An U.S. Air Force HH-60G Pavehawk helicopter from the 55th Rescue Squadron flies above the Pacific Ocean in route to rescue two critically burned sailors 600 nautical miles of the coast of Mexico May 5, 2014. Airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group flew in a 79th RQS HC-130J Combat King II aircraft for nearly 11 hours, to parachute Guardian Angel teams near the ship, with two inflatable zodiac boat packages and medical equipment, so that they could deliver lifesaving care and stabilize the injured sailors. Guardian Angels are the only Department of Defense combat forces specifically organized, trained, equipped, and postured to conduct full spectrum personnel recovery operations.
