Inside Combat Rescue

The highly skilled Pararescuemen, known as PJs, are the elite members of the U.S. Air Force with a singular focus: to rescue American or Allied personnel facing life-threatening situations. Whether they are downed pilots, isolated troops behind enemy lines, or individuals who are wounded or captured, PJs are committed to any means necessary to bring them back safely. For the first time ever, these courageous airmen permit camera crews to document their operations in Afghanistan. Inside Combat Rescue reveals the intense realities and personal stories of these remarkable warriors.
