USAF Pararescuemen (PJs) • U.S. Air Force Special Operations
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 03. 2018
- U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen conduct training on all aspects of combat, medical procedures and search and rescue tactics to hone their skills, providing the highest level of tactical capabilities to combatant commanders.
Pararescuemen (also known as PJs) are United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Air Combat Command (ACC) operators tasked with recovery and medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat environments. These special operations units are also used to support NASA missions and have been used to recover astronauts after water landings. They are attached to other SOF teams from all branches to conduct other operations as appropriate. Of the roughly 200 Air Force Cross recipients, only 24 are enlisted rank, of which 12 are Pararescuemen. Part of the little-known Air Force Special Operations community and long an enlisted preserve, the Pararescue service expanded to include Combat Rescue Officers early in the 21st century.

These guys are no joke. We had a soldier get left behind due to a bad count getting on a Chinook in 2008 in Iraq (That Platoon Sergeant was removed almost immediately). These guys had our guy and was back within an hour.
Wow. I mean I kind of get how that could happen if everybody thinks everybody else is accounting for someone but you'd still think someone would notice that a guy pulling security(I assume) didn't get on.
These guys are every part of the tip of the spear, cream of the crop !!
Lmao jeeez, i know that toon sgt got a really nice talk after that shit. Sucks cause it probably wasent even his fault
surprised the pl wasn’t relieved too
My TL left me on a mountain top in Kandahar. I was pulling guard on a small village, next thing I know my squad was at the bottom of the mountain. Oh well. I survived
I was a PJ in Vietnam--let me tell you, today these guys are so badass and fantastic that I cannot even compare myself to them!!! If you are in trouble--pray they send a PJ
I was in the California national guard and had the pleasure of meeting some of these guys along with some Green Berets one day....it was awesome talking to them....God bless those guys
Right? I was in a Cal Air Guard unit (the former 129 ARRG, I believe it's now called a Rescue Wing), and my comm unit was supporting them in an exercise. I volunteered to be a "survivor", got to see what they do close up. That was nearly 40 years ago. If my old wrinkled gray butt were to get in a real jam now, I'd want those guys to get me out. Damned impressive men.
This video does a good job of showing that suppressors don't "silence" a firearm.
OspreyBravo18 they suppress the sound, not silence it
OspreyBravo18 Movies misconception making people think silencers will barely make a sound
Seal1529 shooting 5.56 or 7.62 NATO suppressed just lower the decibels some.
It's when you shoot subsonic .300 where you notice a big difference
Suppressors and silencers are two different things. Silencers silence most of the sound of a gun or rifle and suppressors suppress the flash coming off the muzzle so you can not be seen by the enemy.
You're thinking of flash hiders. "Silencer" is a term often used interchangeably with suppressor, but suppressor is much more accurate to what it actually does. These, among other things, will reduce the flash and lower the volume of the gunshot. You can't silence any kind of rifle shot, unless you use subsonic ammunition, because bullets still travel fast enough to break the sound barrier in most rifle cartridges.
Funny how people think that the air force is for dandy's, would not mess with these guys, respect from Ireland
People say the same about the Navy but they have the SEALs
Fatal Oath Don’t forget EOD!
we'll I mean yeah but thats like only special force lmao
@@QuantumRush What? CCT? SOWT? TACP? SERE?

Alexsandr Agi i wish you the same.
Aleksandr Agi You and your loved ones will get what you deserve.
@@agi1363
To you the same, comrade.
Nothing but respect for these men. Amazing operators with a good heart. Their code is “these things we do, that others may live.” It doesn’t get more good than that.
I was in the air force in the early 1990's and was a C-5 flying crew chief out of Dover Afb DE. We used to fly some of these men to different location around the globe. I have respect for these men. God bless them and protect them.
The sound quality alone is worth watching. Be safe and thank you for your service!
Suppressed rifles are still loud af.. Splinter Cell is a lie.
us military! never mind what many people in europe say!!!! a very larg piece of people and many countries apreciate your engagement and your presence in europe!!!

You're alright buddy!!
I'll buy you beer!
SO MUCH respect for these guys. If you think running combat operations at the highest level is hard, try doing it while providing emergency medical assistance. Thanks for existing, PJ's! None of us could ever even begin to understand what you guys go through.
They look like engineers from battlefield 4
Perseus One Because they are .
Vlogging Addictions lol might as well be
In bf4 they're marines.
@OC SK yes, but these guys are airforce
@OC SK pretty sure they arent airforce in bf
I'm a former Marine.... I like to jokingly rag on the Air Force... but you PJs are fucking badass! Keep up the good work, fellas!
these guys are some of if not the most respected and loved guys in our military. These are the guys that come to the rescue when special operations needs help. I was talking to a couple guys from CAG and they were saying not even they could get through this training.
Special operators with a gift of Aviation who are doctors... I probably will never meet a PJ but they deserve a TON more respect in society. Plus theyre a respond team to technically save ANY unit... Man being a PJ would be amazing
Best porn staches in the business. Plus they use Glocks. Gotta love PJs for that.
Amen.
and they say the air force are just fly boys and sits around
Arizona Rabel this is just SOF buddy
.....we mostly were. I'm ok with that.
This is SOF
I keep telling people like 1% actually fly. But hey, what do I know
mr prodigy that isn’t necessarily true
Now that is half speed now imagine full speed n constant movement. A total symphony of orderd chaos.
That chopper gunner must be having a lot of fun.
excerpt from mission statement: "Pararescuemen also act as aircrew, gunners, and scanners on fixed and rotary wing aircraft while performing flight following duties."
:)
Not really. When, later you find out that vehicle you shot up had three children in it, all under 12 years old. Reality sits in.
My dad is a gunner
I love these cats, the epitome of 'warrior medics'. They save lives.
@Jesus Christ True, even better.
I enjoyed working with these guys in 2011. Very professinal and reliable.
thank you very much for showing what these guys can do. Every one of them are hero's in my book
I’m trying to become a PJ. Right now my job is Aircraft Structural Maintenance and I work on F-16s.
Thanks for your service man, 12 Yrd boyscout
@@schoolschool415 Thank you for supporting. Not a lot of people recognize the sacrifice nowadays.
@Tommy Goguen yeah, you probably wont believe this, but we had a substitute today and was a CID personnel guy and did 7 tours. Last mission he did was in D.C protecting SS. I thanked him for his service and told him I was in boyscout's.
IMO...PJs are among the top SOF guys out there.
FACT: PJs CCT and TACP of the 24th STS are undoubtedly, unarguably, the most elite Tier 1 operators in the world.
@@ryanschaff123 you're delusional... They're elite but Delta is the best in the world. And it isn't even close
@@picolascage5270 ^ The British SAS may think differently, but Delta is indeed the best in our Armed Forces (at least, imo). ;) FYI: Delta does get their recruits from PJs, CCT, Seals, and Recon, too. It isn't just all Army recruits.
Richard Storm lol - no they don’t.
Richard Storm almost all of their recruits come from ranger regiment and army sf. There are a few, very few from the other branches. Not seals tho. The have their own tier 1 team called DEVGRU
I saw the first minute of this video and immediately thought "that's so fucking badass."
I have been training on my free time for about 4 weeks now, and I want to meet with my Recruiting Officer and talk about becoming a Parajumper. Wish me luck!
cool story kid
LOL good luck one of the longest special forces course in the world
Don’t listen to these dickheads in the comments, you can do anything you want yes it’s a long pipeline but as long as you train hard and don’t quit you can do it
I hope you made your mark, man, Godspeed
These dudes are the pinnacle of special forces. Along with CCT’s. They just don’t get the credit they deserve.
Russ Goodban neither do most of them want it. They stay in the shadows, exactly where they’re meant to be. Wish the teams would go back to that.
You can tell they’re holding back. Id bet they’re showing maybe 40% of their capabilities in terms of night and quick engagement
I’m 19. Joined the Air Force about a week ago, did my oath and signed up to be a PJ. I’m in pretty good shape, and do cardio 3-4 times a week, and weight-lift 5-6 days a week. What should I really be focusing on? I do swim but not often. Wish me luck
Find out precisely what the PJ physical fitness test requirements are and make sure you can do it comfortably if you struggle then you're in trouble. It should be easy
Bro you’re living my dream man I’m 18 next month but I wanna get in pristine shape before enlisting so I’ll probs sign up when I’m 19 20
run and swim way more
how good are you at drowning tho?
Did you make it? I’m 19 and am going to test in may and may try to shoot to be a PJ or just go the easy way and go security forces
Over 12min of total badassery
Slow clap for the guy looking at his holster while he reholsters.

Awesome operators! Keep up the good work guys!
Great video that shows what all they do in training
M4's and glocks - the god tier combo
I've thought about going back active duty but into the Air Force, read articles that they're hurting for Special Operators and I wouldn't mind doing that
David Wilkins yeah I spoke to some recruiters and they were really pushing PJs hard
@@SplashIt34 wish I coulda joined. I'm 23 and had injuries when I was a teen, trying to fix them now but I know it's already too late. It's always been my dream to do search and rescue and to be none other than the best at that would be a life purpose.
@@asianboyyy117 nah 23 ain't that old bro lots of people enlist around that age especially ones who have just graduated college.
@@ramsho7898 I'm still tryna figure out my injuries.
@@asianboyyy117 O damn
All of your videos are so interesting and useful!
guess are incredible i was going threw SF training at Lackland an they were always running in shorts with gear all day or getting killed in the pool big respect!!!
MORE PJ VIDEOS!!!
Professional Badasses
Omg you guys do some exciting stuff.
We had some PJ on Tori Station Okinawa. Pure badasses, but are some of the coolest, down to earth guys you’ll ever talk too.
There definitely was a down to earthiness that these boys had....its as if they didnt buy into their own badassery like some of the other SOF guys in different branches...otherwise known as thinking your shit dont stink
Any other former flyers who miss that electronic hum in their headset when flying around?
....or the smell and taste of hydraulic fluid and burned jet fuel? They always said you should be worried if hydraulic fluid wasn't dripping from everywhere.
PUBG got the sounds wrong
The best America has to offer. God bless these men.
I love the PJs. They are great and awesome.
Great video
Try making the MARSOC (Marine, Special, Operations, Command) training video.
There are plenty of MARSOC videos on youtube!!! I found them...why can't you????
I don't think you quite understand how commas work...
Sweet I made it in the video! Best job I ever had!
Which segment of the video, timestamp?
Yeah, as somebody said below, a good video to show how supressors really work.
Just badass.
Really wish I would've been a PJ
Because they save lives in the war, P.J. are honorable.
PJ and CCT are Air Force bad asses!
This just shows the US Air Force isn’t the “chair force”
most of us actually sit around but these mutherfuckers.. they're certified in everything. Medical, free fall, pathfinder, jump school, air assault, a lot even have their dive badges. It's crazy all the shit that they have to qual in.
@@angelinodiablo5101 most of us don't not "sit around." This is a very small portion of the Air Force. Most people in the Air Force do not have desk jobs.
So many Fully semi Automatic assault rifles with long clips and scary features
Grow up its necessary in this world of evil an corrupt cuntrys an dictators who want to enslave people around the world. These men an women in ower armed service's the the bravest an most professional soliders of goodwill around the world. They do things most wont or cant do . An they do it with out complaining an with great sacrifice to thier families an own well being. God bless them
I think he was being sarcastic my guy
Training at it's best, the good old days
AMAZING VIDEO!
“So others may live
Nice
Love these guys
Great vid but I also dont feel like it does these guys justice they are truly badass
This is how freedom sounds like
American exceptionazism why you watching this video😂
That was interesting. From watching the lasers during the night fire, you could see who was going to pass and who wasn't. Some had consistent rise and fall to their point-of-aim and some were searching randomly. Granted, they may have just run across an obstacle course to get there, but they looked pretty chill to me. Also, does anybody out there shoot a pistol well with their finger over the trigger guard? Not saying it's wrong (these guys are PJs and I'm not) but I never saw anyone teach it.
Great video ❤🇺🇸
PJs, much respect. Semper Fi.
Ey! You're alright man, Aim High!
THEY GET GLOCKS AND RDS????????????????????????? This marine is Shook
There SOF?
NODS look badass! 💪🏼🇺🇸
Soldier Story made some ridiculously cool 1/6th scale figures of these pj troopers.
When Delta calls 911
4:25 why is JJ Watt there
There are only around 400 PJ’S In The Whole United States. They are all expert in search&rescue plus they are expert medics with top notch combat for close range and long range
Thank god for our military.
US : uses targets to practice
Russia : uses a human with an apple on top of his head to practice LOL
no wonder why many russians die in training lol
Leo Casi I know right lol. Russians think they’ll get any better by doing that but in reality it’s the same thing.
Isn't the same thing at all. You have ZERO pressure & need, yet you want to hit your target. The apple on someone else's head? You absolutely need to hit. Under pressure.
@Jesse Cab mate don't get cocky. You also got schooled by jungle men in vietnam and currrently getting the run around by the middle-eastern goat herders and contraband farmers
American exceptionazism We pulled out of Vietnam because there was no point in fighting 3rd world guerillas too cowardly to fight normally so they surprised us in the woods constantly, and they were brutal, they would purposely leave downed pilots so when pjs came they could pick them off as well. Our citizens began to have unrest about the war so we withdrew, it was far from done, but we listened to our people.

SEALs are good... but if youre in the way to someone that is in need. the PJs will rip through SEALs like... a harpoon through a seal.
.... what..? That just sounds stupid. And in the ludicrously unlikely event that that would ever happen, the SEALs would destroy them because PJ's aren't trained for that type of combat.
@@BlckCloud73 Easy on the Hollywood there fella.
Not Important The point is that PJs will overcome incredible opposing odds to save somebody. That’s all.
@@BlckCloud73 actually ParaRescue here are the US's top combat special forces units. they are trained in all circumstances like the seals. but instead of trying to have stealthy SOP. they are trained to rip through the front lines of enemy forces, pick up 150~300lbs of SEALs on their backs, and fight their way back out. they are a recovery focused special forces unit with the fighting skills better then the SEALs to get their jobs done. their job is to land HERE. go HERE. get THIS. and GET OUT. not. land HERE. try to get HERE. find SOMETHING. dispose of anything in the way. and then GET OUT.
ParaRescue is a simpler mindset. not designed for covert and intel gathering. they are there to push into enemy lines, and get out with who ever is stuck in those lines... by force if they must.
i agree. SEALs are good at their own operations. but SEALs arnt generally built to take on the enemy head first like ParaRescue is.
Of the roughly 200 Air Force Cross recipients, only 24 are enlisted rank, of which 12 are Pararescuemen.
They are trained in:
9 weeks of para rescue/Combat Rescue Officer Indoctrination Course
3 weeks of Army Airborn school
5.5 weeks of Airforce combat diver training
1 day of Navy Underwater egress training
2.5 weeks of airforce basic survival
5 weeks of army free fall and coordination and operations school
37 weeks of pararescue EMT-Paramedic training
24 weeks of USAF pararescue specialization course.
10 days of Advanced Pararescue operations course.
=87 weeks roughly
What do the SEALs get training in?
8 week Naval Recruit Training
8 week Naval Special Warfare Prep School
24 week Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training
5 week Parachute Jump School
26 week SEAL Qualification Training
6 month Professional Development - Individual Specialty Training
6 month Unit Level Training
6 month Squadron Integration Training
=83 weeks roughly
they are trained for different aspects. But pararescue is designed more around fighting in, and pulling out ASAP with their targets. because, you know. the SEALs need to call 911 sometimes.
@@thatsmyjam186 you got my point exactly.
The sound of those suppressors 😍👂
Love the sounds....
I'm afraid to say these guys are as hard core as navy seals
They rescue Navy SEALS. And IINM, the SEALS often have a couple PJs with them (The SEAL team killed in Afghanistan . . .)
2ManyJALS the SEALS have Special amphibious corpsmen among them. But from time to time they borrow medics from the PJ’s
Airforce special ops (pjs, cct, tacp) do all the same training like buds etc as seals, green berets and delta because they get attached to them so have to be up to the same standard. It’s the hardest selection process in the us military. 98% washout rate.
God bless USA

Health care was fantastic before Obama. Food is amazing. Culture is fantastic. No mass gun crisis, just stop watching CNN. Social security is a joke that never should have happened - put the same money into a mutual fund and you'd have millions even on a low income by retirement. Massive debt because of all the public programs you've mentioned - typical of a socialist country. Absolutely materialistic. Fake people in every country. Tons of fat people because our food is amazing.

better training than those Russian Spetsnaz that got blown away in Syria.
