bd.
‘These references further provide that:.
operations within their respective commands are set forth in reference
(a). Specifically, as relates to the area of primary concern to Commander, JIF SEVEN, responsibility for Search and Rescue is assigned to
CINCPAC,
"Por tactical aircraft, operating on unit combat or training missions, the primary responsibility for SAR rests
with the commander exercising operational control of the
aircraft regardless of the area of operation,
This re--
sponsibility may be delegated to subordinate commanders,
Commanders holding SAR responsibility as defined above shall
insure that their operating forces are familiar with the
rescue facilities and procedures of the SAR area in which
they are operating and shall request assistance as neces~
sary from the appropriate area SAR Commander, Once the
area SAR Commander has been requested to provide assistance
he assumes SAR control,"
The paragraph quoted is applicable to Operation CASTLE (RESTRICTED, SI),
and places certain responsibilities on Commander JTF SEVEN.
c, Overall responsibility for search an& rescue within JTF
SEVEN is delegated to 76 7.4, 14 7.4 is therefore responsible for the
overall control of all JIF SEVEN SAR operations, ‘This overall responsibility however in no way relieves each individual Task Group Commander
of his inherent SAR responsibilities as pertains to his own forces,
