Personnel recovery

The United States Armed Forces, in Joint Publication 3-50 Personnel Recovery, defines personnel recovery as "the sum of military, diplomatic, and civil efforts to prepare for and execute the recovery and reintegration of isolated personnel."

The Joint Personnel Recovery Agency is the Chairman's Controlled Activity and is designated as DoD's office of primary responsibility for DoD-wide personnel recovery (PR) matters, less policy.

The European Personnel Recovery Centre facilitates the harmonisation of personnel recovery policy, doctrine and standards through clear lines of communications with partners stakeholders (nations and international organizations)[1].

The five PR execution tasks
  1. Report: Begins with the recognition of an isolating event. It must be both timely and accurate.
  2. Locate: Involves the effort to find and authenticate isolated personnel. Accurate position and positive ID are generally required prior to committing forces.
  3. Support: Involves support for isolated personnel and their families. It can include establishing two-way communications, dropping supplies, or suppressing enemy threats.
  4. Recover: Involves coordinated actions of commanders and staffs, recovery forces and the isolated individual.
  5. Reintegrate: The primary consideration is the physical and mental health of the recovered personnel.[2]
gollark: Politics makes all the human tribal instincts flare up, and brings in ideological stuff.
gollark: In those cases people will at least probably agree if you present a good case that your model/argument fits the data better, or something.
gollark: The most you get with that here, generally, is Spirit pointing out that everything you said was completely wrong, but with political stuff people disagree on a lot of things in ways which are hard to reconcile.
gollark: People disagree on politics more than... science things, I guess.
gollark: I mean, I'm just generally... in favour of free speech, not nazism or whatever?
