RMC qualified crews should state"RMC-qualified" upon initial call-up with AMC to help the AMC assign tasks appropriately.OSC procedures. Any aircraft (involved in the operation) can be designated as theOSC, should be familiar with OSC responsibilities and should carry the PR 11-Line checklist/ report format (see paragraph J). Wingman shall assume OSC first if threat / fuel /mission permits. Eyewitness to downed aircraft. Mark your position and, if practical,the survivor’s position. Report the shoot down to the appropriate PR C 2 assets. Use PRIRchecklist/report format. Assume OSC if threat/fuel/mission permits.Airborne asset communications with survivor.a. Use of PR Codes. If specific PR codes are to be used by specific players in the recoverymission, details are to be mentioned here. E.g. One of the four statements of theISOPREP may be reserved for use by the OSC or EF, or the PR colour, or word maybe designated as the initial means to authenticate isolated personnel. Such specialuses are to be mentioned here wherever applicable.b. OSC / RMC. To avoid unfriendly DF detection, every effort will be made to employdata burst and limit voice communication with the survivor until the final phaseof rescue with the EF.c. Make every attempt to ask the survivor only yes / no questions and expect databurst or PTT clicks = yes, PTT clicks = no. OSC / RMCwill confirm with the survivors that data burst transmissions are being receivedby data-bursting "Message Received, Standby" after each data burst.d. Pass survivor coordinates via a secure net. If secure net is unavailable, pass encryptedsurvivor location using position TO the SARDOT, or use the Search AndRescue Numeric Encryption Grid (SARNEG).e. SARNEG: Use the SARNEG as an alternate means to pass position when securecommunication is not possible.f. For coordinates, pass NORTH / SOUTH first, then EAST / WEST in degrees, minutesand tenths of minutes. Do not say "North" or "East" unless you are forcedout of your aircraft south of the equator or west of 0 Meridian. In this particularcase only, to avoid any confusion or ambiguity, state "South" after passing the firstset of coordinates or "West" after second set. Preface all encoded information with"SARNEG". Do not use any clear text with the encoding that could compromise thegrid or information being passed in the clear.H.9.3Downed aircrew proceduresEstablishing timely contact with friendly forces and accurately passing initial contactinformation is critical to your rescue. Immediate rescue procedures should be followedfor the first hours. If forced to evade attempt to follow EPA procedures.NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC
