and civilians. The potential exists to expand even beyond personnel recovery to support other missions such as the infiltration and exfiltration of battlefield Airmen. He argues that it is important to define the force as a war-fighting capability instead of as an executable function. Better integration of the force into strategic planning will facilitate matching this capability to desired effects, leading to a force able to execute a broad range of missions in varying environments.

Download or read book Joint Combat Search and Rescue - Operational Necessity Or Afterthought written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military and civilian leaders recognize the need to assign a greater priority to combat search and rescue (CSAR). Today a combat rescue has political and military implications that range from the tactical to strategic level. Public concern over casualties can intensify a situation that involves even one American life into a major crisis. Current joint doctrine stresses individual service CSAR that allows a joint effort when service capabilities are exceeded. Although service capabilities are being maintained, the Armed Forces emphasize joint planning, coordination, and execution of such missions as the norm, not the exception. Current doctrine should be revised to furnish reliable and flexible joint CSAR support to both CINCs and other joint force commanders (JFCs). The military has conducted a range of operations-occasionally combat-in recent decades. Public support for committing forces has been difficult to achieve and maintain. Airpower is often perceived as a low cost way of demonstrating national will with lower risk than deploying forces on the ground. While the real danger to airmen-who most commonly precipitate CSAR-may appear low, manportable and larger surface-to-air missiles have proliferated.

Book Synopsis U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command Takes Control of Rescue Forces by :
Download or read book U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command Takes Control of Rescue Forces written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAF moving of the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission from Air Combat Command (ACC) to Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) in 2003 left out many of the key players involved in a traditional CSAR task force (CSARTF), specifically the On Scene Commander (OSC), Rescue Mission Commander (RMC), Rescue Escort (RESCORT), and the Airborne Mission Coordinator (AMC). Moving helicopters and support aircraft under the guise of moving the CSAR mission to AFSOC, without considering the other key players of CSAR, placed an overemphasis on the helicopter as the key element of CSAR. This organizational focus on the helicopter as CSAR has led to a lack of unity of effort. This has had negative implications in the organizing, training, and equipping of CSAR forces. While the capability of the USAF to conduct CSAR has not degraded to the same level as pre-Desert Storm, it is critical that it not regress further due to a continual disassociation of the AMC, OSC, RMC, and RESCORT roles from the CSAR mission. In April 2006, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force moved the CSAR mission back to ACC. This move offers the USAF a unique opportunity to align its Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures with Air Force and Joint Doctrine. Additionally, the move allows the USAF to reemphasize its role in organizing, training, and equipping CSAR forces to bring unity of effort to this critical mission. ACC should consider assigning a single person to act as both the Point of Contact (POC) and the Program Element Monitor (PEM) for all CSAR matters. The CSAR POC/PEM could act as team leader for a CSAR working-group that should include experts in the following roles: Joint Personnel Recovery Center, AMC, OSC, RMC, RESCORT, Recovery Vehicle (RV)-helicopters, RV support, Pararescue Jumpers, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape.
Book Synopsis Combat Search and Rescue Policy for the United States Navy by : Bryan P. Murphy
Download or read book Combat Search and Rescue Policy for the United States Navy written by Bryan P. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Navy does not possess dedicated active duty combat search and rescue (CSAR) capability. Currently, the Navy draws CSAR support for planned peacetime contingencies from various sources, but during a crisis or in the early stages of a war, it may have no alternative but Navy helicopters organic to the carrier battle group (CVBG). These airframes and their pilots are ill-equipped to fly the overland CSAR mission. The Navy hopes to correct this situation by improving training and developing CSAR kits with which to retrofit carrier helicopters if necessary. However, history has shown that the Navy's reliance on the CVBG's helicopters to fly CSAR has not worked. The author recommends that the Navy develop an active duty CSAR capability by either (1) making HCS-4 and HCS-5 dual active duty/reserve squadrons (2) assign responsibility to HC-16 (3) attach an active component to the Naval reserve CSAR squadron who will deploy with the CVBG.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research was conducted to examine the validity of the employment of U.S. Navy helicopters for the combat search and rescue (CSAR) mission. It is proposed that the Navy does not currently have the capability to conduct CSAR operations in an opposed environment with an acceptable loss rate. A mission description is offered including mission essentials, phases and profile. Current Battle Group helicopter assets are presented. Training and equipment shortfalls are noted. A discussion of resource management includes dollar, political and psychological costs. A proposal is offered to initiate a viable CSAR capability that recognizes the need for CSAR and makes its tactical development a matter of CNO policy, develops an appreciation for the fact that this is a TACAIR problem, and suggests a measured approach to solving the problem. Finally, a decision matrix is presented to assist the Battle Group Commander in the employment of his helicopter assets in the pursuit of a CSAR mission. (Author).
