Vertical A very big well done to your Squadron
.
However, I have never been a fan of SAR units using "lives saved" as a measure of success. Any SAR crew will tell you that of all the persons that they have assisted, only a very small percentage will genuinely owe their life to this assistance alone. Also a SAR crew that completes a search and determines that their casualty is not in the search area has successfuly completed their SAR task.
IMO, Missions flown, aircraft and crew availability or even skill levels achieved are all much better measures of success in SAR.
