This group operates under the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC).

• A. Civil Air Patrol
• B. USCG Aux
• C. Local Police
• D. OGAs

Answer: (A)

AFRCC coordinates federal search and rescue efforts and relies on a civilian partner that provides ready air assets and trained volunteers. The Civil Air Patrol is the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, and it routinely flies missions and supplies aircrews, aircraft, and communications in support of AFRCC-directed SAR operations. That formal arrangement is why it operates under AFRCC. The Coast Guard Auxiliary supports the U.S. Coast Guard, not AFRCC; local police operate within their own jurisdictions; OGAs is a generic term and does not describe a formal AFRCC partner. So, Civil Air Patrol is the group that works under AFRCC.
