The Air Force PJâs are known as Pararescuemen with the PJ standing for Pararescue Jumpers. These guys are part of the Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). Their main job is the recovery and medical treatment of personnel in hostile environments. Their motto is âSo that others may liveâ.
A little known fact about PJs are their officersâthey were for years an all-enlisted force, until recently with the establishment of the Combat Rescue Officer. Over half of all Air Force Cross recipients are Pararescuemen. There are a number of PJ units in various locations (including the Alaska National Guard, who conduct more cold weather civilian rescues annually than they ever do CSAR deployed, which is why they need specialized gear). PJs wear maroon berets.
