Trained to recover. Ready to respond!

Every successful rescue depends on teamwork, preparation and the ability to perform under pressure. Through SAR training, Sailors maintain the skills necessary to respond to emergencies at sea.

The work behind every takeoff.

Maintaining aircraft is a team effort and contributes to the next launch. Squadron Sailors work side by side in the hangar bay to inspect, repair, and service their aircraft, ensuring they remain ready for continued operations.

Supplies on the move!

From ship to ship, Sailors keep essential supplies moving during a vertical replenishment at sea. These evolutions enable the ship to receive supplies without interrupting ongoing operations, thanks in large part to the dedication of Merchant Mariners.
