The ARRG was responsible for conducting search and rescue (SAR) operations to recover downed pilots and other personnel in hostile territory.One notable aircraft used by the ARRG during the Vietnam War was the HH-3E "Jolly Green Giant." The Jolly Green was a variant of the Sikorsky HH-3 helicopter and was specifically modified for combat search and rescue missions. It was designed to operate in adverse weather conditions and hostile environments, making it a crucial asset for the recovery of downed aircrew.The Jolly Green helicopters were equipped with a range of specialized equipment, including a hoist system for personnel recovery, a rescue winch, and additional fuel tanks for extended-range operations. The helicopters were also heavily armed to provide self-defense capabilities during SAR missions.The primary mission of the Jolly Green helicopters was to locate and recover downed aircrew members, whether they were pilots, aircrews, or other military personnel. These helicopters operated in coordination with other units, such as forward air controllers, who would direct them to the location of the downed personnel.During the Vietnam War, the Jolly Green helicopters and the ARRG were involved in numerous rescue missions, often operating under intense enemy fire and challenging conditions. Their efforts saved the lives of many downed aircrew members and contributed significantly to the morale and effectiveness of U.S. military operations.For any unsatisfactory reason, item can be returned within 30 days for full refund.
