Encl: (1) Wartime Search and Rescue Procedures (2) Definitions of SAR Terms
1. Purpose: The purpose of this instruction is to establish standard-
ized wartime search and rescue procedures for U.S. military forces
operating in the CINCPAC area.
2. Cancellation: This instruction supersedes reference (a), "Wartime
Search and Rescue (SAR) Procedures for U.S. Military r'orces in the
CINCPAC Area of Re~;pons ibility. "
3. General: Wartime-search and rescue procedures arc basically an
extension of existing peacetime SAR organization and procedures in
friendly territory, with special provisions incorporated for employ-
mont in hostile areas. To facilitate ease of implementation, these
wartime procedures shall be used during peacetime to the extent,
practicable consistent with the National SAR. Plan and security r(:. uirc-
ments. Enclosure (I) contains standardized procedures for wartime
SAR which have been established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff for world
wide use by all U. S. military forces during limited or local wars as
well as general war. The definitions of SAR terns used in this
instruction are listed L enclosure (2).
4, Objectives: The objectives of Wartime Search and Rescue are:
a. To recover personnel.
b. To deny the enemy a source of intelligence information.

c. SAR operations in support of tactical operations.
6. Coordination and Coynrnand Relationshi . s :
a. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have assigned CINCPAC primary
authority and responsibility for military SAR in the Pacific.
b. CINCPAC by delegation and agreement, has reassigned this
authority and responsibility for SAR in the Pacific to component
commanders and adjacent commanders.
(1) Delegation:
(a) CINCPACFL.T is SAR commander for military SAR
in the Pacific Maritime Region.
(b) CINCPACAF is SAR commander for the Pacific
Overseas Region.

a. Preca ution~ir Si\j.
(1) Submarines and Surface Shi Ps.
(a) Submarines and surface ships may be used for LIFE
GUARD when the air combat mission indicates a need for precaution-
ary SAR assistance along the planned air route and when this function
is compatible with the primary assigned mission of the submarine or
surface ship. Close liaison with submarine and surface forces should
be maintained to insure optimum utilization of the available forces.
(b) An aircraft desiring to establish communications with
an unknown submarine or surface ship in connection with SAR, will
use the rescue ship voice call "LIFE GUARD", or the CW call sign
"NERK. " .
(c) LIFE GUARD desiring to establish communications
with an unknown aircraft in connection with SAR, will use the voice
call "RIALTO." (Example: "RIALTO, this is LIFE GUARD.... ")
(d) Aircraft covering LIFE GUARDS shall establish radio
contact Immediately upon arriving on station, and then, when practical,
search a radius of 25 miles around LIFE GUARD'S position for enemy
ships.
(e) To conceal their identity, LIFE GUARDS will use
their assigned tactical voice call prefaced by LIFE GUARD.
(2) Strategic Ill /DF Nets. The services of strategic HF/DF
net maybe used for SAR. This net can track a surface ship or aircraft
which is transmitting a signal, and can furnish bearings or a fix. Sur-
face ships or aircraft cannot communicate directly with the net. When
an emergency situation exists;, this fact shall be reported over normal

ACP-130 series.
(3) DUCK BUTTS. DUCK BUTTS are pre-pJ.anned and pre-
positioned to provide prcc'autionary SAR and support deployment of single
place jet aircraft or to rncct other speciali ,cd situations. Ail. Force
Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service Manual 55-6, "Precautionary
Orbitt (DUCK BUTT) Manual, " provides air routes, positions, identifi-
cations, frequencies, and call signs. Operating con-linanders are
responsible for pro-planning with the appropriate SAR agency for DUCK
BUTT support of their tactical operations.
b. Communications Procedures.
(1) A distress condition should be reported by geographical
coordinates, if possible, or reference to prominent terrain features, or
designated reference points.
(2) Frequencies and communications procedures for distress ,
and scene of action air-to-air, air-to-surface,. and surface -to.surface
SAR operations are provided in ACP-135 s t i
(3) Section 5, ACP 119 series, provides voice call signs for
SAR scene of action operations.
(4) Joint use of visual air rescue signals will be in accordance
with established international distress signals.
2. SAR Procedures in Hostile Territory. Procedures and techniques
:-discussed in paragraph 1 above for use in friendly territory are
applicable to hostile territory as well. In addition, the area commander
will, develop specific procedures, tactics, and equipment in keeping
with the tactical forces, enemy situation, climatic and geographical
factors involved,

territory must have knowledge of the enemy and his potential prior to

practical:
a. Act as relay to A i,r Rescue or other ground
b. Transmit the following information, if known:
Call sign of the downed aircraft, exact location of downed aircrew and/
or bearing and distance from a wcl1??known landmark, whether downed
airman is alive and under surveillance, air/ground activity and flak
conditions, and whether or not in radio contact with downed airman.
Air /Ground.
a. Distressed personnel shall display appropriate
international distress signals in order to attract the attention of
friendly forces.
Personnel downed in enemy territory will
concentrate on evading, surviving, and locating a suitable removal area
,,prior to initiating distress calls "in-the-blind. " The initial distress
transmissions will contain the follovwing,,data:
Distress call (three times) - "MAY DAY,
MAY DAY, MAY DAY," identification, name, location, number of
persons, type landing site available, and remarks.
Example: "MAY DAY, MAY DAY, MAY DAY,
HOT ROD 13, JONES, 10 miles due east of Mt Stalin, plus 3, land
(water) (chopper). "
Any friendly force copying such a call will relay it to the Joint SAR
Center. Security restrictions pe rutting, the distress message will be
acknowledged. After making an emergency call, distressed personnel
will be alert for friendly aircraft. .Emergency radio homing signal will
-,'be turned on when SARI aircraft are sighted. Other signalling devices.
i. e. , mirrors, fires, panels, etc. , shall be used to attract attention of

Distressed personnel possessing; U1-I7F /VI-IF radio will cstab]ish radio

call sign RIALTO and the tactical call sign or unit designation of the
distressed personnel will be used. A sample transmission is as follows:
"RIALTO THIS IS DERBY 24, OVER." This transmission should be
repeated until the SAR aircraft answers, or until it is obvious that'con-
tact cannot be established. Upon receipt of the distress transmission
the SAR aircraft will answer using his assigned call sign. A sample
transmission is as-follows: "DERBY 24, THIS IS :PLAYM-ATE 11,

f. Authentication.

(a) An authentication system is essential to protect the
rescue forces from possible capture or destruction.
(b) Aircrew members subject to possible isolation in
enemy territory will be ass i.gned a personal authenticator. Ground
tactical units will be assigned unit authenticators in an appropriate
Signal Operation Instructions (SOI) item.
(c) The area commander may revise or modify the authen-
tication procedures outlined in 2. c. (2) below to make them compatible
with specific theater requirements.

(b) Tactical unit SAR authenticators will. consist of a four-
'numbcred group assigned down to company level and published in an
appropriate Division 501. iten-1.
(c) If the authenticator is used, but the recovery is not
completed, the rescue forces may refer to the unit through the SAR center
for additional personal information on the individual or unit which may
be used for authentication purposes on subsequent recovery attempts.
(d) Authentication may be accomplished by radio communi-
cations or by visual signals. The presence of a visual signal in an
area where survivors arc expected is justification to drop a radio.
(3) How Used.
(a) Recovery force in contact with possible survivor, but
in doubt as to authenticity of the objective, will challenge. Objective
will respond with name or tactical call sign and personal or unit authen-
tication. Example: "DERBY 24, THIS IS PLAYMATE, OVER. AUTHEN-
. TICAT.E, PLAYMATE, THIS IS DERBY 24, BROWN 2738, OVER."
(b) In the event eit er the rescue force or the objective
wish to transmit coordinates, the personal authenticator will be used
as an additive. Example: The first two digits will be added to degrees
latitude and the last two digits will be added to degrees longitude.
Minutes and seconds will not be changed.
