The 920th Rescue Wing (RQW), originally the 301st Rescue Squadron, was the Air Force Reserve's first rescue squadron.


The squadron's legacy includes the first Reserve rescue in January 1957;participating inNASAs rescue contingency operations beginning with the first Mercury launch
in 1961; rescuing 137 south Florida residents during the 18 day
humanitarian operation following Hurricane Andrew, August 1992; and, in
one day in March 1993, saving 93 elderly residents from rising flood
waters at their Tampa area retirement community. The 920th searches the
Caribbean for downed aircraft and retrieves critically ill sailors from
ships hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic.


Most recently, airmen of the 920th Rescue Wing with aid from the US
Coast Guard made a daring rescue of 28 British seamen from their
sinking merchant vessel 270 miles off the east coast of Florida. The
unit's crews fly in weather conditions which often test man and machine
or at night using night-vision technology.
The 920th completes arduous, over-water rescues which frequently
require the unit's HH-60 helicopters to be mid-air refueled by their
HC-130 tanker aircraft -- a capability not shared with Coast Guard
helicopters.
