Summary[edit]

Description Dave Torrance, Tech. Sgt., 210th Rescue Squadron Special Mission Aviator with the Alaska Air National Guard's HH-60 Pave Hawks, mans the hoist cable system during a training mission above Homer, Alaska. The cable hoist system is used to lower pararescuemen to treat and rescue potential victims when the weather or terrain does not allow for the helicopter to land. In a combat theater the hoist system allows for an expedited rescue to minimize the vulnerability of the Pave Hawk and the crew members. (U.S. Air Guard photo by Lt. Bernie Kale)
