106th Rescue Wing

The mission of the 106 Rescue Wing at Westhampton Beach, NY is Combat Search and Rescue. The specialized unit that carriers out these missions are the elite Pararescue Jumpers who are able to go anywhere in the world in a moments notice. They're as versatile as the tools they use, to include the HH-60 Pavehawk Helicopter and HC-130 Hercules Cargo Plane. The advantage for having versatile and advanced aircraft is mid-air refueling, which broadens rescue capabilities and ultimately saves lives.
