304th RQS
PORTLAND, Ore. - Air Force Reserce pararescuemen from the 304th Rescue Squadron, a geographically seperated unit from the 920th Rescue Wing, Cocoa Beach, Fla., were asked to join in the search of a 57 year-old hiker. The 304th RQS has the training and skills to navigate the rough, rugged terrain 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)
