text: Army Personnel Recovery Operations
  threat of isolation is such that a personal relationship is required. There are staff personnel recovery
  responsibilities associated with each of the Army warfighting functions. (Chapter 2 describes the
  responsibilities of the PRCS.)

  1-10. DOD policy directs the Services to develop a personnel recovery capability. The Marine Corps,
  Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard have long familiarity with personnel recovery because the nature of their
  operations often requires them to recover the crews of ships and aircraft. Service doctrine and practice are
  applicable for permissive environments, resulting from accidents or disaster, and nonpermissive
  environments in combat or unfriendly situations. The joint force commander can task subordinates with
  personnel recovery missions. All Service components staff, equip, and train personnel recovery sections for
  24-hour operations.
  Marine Corps
  1-11. Marine Corps personnel recovery operations follow a tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel
  (known as TRAP) concept. The Marine Corps does not dedicate personnel recovery assets but trains and
  exercises all appropriate units for these missions. Marine Corps personnel recovery operations range from
  single aircraft missions to a task force with fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, security elements, ground
  search capability, and medical support. The Marine air-ground task force operates much like Army tactical-
  level units for personnel isolated in ground operations. A Marine expeditionary unit is the standard
  forward-deployed Marine Corps expeditionary organization. Marine expeditionary units have special
  operations capabilities. Appendix D of JP 3-50 discusses Marine Corps personnel recovery.
  Navy
  1-12. The Navy conducts personnel recovery operations to support its surface, subsurface, and air assets.
  Navy search and rescue doctrine discusses permissive and nonpermissive actions. The Navy deploys
