PORTLAND, Ore. - Two Air Force Reserve pararescuemen (Pjs) from the 304th Rescue Squardon, a geographically seperated unit from the 920th Rescue Wing, Cocoa Beach, Fla., map out an area to search for a missing hikier. The PJs were called in to help find a 57 year-old man reported missing after a three-day hike. The terrain, rugged and dense, required the special skills the PJs have to search the high-angle, rough area 10 miles South of Mt. Hood. The 920th RQW PJs are ready for any type of rescue in any terrain. In fact, they are among the most highly trained emergency trauma specialists in the U.S. military. They must maintain an emergency medical technician-paramedic qualification throughout their careers. With this medical and rescue expertise, along with their deployment capabilities, PJs are able to perform life-saving missions in the world?s most remote areas. (U.S. Air Force photo)
