This supplement does not apply to Air National Guard (ANG) units or Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). AFDW A3/5 must approve any supplement to this publication. Refer recommended changes and questions about this publication to the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) using the AF IMT 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication; route AF IMT 847s from the field through 1 HS/DOV to 316 OG/OGV. Ensure that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication/supplement are maintained in accordance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN 37-123), Management of Records, and disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) located at https://afrims.amc.af.mil. 1. General. Aircrews will use those briefings applicable to their unit/mission. The aircrew briefing will be accomplished for all flights. Specialized briefings will be accomplished prior to accomplishing the associated maneuver or mission. MAJCOMs will determine the specialized briefings, checklists and miscellaneous pages to be carried. 2. Supplements and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Supplemented information is additional steps or more restricted guidance and will be published as a MAJCOM supplement. SOPs are developed at the unit level to describe standards for accomplishing steps in this checklist. Forward SOPs to parent MAJCOM through Stan/Eval channels for approval and implementation.

SAR OSC CHECKLIST/IN-FLIGHT REFERENCE GUIDE

This checklist is a guide to aircraft commanders and crews for use when a search requires multiple aircraft or ground assets. The OSC should be the most capable asset, either ground or air, which can best provide SAR coordination and oversight. If an aircrew has assumed OSC duties, accomplish the following steps as required by the situation. 1. 2. Fly The Aircraft First! Dont Get Low And Slow. Notify Appropriate Agencies (Local Law Enforcement, AFRCC, Etc.) Of Search Operation, Render Aid As Appropriate, Request Aid If Necessary (Relay Messages Through ATC/ Heli Ops If Necessary) Establish OSC: On Entering Area Of Operations (When Necessary) Brief Search Assets As Necessary 3.1. 3.2. 5.
