Masters of the sky, seas
Capt. Marcus Truman, 336th Training Group combat rescue officer, freefall jumps out of a UH-1N Iroquois helicopter during water operations training scenario Oct. 17, 2014, at Long Lake, Washington. Truman was participating in the scenarios to stay current and proficient on his training as combat rescue officer. Becoming a combat rescue officer entails an extraneous two-phase program that filters officer candidates, solidifying who can withstand high winds, rough seas, extreme weather, mental fatigue and still lead the mission at hand. In 2002, the Combat Rescue Officer program was instated by the Air Force chief of staff, with the vision of having expert leading Airmen in parachuting, personal recovery, diving, resistance during captivity.
