August 21, 2020 - The U.S. Air Force 68th Rescue Squadron hosts a high
angle/tech rescue operations as part of the Combat Team Member Course at
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
High angle/tech rescue is considered
to be terrain that has a slope angle of 60 degrees and higher requiring the
use of specialized tools and skills for rescue, including vehicle
extrication, confined space rescue, rope rescue, trench rescue,
structural collapse rescue, water rescue, and wilderness search and
rescue. These often require specialized rescue squads as they exceed
the capabilities of conventional rescue efforts.
