THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE
Leave no one behind is our nation's promise and responsibility to our warfighters. Pararescue Airmen, also known as PJs, extract, treat, stabilize and evacuate American and Allied forces in times of danger or extreme duress. They'll do whatever it takes to deny the enemy a victory and bring our heroes home.
PJ's are nationally registered paramedics who have undergone advanced emergency medical training. They're the only U.S. military combat force specifically organized, trained and equipped to conduct both conventional and unconventional combat and humanitarian rescue operations. They operate most often as independent teams but routinely serve side by side with other U.S. and Allied special operations forces.
These highly specialized Airman are technical rescue specialists and certified paramedics. They possess the training and capabilities to go wherever they are needed to ensure no Airman, Marine, Soldier, or Sailor is left behind. Upon completion of training, PJ’s receive their Nationally Registered Paramedic Certification (NREMT-P), which is the highest EMT certification that can be obtained. PJ’s are tasked to put their training into action in the most stressful of environments ranging from war zones to humanitarian response missions. They execute their mission while applying fundamental combat skills and by using a range of weapons and strategies.
