RESCUE AND IN-WATER RESUSCITATION

**Please note this is placed as an appendix based on standard international recommendations. This does not take the place of standard unit military training.**

GOALS

    1. Reach with an object from the safety of the shore or ship.
    2. Throw an object like a rope or flotation devices (this may help the victim stay afloat or the search and rescue team locate the victim.)
    3. Row (or paddle) a smaller craft to the victim if they are too far from shore to reach or have a floatation device thrown. The rescuer should ideally stay out of the water.
    4. Tow them into shore or away from danger in the water (i.e. swift water rescue).
    5. Go into the water (as a last resort) to rescue the victim if this is within the rescuer’s skill set.
