International Rescue Symposium 2026
Welcome. This is your week.
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.
Exchange how your teams run search and rescue, personnel recovery, and humanitarian response across ocean, jungle, mountain, and urban terrain.
Work through common procedures, communications, and trust so partner forces can operate together from day one of a crisis.
See it live at the CAPEX off Waikiki Beach, and put teamwork to the test at the Monster Mash and team events.
Note what would strengthen future iterations and share it through the feedback page. Your input shapes the next symposium.
Symposium activities are planned and executed in coordination with federal, state, and local agencies to keep participants, the public, and waterways safe.
