  • A 41st Rescue Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter ‘hard crew’ poses for a photo, Jan. 11, 2019, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. To optimally perform their Combat Search and Rescue mission downrange, the 347th Rescue Group implemented the advanced training ‘hard crew’ system, which unifies the 38th and 41st RQS’s into separate rescue operator teams that’ll fly every mission together for their upcoming deployment. This concept establishes continuity and chemistry which will help maximize the 38th and 41st RQS’s mission readiness by simultaneously working together to build relationships and understand each other’s idiosyncrasies, strengths, and weaknesses to ultimately improve the team’s performance in mission execution.

    AF helicopter ‘hard crew’ formula improves cohesion, mission

    In the realm of team sports where expectations and the stakes to win are high, teams rely on continuity and chemistry to maximize their effectiveness and propel them to the top. Utilizing a similar game plan, operating as a ‘hard crew’, a team of Moody’s HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter aircrew recently unified and flew every mission together at Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla., to enhance their Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) capabilities so they will perform at their peak when it matters the most— when lives are on the line.
  • HH-60G Pave Hawks from the 41st Rescue Squadron (RQS) execute tactical maneuvers during a pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ exercise, Dec. 12, 2018, at Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla. During this pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ training, Moody’s 347th Rescue Group tested and maximized their combat search and rescue (CSAR) and personnel recovery capabilities. Under normal circumstances, the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews and maintainers deploy from Moody and integrate with Guardian Angel teams from different bases. This time, Moody’s 38th RQS and 41st RQS’s will deploy together and utilized this exercise to improve their mission readiness and cohesion before their departure.

    Joint 'spin-up' for the joint fight

    When lives are on the line, there is no margin for error – and for a group of Air Force Combat Search and Rescue personnel, their razor thin life-saving operations were recently put to the test as they mobilized to Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla. During their pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ training, Moody’s 347th Rescue Group tested and maximized their CSAR and personnel recovery capabilities. Under normal circumstances, the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews and maintainers deploy from Moody and normally integrate with a Guardian Angel team from a different base. This time, Moody’s 38th and 41st RQS’s will deploy together and utilized this exercise to improve their mission readiness and unit cohesion before their departure.
