EIELSON AFB, Alaska-- An HH-60G Pave Hawk assigned to the 210th Rescue
Squadron, Det 1, Eielson Air Force Base. Prepares for a mission out to
Clear Air Base, Alaska on May 18, 2005. The primary mission of the
HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter is to conduct day or night operations into
hostile environments to recover downed aircrew or other isolated
personnel during war. Because of its versatility, the helicopter is
also tasked to perform operations other than military. These include
civil search and rescue, emergency aero-medical evacuation, disaster
relief, international aid, counter-drug activities and NASA space
shuttle support. USAF Photo by Airman 1st Class Anthony Nelson
