Pararescue

Each branch of the Military has its special brand of bad assess.  The Air Force is no different we have the most elite of elite in combat search and rescue, Pararescue, the pinnacle of Air Force battlefield medicine and personnel recovery Units, whose sole purpose in life is combat search and rescue, and their motto pays true homage to their life and their life choices, and really explains them to the core "These things we do so that other's can live." really explains them to the core.

It is not an easy task to become a rescueman, many have tried, but only the best of the best make it through their qualifying courses, and that is before they get into the medical portion of their school. 

Once fully graduated from the program, they willingly take on the position as battle field doctor, although they do not have a Doctorial in Medicine degree, even the on ground physician yields to their knowledge and instructions.   

When they perform a task, whether it is for personnel recovery, combat rescue of hostage rescue,  rest assured they have practiced it for months before the mission and they are always ready.    To the Men and Women of Luke Air Force Base Pararescue Squadron, I salute you.

This is a simulated patient care exercise, no actual patients were used for this training mission.  The military member playing the part of the patient was not actually injured.
