Pararescue demands the best. In making your decision about becoming a PJ, carefully consider the points outlined in this curriculum from the 920th Rescue Wing.

Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas in a matter of hours on Aug. 25, 2017. With flood waters surging and families and pets trapped in homes, buildings, and vehicles, the 920th Rescue Wing was called into action.

Members of Special Warfare undergo extensive training to perform a variety of missions under extreme conditions.

They are the military’s “guardian angels.” They are trained paramedics, paratroopers, and combat divers. This is the story of one such airman, and the mission of a lifetime.

Training along the Miami coastline, these Air Force Pararescue specialists prepare for a water evacuation scenario.

Before you can join Air Force Special Warfare, you must pass the Physical Ability and Stamina Test (PAST). Train for this rigorous physical test with these workout guidelines from the U.S.A.F.

When an injured Airman needs saving from a hostile or otherwise unreachable area, Pararescuers bring them home.

The Airmen who make up Air Force Special Warfare are the most specialized warriors on the planet. They are the ones other special forces look to when the mission calls for their unique skills and fearless commitment.
