. Prompt dispatch of appropriate and adequate rescue facilities.
. Thorough prosecution of SAR operations until rescue has been effected, assistance is no longer necessary, or operations are suspended when it is apparent that further effort would prove to be unsuccessful.
C.1.b. Duties
Auxiliarists and Auxiliary facilities involved in SAR follow procedures prescribed by SAR coordinators. This coordination is the responsibility of the District Commander. The duties of SAR coordinators include the following:
. Establish an RCC.
. Ensure that a SAR plan is prepared and distributed to appropriate activities.
. Establish, organize, and maintain communications facilities.
. Designate SMCs for specific SAR missions.
C.2. SAR Mission Coordinators
The SMC is an official designated by the SAR coordinator to coordinate and control a specific SAR mission. Each SAR mission has an SMC who may be either the SAR coordinator or a designated official who is directed to coordinate and control a particular SAR mission. Since the duties of the SMC require sophisticated and extensive communication capabilities, Auxiliary aircraft are usually not designated the SMC.
C.3. On-Scene Commander
The OSC controls SAR operations and communications at the scene of the SAR incident. In designating an OSC, it is important that adequate SAR facilities be continuously available so that the OSC may maintain direct control of on-scene operations and communications with assigned facilities. Frequent change of the OSC is not desirable. Seniority is not a basis for assuming OSC duties unless it becomes essential or is ordered by the SMC. If the OSC happens to be airborne, on-scene control shall be retained until relieved by the SMC or until relief becomes necessary and is accomplished by mutual agreement with another on-scene unit. Such would be the case when the airborne unit reaches its minimum safe fuel level. The SMC would be advised of that relief by means of a SITREP from the aircraft to the SMC.
C.3.a. OSC Designation
An OSC is not required for all missions, although the general rule is to designate an OSC anytime there are two or more SAR units in the area. The SMC may designate an OSC when better coordination at the scene is required and such coordination can be more properly effected at the scene. If an OSC has not been designated, the first Search and Rescue Unit (SRU) arriving on-scene assumes OSC responsibilities and advises the SMC of the situation.
