Angel Thunder 2013, conducted during April in Arizona and New Mexico, is the world's largest Personnel Recovery (PR) exercise, supporting the Department of Defense (DoD), which affirms Personnel Recovery as "One of the Highest Priorities".
Angel Thunder provides the most realistic PR training environment available to USAF Rescue forces, as well as their Joint, Inter-agency, and International partners from Brazil to Uruguay. Angel Thunder also involves collaboration with Air Force Special Operation Command's Emerald Warrior and the US Navy 3rd Fleet JWFC Training and Exercise, and the U.S. Army and Air Force Reserve's Global Medic exercises.
