Kadena Air Base, Japan (AFPN)- A pararescueman from the 31st
Rescue Squadron, Kadena Air Base, Japan, is extracted by a Navy SH-60
helicopter from the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk during a
non-combatant evacuation operation at Combat Town training area,
Okinawa, Japan, during Joint Air and Sea Exercise 2005 here. The
pararescue Airmen "rescued" U.S. Embassy personnel during training. Air
Force HH-60 helicopters from the 33rd Rescue Squadron also participated
in the exercise. JASEX provides a unique opportunity for air and naval
forces to work together in a maritime environment, including training
with the U.S. carrier strike group and attached air wing. (U.S. Air
