The CV-22 “Osprey” and the Impact on Air Force Combat Search and Rescue

This paper answers the following question: How will the CV-22's unique qualities advance the state of the art of Air Force CSAR? Conducting the CSAR mission with the CV-22 will eradicate current mission deficiencies and enhance execution through advances in Combat Search and Rescue Task Force and command and control doctrine. In addition to evolving current doctrine to enhance CSAR, the CV-22 will lead to new CSAR capabilities and doctrine. Finally, the CV-22 will enhance two Air Force core competencies: global attack and rapid global mobility.
