    Welcome, attendees

    You are part of the first one.

    You are here as a participant in the inaugural International Rescue Symposium, hosted by Pacific Air Forces and led by the U.S. Air Force Pararescue community. Over this week, rescue operators, planners, and senior leaders from across the Pacific share how they organize, train, and equip for personnel recovery, and put it into practice through live exercise and team events. This is a working symposium built on operator-to-operator exchange, not a spectator event.

    Everything on this page is built for you: today's schedule up top, family information, and a place to tell us what worked and what would make the next one better. Share everything you can this week, take note of anything missing, and leave with people across the community you can call.

    This week

    Share Methods

    Exchange how your teams run search and rescue, personnel recovery, and humanitarian response across ocean, jungle, mountain, and urban terrain.

    Build Interoperability

    Work through common procedures, communications, and trust so partner forces can operate together from day one of a crisis.

    Train Together

    See it live at the CAPEX off Waikiki Beach, and put teamwork to the test at the Monster Mash and team events.

    This week

    Make It Better
