Personnel recovery
TheUnited States Armed Forces,in Joint Publication 3-50 Personnel Recovery, definespersonnel recoveryas "the sum of military, diplomatic, and civil efforts to prepare for and execute the recovery and reintegration of isolated personnel."
TheJoint Personnel Recovery Agencyis the Chairman's Controlled Activity and is designated as DoD's office of primary responsibility for DoD-wide personnel recovery (PR) matters, less policy.
TheEuropean Personnel Recovery Centrefacilitates the harmonisation of personnel recovery policy, doctrine and standards through clear lines of communications with partners stakeholders (nations and international organizations).[1]
The five PR execution tasks
[edit]- Report: Begins with the recognition of an isolating event. It must be both timely and accurate.
- Locate: Involves the effort to find and authenticate isolated personnel. Accurate position and positive ID are generally required prior to committing forces.
- Support: Involves support for isolated personnel and their families. It can include establishing two-way communications, dropping supplies, or suppressing enemy threats.
- Recover: Involves coordinated actions of commanders and staffs, recovery forces and the isolated individual.
- Reintegrate: The primary consideration is the physical and mental health of the recovered personnel.[2]
