PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - Rescue Airmen, from the 920th Rescue Wing here, launched an HH-60G-Pave-Hawk duo responsible for clearing approximately 1,000 square feet of Atlantic Ocean - the area which extends out from the launch pad in the anticipated direction of flight. Securing the area, along with contacting mariners who didn't get the launch-hazard advisory, to stay clear, 920th Airmen divided the air space and put their rescue expertise into action. In a worst-case scenario the rocket would incinerate causing a debris shower, or veer off course, so the Reservists scan the vast blue waters for boats and ships to advise them of the hazard and just in case, will employ their search and rescue skills.
