The Air Force view of Personnel Recovery (PR) has historically focused almost exclusively on Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) of downed aircrews. Recent operations have seen a marked decrease in aircraft shootdowns, and have correspondingly tasked USAF Combat Rescue forces with non-CSAR missions in support of a variety of customers. This thesis examines the changing environment in which Combat Rescue forces are employed, evaluates the ability of these forces to perform PR tasks within an Irregular Warfare campaign, and makes recommendations regarding where and under whose control rescue assets should be employed.
