New Super Joint CSAR unit - USAF/Army equipped with Foxtrots
The US Is Crafting a Joint Air Force-Army Search and Rescue Super Team in Afghanistan. The new unit will have Air Force PJs together with Army CH-47 Chinooks and might be a model for future operations.
Back in Helitech 2001 when it was held at everyone’s favourite location in my neck of the woods , I encountered an exchange army captain from Mother Rucker whose background was a Delta driver. He had a JPR / CSAR patch on his flight suit.
Cheers

Very strong presentation by amazing doctor telling of her teams experiences, if you have a quesy stomach be warned if you watch it.
Food for thought.....the US Army is a large bureaucracy with some very hard headed leadership in some positions. The difference between the USAF and US Army when it comes to Combat Medical Evacuation helicopter operations is a notable example.
The Air Force sent two Armed Blackhawks per mission....where the Army sent one unarmed Blackhawk escorted by AH-64's. Response times were an issue for the Army as a result.
The article raises other issues.

Helicopter evecuation is but the start of the chain you need the rest in place as well.

Is it not the case that the US Army Black Hawks have the Red Cross painted on them and so are not allowed to be armed under the Geneva Convention?
Certainly the case that the USAF and RAF platforms aren't marked up in such a way.

Amazed the UK lack this capability
Forgetting Afghan for a moment we lack a specialised unit to do this role in the UK. Why is that?
What we managed in Afghanistan i doubt we’ll ever achieve in full tempo warfighting.

Indeed US Army Dustoff's helicopters carry the Red Cross and follow the Geneva Convention and are in effect unarmed unlike the USAF Pedro's.

It is why the Jet Provost, remember them, had the first aid kit markings on the side changed from red to green so as to be abiding by the terms of the Geneva convention.
