JP 3-50 National Search and Rescue Manual Vol I - US Navy

2. Inland SAR. The Commander, Air Rescue Service (ARS), is the
executive agent for the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff,
designated to implement the National SAR Plan for the Inland
SAR area. The Commander, ARS, has established a single SRR
with its RCC at Scott Air Force Base (AFB), IL.
3. Overseas SAR. The Overseas Area includes Alaska and all other
portions of the globe not within the Maritime and Inland
Areas. Various Unified Commands implement the National SAR
Plan within the Overseas Area, and usually assign subordinate
commands as SAR Coordinators.
B. While the Maritime and Inland Areas are generally composed of
internationally recognized SRRs and SRSs, the Overseas Area established
for national purposes is not so organized, but instead overlaps SRRs and
SRSs of other nations. Unified Commanders perform SAR in the Overseas
Area only after considering the laws, policies, and SAR capabilities of
all countries possibly involved and only when the SAR response does not
interfere with their primary mission. Other nations are normally
expected to assume primary responsibility for coordinating SAR in these
areas.
C. Geographic SAR responsibilities have been established as
follows:
