Training events will include deploying U.S. and Ecuadorian pararescuemen in
land and sea situations, low-level techniques, day and night airdrops, and
rescue medical techniques. U.S. Air Force personnel involved are from the 71st
Rescue Squadron stationed at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. They will return
to Florida at the conclusion of the training.
