After Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina, four civilians were stranded and seriously injured in the mountains—one critically. Roads were gone, time was short, and local responders were grounded. Within 10 minutes of the call, Airmen from the 41st Expeditionary Rescue Squadron and 563d Personnel Recovery Task Force launched from Davis-Monthan AFB. Flying HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopters, they battled rugged terrain, found the victims, stabilized them, and airlifted them to safety. For these elite rescuers, “That Others May Live” isn’t just a motto—it’s a promise they keep every day.
