*'Air Force Guardians, Air Rescue Team' Rescue pilots who have fallen into enemy territory. No matter how skilled a pilot is, in an emergency, they protect their lives by 'ejecting' by abandoning their fighter jet. However, the problem is how to return safely if they fall into the middle of the ocean or enemy territory. The mission of the air rescue team starts here. So how do the rescuers identify the pilots and how do the helicopters that come to rescue them recognize them? The rescuers and pilots identify each other according to the agreed-upon secret marks. The rescue helicopters and fighters identify each other according to the encrypted guidance procedure using the double personal identification procedure, communicators, and infrared lights. If there is even one mistake in this process, the air rescue team withdraws. The 202nd rookies, the last 4 members of the air rescue team, are an extremely elite unit with only about 70 discharged members. The number of members currently active is only about 50, which means that it is difficult to become an air rescue team and maintain qualifications. Among the 160 people who completed their NCO training and applied for the Air Rescue Team, the four who survived through rescuer training were recently assigned to the Air Rescue Team. The oldest member is 23 years old. Furthermore, they seem far from the 'human weapons' armed with strong spirit and physical strength that come to mind when thinking of special forces. Will these four new recruits be recognized as official members of the Air Rescue Team, SART? In order to become a proper air rescuer, you must go through basic training courses such as high-altitude parachuting, diving, sea rescue, mountain rescue, ice rescue, and first aid, which takes about a year. Those selected from among the NCOs with strong physical strength challenge to become air rescuers, but about half of the total fail in the process. In addition, at least 5 years of training are required to go through practical training and special training for combat situations and be deployed in actual rescue operations. We closely covered the scuba training of the new air rescue team members in a 5-meter pool and the day and night sea rescue training. One of the essential skills that air rescue team members must have is long-distance swimming. This is because they must find, rescue, and bring back pilots who have fallen into the sea. Therefore, swimming 5 kilometers is a must-pass during air rescue team training. Four new members are challenging this. However, the problem is hypothermia. If you stay in water temperatures of around 17 degrees for several hours, your hands and feet will shrink and you will lose control of your body. One of the new members with severe hypothermia got into a serious situation with 2 kilometers left during the 5-kilometer swim and got on a rubber boat. Will the final four members of the 202nd class be able to pass the 5-kilometer swim and be recognized as air rescue team members? ※ This video is from [Wednesday Planning - Air Force Guardians, Air Rescue Team] that aired on September 3, 2009. This is how the best are made 1. Invincible Sword/Silver/Belly/Rain/Army Special Forces How are they made the best? Special Forces are the first to infiltrate enemy territory and open infiltration routes in times of emergency. We take a look at the process of how ordinary young people become the best special forces through special training such as infiltration, escape, and hiding, as well as land, sea, and even air infiltration using parachutes. 2. Mission Impossible given to them at a temperature of -30℃! Winter training begins with a full 40kg military uniform in the bitter cold of -30℃. After an all-night march, they arrive at Hwangbyeongsan Mountain, which is over 1,400 meters above sea level. They undergo infiltration training in the same tension as actual combat, including building a hideout, camouflage, night infiltration, combat, and detonation. From building a ski resort on bare ground to taking a cold bath in ice water, there is no mission impossible for special forces. 3. This is how the best are made! “I envy the lights of apartments just passing by.” Special Forces agents who have to spend more than half of the year away from their families. The only power that can overcome all this training is the pride of being a South Korean special forces member. Today's peace is all the more valuable because there are those who become the best through endless training. ※ This video is [Wednesday Project - This is How the Best Are Made] that aired on February 22, 2006. #Special Forces #Air Rescue Unit #Special Forces #Military ✔KBS Documentary KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] 🔔Subscribe👍Like➡️ / @kbsdocumentary 📝Inquiries: [email protected] Copyright ⓒ KBS.
