Combat Search and Rescue

Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) is a military operation focused on locating, retrieving, and providing medical aid to military personnel or civilians who are downed, injured, or trapped behind enemy lines. It involves specialized teams and equipment to quickly locate individuals, often under dangerous conditions, and extract them safely. CSAR missions prioritize speed, security, and mission success, often operating in hostile environments to ensure rescue while minimizing further risk to those involved.
