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

6. Reports
b. On scene channels, primary and secondary
c. Monitor channels
d. SAR vessel's aerobeacon and IFF identification
e. Press channels
a. OSC collects on scene weather reports from SRUs,
collates information, and resolves discrepancies prior to
reports to SMC.
b. Parent activities report to SMC at end of day's
operations: sorties, hours flown, area(s) searched, and
coverage factor(s).
c. OSC reports to SMC.
C. Special Passing Instructions may be added to ensure that proper
personnel receive the search action plan. Such instructions are
inserted immediately before the message subject line. For example:
ATTN: Command Post Duty Officer 55 ARRS.
Pass to Aircraft Commander Coast Guard 1275.
343 Rescue Action Plan
A. The rescue action plan uses the same general format as the
search action plan and formally details actions required of
participating SRUs and agencies to carry out an effective, efficient,
and safe rescue. A rescue action plan is not required for most SAR
missions, since either it is combined with the search action plan or the
rescue may logically follow a successful search action plan.
B. The basic rescue action plan, discussed further in Chapter 7,
should be self-explanatory and usually has the following:
1. Situation
a. Brief description of incident.
b. Number of persons requiring rescue.
c. Extent of injuries of persons involved.
d. Amount and type of survival equipment.
e. Weather forecast and period for forecast.
