The mission of the 943d Rescue Group is to provide leadership, management, policy formulation, planning, and standardization for operations, training and support of the Air Force Reserve Command's rescue assets, consisting of 3 squadrons, 3 flights and 1 geographically separated unit. The Group is equipped with 6 HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters to support worldwide combat rescue operations.

As an Air Force Reserve Command unit, the 943 RQG is currently under the control of the 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida and is the only Reserve rescue unit in the Southwestern United States. Upon mobilization, the 943 RQG would come under the control of Air Combat Command.

[edit] History

The 943d Rescue Group was officially reactivated in the Air Force Reserve on 12 February 2005, at D-M. The group inherited an illustrious lineage beginning in 1962 with the establishment of the 943d Airlift Group, originally a troop carrier group, and has gone through many activations, re-designations and periods of inactivation since its inception.
