Pararescuemen, also known as PJs (Pararescue Jumpers), are United States
Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Air Combat Command
(ACC) operatives tasked with recovery and medical treatment of personnel
in humanitarian and combat environments. These special operations units
are also used to support NASA missions and have been used to recover
astronauts after water landings. They are attached to other SOF teams
from all branches to conduct other operations as appropriate. Of the 22
enlisted Air Force Cross recipients, 12 are Pararescuemen. They wear the
maroon beret as a symbol of their elite status, and to symbolize the
blood shed by past PJs, as well as the blood current PJs are willing to
shed to save lives. Part of the little-known Air Force Special Tactics
community[2] and long an enlisted preserve, the Pararescue service began
commissioning Combat Rescue Officers early in the 21st century.
