Combat search and rescue is when people go out to rescue someone who is in trouble during a war or battle. Sometimes, soldiers get hurt or lost or their airplane crashes and needs help.
People who do combat search and rescue are really brave and have special training to help people in dangerous situations. They might be pilots, doctors, nurses or other kinds of experts. They wear special gear to protect themselves and have special tools to help them rescue people.
First, they try to find where the person who needs help is. They use special equipment, like radios and GPS, to find them. Once they find them, they might fly a helicopter or a plane and they will use ropes and harnesses to bring the person up and put them inside the aircraft.
They might also bring medical help with them to take care of the injured person. Once the person is safe, they fly them back to a hospital or somewhere safe where they can get the help they need.
Combat search and rescue is very important because it helps save lives and take care of people who have been hurt or lost during war.
