SERE Water Survival Training
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. -- An HH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., provides support for water survival training by hoisting students from the water to the helicopter in simulated rescue Sept. 18. The training, conducted by 1st Operations Support Squadron Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape specialists, teaches students how to survive if they egress over water. Students learn how to endure life in a 20-man raft, a seven-man raft and a one-man raft, as well as how to best utilize a survival kit. The course covers proper signaling, desalinating water, finding sustenance and how to properly release from a parachute drag. Pilots are required to complete water survival training every three years. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Christopher L. Ingersoll)
