The quality of the rescue effort is directly proportional to the resources allocated. All the Mil Tech in the world won't help if the appropriate resources are not rallied in a coordinated effort. In the majority of cases civil SAR agencies are designated operational control and we the Mil only get activated at the 11th hour when all other efforts are either exhausted or deemed unsuccessful.
Fairly challenging country that the helo went down in. Not sure if an ELT was on board or a CPI, however this would have been a place to start.
Thoughts go out to the families and friends involved.
