The largest largest Canadian Search and Rescue Exercise in nine years is coming to 19 Wing Comox.
They’ll be hosting 110 CAF members, and approximately 70 American personnel from the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force next week.
Together, 24 squadrons and units will be using 16 aircraft that will respond to over 60 simulated Search and rescue scenarios from September 9th to 13th.
“A successful SAR system is a result of a collective efforts made by all SAR partners,” says Lieutenant-Colonel Francois Fasquelle, Commanding Officer of 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron in Comox.
“Many organizations are involved due to the wide range of terrain and weather in North America. The list of partners is made up of government, military, volunteer and industry groups. We need to work together to provide effective SAR services.”
