The men of the 210th Rescue Squadron, based in Anchorage, Alaska, are highly trained for extreme rescues and recoveries in the wildest, most remote and hostile corners of the Globe. Whether it be ships adrift at sea, rock climbers stuck atop a 4,000 meter peak, or submariners sunk at unimaginable depths, these men are called to intervene.

They are PJs – Short for PARAJUMPERS. Tough and courageous, they are better trained than any military corps, but most important, they use their skills and techniques to save lives. Their motto is: “that others may live”. Gobi… Denali… Kodiak… These are the names of the legendary missions of these hero’s, to whom Parajumpers dedicate their jackets.
