Book excerpt: This manual contains information for the safe and effective application of search and rescue (SAR) procedures, and the execution of SAR operations. However, it is not a substitute for sound judgment. A dynamic SAR environment may require on-scene deviations or modifications from the procedures prescribed herein to successfully accomplish a SAR mission. The existing risk of deviation must continually be weighed against the benefit of deviating from this manual. Some examples of areas in which deviations are most strongly advised against are as follows: The proper application and use of rescue equipment restraint straps, safety straps, and safety devices as mandated by this manual.CHAPTER 1 -- AVIATION MARITIME SEARCH AND RESCUE PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 2 -- SURFACE VESSEL SEARCH AND RESCUE PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 3 -- RESCUE SWIMMER PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 4 -- INLAND SEARCH AND RESCUE PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 5 -- SEARCH AND RESCUE EQUIPMENT * CHAPTER 6 -- SEARCH AND RESCUE COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 7 -- MEDICAL PROCEDURES * CHAPTER 8 -- AVIATION SURVIVAL EQUIPMENTCHAPTER 1 -- AVIATION MARITIME SEARCH AND RESCUE PROCEDURES * 1.1 MARITIME ENVIRONMENT * 1.2 SEARCH * 1.2.1 Search Planning * 1.2.2 SAR Organization * 1.2.3 Search Brief * 1.2.4 Search Execution * 1.2.5 Survivor Sighting * 1.2.6 Fixed-Wing Sighting * 1.3 RESCUE PROCEDURES * 1.3.1 Assessing the Rescue Situation * 1.3.2 Marking of the Survivor's Position * 1.3.3 Rescue Pattern * 1.3.4 Multiple Rescue Decision * 1.3.5 Rescue Hover Position * 1.3.6 Rescue Swimmer Deployment * 1.3.7 Rescue Swimmer Recovery Procedures * 1.3.8 Maritime Direct Deployment Procedures * 1.4 RESCUE EQUIPMENT RIGGING, DEPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES * 1.4.1 Rescue Hook * 1.4.2 Rescue Strop * 1.4.3 United States Coast Guard/Collapsible Rescue Basket * 1.4.4 Rescue Net * 1.4.5 Rescue Seat * 1.4.6 Rescue/Medical Evacuation Litter Procedures * 1.5 SURVIVOR FLOTATION IN THE HELICOPTER * 1.6 HELICOPTER LIFE RAFT DEPLOYMENT * 1.6.1 Uninflated Life Raft Deployment * 1.6.2 Inflated Life Raft Deployment * 1.7 HELICOPTER-TO-SHIP PERSONNEL TRANSFER * 1.7.1 Hoisting Vest * 1.7.2 Helicopter-To-Ship Trail-Line Hoisting Procedures * 1.8 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES * 1.8.1 Rescue Hoist Failure during a Rescue * 1.8.2 Jammed Rescue Hoist Procedures * 1.8.3 Severed Rescue Hoist Cable * 1.8.4 Rigging the Hoist Quick Splice Plate * 1.9 AVIATION SAR READINESS CONDITIONS * 1.9.1 SAR Condition I * 1.9.2 SAR Condition II * 1.9.3 SAR Condition III * 1.9.4 SAR Condition IV * CHAPTER 2 -- SURFACE VESSEL SEARCH AND RESCUE PROCEDURES * 2.1 BASIC FACTORS * 2.1.1 Means of Rescue * 2.1.2 Surface Ship SAR Responsibility * 2.1.3 Decision to Launch Rescue Boat or Conduct Shipboard Recovery * 2.2 SHIP'S ORGANIZATION * 2.2.1 Rescue Swimmer * 2.3 SHIPBOARD PREPARATIONS FOR SAR OPERATIONS * 2.3.1 Assessing the Rescue Situation * 2.3.2 Cold-Water Operations * 2.3.3 Plane Guard Assignment * 2.4 SEARCH * 2.4.1 Search Planning * 2.4.2 Lookouts * 2.4.3 Daylight Search * 2.4.4 Night Search * 2.5 MARKING OF THE SURVIVOR'S POSITION * 2.6 AIR/SURFACE COORDINATION * 2.6.1 Ship/Rescue Boat Standby Position * 2.6.2 Helicopter Turnover of the Rescue to the Ship or Rescue Boat * 2.7 RESCUE BOAT OPERATIONS * 2.7.1 Approaching Survivor * 2.7.2 Surface Rescue Swimmer Deployment From Rescue Boat (Day or Night) * 2.7.3 Rescue Boat Approach to Parachute * 2.7.4 Rescue Priority * 2.7.5 Rescue Boat Recovery Position * 2.7.6 First Aid * 2.7.7 Rescue/MEDEVAC Litter Procedures for Rescue Boat * 2.8 SHIPBOARD J-BAR DAVIT RECOVERY * 2.8.1 International Orange Latex Balls * 2.8.2 Rescue Swimmer Deployment From J-Bar Davit (Day or Night) * 2.8.3 J-Bar Davit Recovery Procedures * 2.9 SALVAGE OPERATIONS * 2.10 SURFACE VESSEL MEDICAL EVACUATION PROCEDURES * 2.10.1 Preparing for Transfer Operations * 2.10.2 Rescue Equipment Donning Procedures * 2.10.3 Plumb Hover * 2.10.4 Trail-Line Hoisting Procedures * 2.11 OVERWATER HELICOPTER HOISTING FROM A RESCUE BOAT
