The Air Rescue Service was initially established in 1946 under the Air Transport Command, just prior to the U.S. Air Force\'s designation as a separate service in 1947, and it continued to serve the U.S. Air Force proudly as both ARS and ARRS during the Korean War and Vietnam War, as well as during the Cold War. Rescue\'s worth was proven time and again: 996 combat saves in Korea and 2,780 in Southeast Asia. The crews, both fixed-wing and helicopter, had but one motto: \"These things we do that others may live.\"

ARRS returned to its former name of ARS in 1989 and was disestablished in 1993, following the disestablishment of Military Airlift Command and the dispersal of legacy USAF search and rescue (SAR) forces among the Air Combat Command (ACC), the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) and Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), to include those Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and Air National Guard (ANG) rescue units operationally-gained by these MAJCOMs. The current structure and strength of search and rescue in today\'s U.S. Air Force is focused primarily on combat search and rescue (CSAR) and Personnel Recovery (PR) and is greatly reduced from the air rescue force structure that served from 1946 through the end of the Vietnam Era.

Combat Rescue Officer (CRO) is a career field in the United States Air Force. Its Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) is 13D and it was created to strengthen USAF personnel recovery capabilities. The CRO specialty includes direct combatant command and control of Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operations. They plan, manage and execute the six tasks of CSAR: prepare, report, locate, support, recover, and reintegrate isolated personnel and materiel. CROs conduct strategic, operational and tactical level planning, provide battle staff expertise, manage theater personnel recovery operations and conduct combat operations.

Pararescuemen, also known as PJs (Pararescue Jumpers), are United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Air Combat Command (ACC) operatives tasked with recovery and medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat environments. These special operations units are also used to support NASA missions and have been used to recover astronauts after water landings. They are attached to other SOF teams from all branches to conduct other operations as appropriate. Of the 22 enlisted Air Force Cross recipients, 12 are Pararescuemen. They wear the maroon beret as a symbol of their elite status, and to symbolize the blood shed by past PJs, as well as the blood current PJs are willing to shed to save lives. Part of the little-known Air Force Special Operations community and long an enlisted preserve, the Pararescue service began commissioning Combat Rescue Officers early in the 21st century.

The Sikorsky MH-60/HH-60 Pave Hawk is a four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility military helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. The HH-60 Pave Hawk and its successor the HH-60W Jolly Green II are combat rescue helicopters, though in practice they often serve humanitarian and peacetime disaster rescue. It is a derivative of the UH-60 Black Hawk and incorporates the US Air Force PAVE electronic systems program. The HH-60/MH-60 is a member of the Sikorsky S-70 family. The MH-60G Pave Hawk\'s primary mission is insertion and recovery of special operations personnel, while the HH-60G Pave Hawk\'s core mission is recovery of personnel under hostile conditions, including combat search and rescue. Both versions conduct day or night operations into hostile environments. Because of its versatility, the HH-60G may also perform peacetime operations such as civil search and rescue, emergency aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), disaster relief, international aid and counter-drug activities. The USAF HH/MH-60G are in the process of being replaced by the new HH-60W Jolly Green II starting in the 2020s, with both types being operating during that time. The HH-60P is operated by South Korea.

The tradition of PJs adorning their bottoms with green feet traces back to a man named Wayne Fisk, a pararescueman who retired from the Air Force at the rank of chief master sergeant after 27 years of service and three tours in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. It was in 1971, when Fisk was finishing his second tour, that one of his butt cheeks became the first PJ butt cheek ever to be stamped with a pair of little green feet.Considering the exact look of his tattoo, Fisk knew that the imagery had to somehow relate to the 40th ARRS’s rescue helicopters. The squadron flew HH-3E Jolly Green Giant helicopters and, later, HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giants, to conduct their combat search-and-rescue missions. In Southeast Asia, the Jolly Greens — which share their name with General Mills’ vegetable-man mascot — would often land in rice patties or fields of elephant grass. When the helicopters would take off again, they would leave deep impressions in the ground that looked sort of like giant green footprints.

When the idea of getting a pair of green footprints inked on his body dawned on him, Fisk knew his search for the perfect tattoo was over. “The emblem of the Jolly Green Giants were green feet, and so I would have green feet,” he recalled years later in an interview with the National Museum of the United States Air Force. As for determining where the tattoo should go, he decided that it would have to be “someplace that people are going to remember.”.
