SO OTHERS MAY LIVE When disaster strikes, Aviation Rescue Swimmers don't hesitate-they jump. Into raging seas, hurricane winds, and combat zones, they go where others won't- to bring people back alive. As part of the world's most elite Special Operations force, Navy AIRRs execute life-or-death rescues in the most extreme conditions. Whether pulling survivors from sinking ships, saving downed pilots, or braving towering waves, they live by one mission: so others may live. That motto isn't just a phrase-it's a promise. And they prove it every time they leap into the unknown. Enlisted None WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT AIRR Aviation Rescue Swimmer Naval Aircrewman Helicopter - Sierra Naval Aircrewman Helicopter - Romeo Naval Aircrewman: MH-60 Romeo & MH-60 Sierra AVIATION RESCUE SWIMMER: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS Responsibilities Aviation Rescue Swimmers are tasked with entering treacherous conditions to assist with rescue missions, humanitarian assistance, and operational support.

Depending on your role, duties may include: • Coordinating with pilots as an Aircrewman aboard helicopters, • Saving the crew of downed aircraft, people aboard stranded or capsized vessels at sea, or hikers and mountain climbers in danger, • Rescuing civilians during natural disasters in collaboration with other forces such as the Coast Guard, • Delivering aid and supplies to other countries in humanitarian operations, • Providing support to Naval Special Warfare Operations, • Conducting surveillance in anti-submarine warfare and drug interdiction operations, • Operate radar, Forward Looking Infrared sensors, missile systems and door guns in anti-surface operations Naval Aircrewman Helicopter (AWS) AWS's operate various aircraft systems to support a range of mission types including: • Surface Warfare, • Search and Rescue, • Combat Search and Rescue, • Naval Special Warfare, • Airborne Mine Countermeasure AWR's operate various aircraft systems to support a range of mission types including: • Anti-Submarine, • Recon & Intelligence, • Anti-Surface Ship, • Search and Rescue, • Combat Search and Rescue, • Naval Special Warfare Fire Support Work Environment As an AIRR, you will operate in almost every type of extreme environment and may be assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) or Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadrons (HSM) sea or shore duty in any part of the world.

Training & Advancement Aviation Rescue Swimmers must be prepared to operate in any challenging environment. It's why two years of training in advanced swimming and lifesaving techniques, helicopter mission equipment and helicopter weapons systems are required before you report to your first squadron. Throughout training, candidates are continually tested mentally and physically as they advance to more rigorous and challenging scenarios. Upon completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), those pursuing an Aircrewman role undergo the following training pipeline: Aviation Rescue Swimmer School Prep Course (2 weeks) in Pensacola, FL. Aircrew Candidate School (4 weeks) in Pensacola, FL, to learn Naval Aviation fundamentals, intermediate water survival, aviation physiology and advanced water survival. Rescue Swimmer School (6 weeks) in Pensacola, FL, to learn search and rescue techniques.

Fleet Replacement Squadrons (28-52 weeks) location dependent on aircrew rating in one of five locations (Jacksonville, FL, Norfolk, VA, San Diego, CA, Oklahoma City, OK, Ft Worth, TX) for basic flight and aircraft weapons systems training. After graduation, an AIRR may be assigned to a helicopter command at sea or on shore duty in various locations throughout the world, Japan, Guam, Spain, or the continental US including San Diego, CA, Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville, FL, Fallon, NV, Whidbey Island, WA, Key West, FL and many others.

Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from military tactics and small arms use to survival and a number of other tactical military procedures.
