On 24OCT2019, the South Bend Swift Water Rescue Team joined National Guard forces at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, as a way to increase the number of people trained for swift water rescues.

Mount Whitney Death Trap, SAR Money Pit

It might look like Afghanistan, but it’s not.

Photo via Inyo County SAR, 25AUG2019.

On 25AUG2019 near Iceberg Lake, California, the National Guard’s Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 126th Aviation Regiment, flew-in Inyo County SAR (Search And Rescue) crews, about 13-thousand-8-hundred feet up Mount Whitney, to rescue a wounded female hiker. She was injured when a boulder cut loose and wedged her in a crevice.

Photo via Inyo County SAR, 25AUG2019.

Photo via Inyo County SAR, 25AUG2019.

The Inyo County SAR crew had to hike up to where the hiker was, just 7-hundred feet short of the 14-thousand-505 feet (4421 meter) peak, because the CH-47F helicopter couldn’t fit in-between a crevasse: “We attempted to hoist her out, but we didn’t have the rotor clearance the first time. We were down to about ten feet between the blades and the granite.”: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Paul Mantiply

Photo via Inyo County SAR, 25AUG2019.

The hiker was delivered to medical personnel at Bishop Airport, no word on her condition.

SAR ops are becoming so common place, across the U.S., and most SAR ops are paid for by taxpayers: “The United States Coast Guard is the leader in SAR operations, coming to the assistance of an average of 114 people per day at a total cost of $680 million annually…… It does not include man hours or money tied to the training of the personnel.

The National Park Service (NPS) is another agency heavily involved in SAR operations. In 2007, the NPS logged almost 3,600 incidents of search and rescue, 136 of which resulted in fatalities. This resulted in almost $5 million in associated expenses.

Other SAR missions around the Unites States are carried out by local sheriff’s offices, which are typically a mix of county employees working in concert with a staff of unpaid volunteers.”

In August 2018, mountaineering news outlet Outside declared Mount Whitney to be an “Overcrowded Catastrophe”, the author blames “Summit fever, a lack of mountaineering skills, and the allure of social media”, as well as weather conditions.

But Mount Whitney has a long history of injuries and deaths:

Dorian: How to evacuate thousands of U.S. Marines

Image

On 03SEP2019, the threat of Hurricane Dorian forced Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, to start evacuating basic trainees.

Their new temp-home will be Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Georgia.

The trainees packed their rucks, and were handed a box of rations, and told to “Get on the bus!”

  Hundreds of contracted tour buses rolled in to take them to Georgia.

It’s actually easy to evac thousands of military personnel, they’re under orders, and the food and transportation are provided.  Realize how hard it is to get millions of silly-vilians to evacuate, without providing taxpayer funded food and transportation, or a place to go-to, before-hand.

I don’t know if this guy is yawning or yelling, but I’m sure there was a lot of hurry-up-and-wait.

Airborne Hurricane Hunters, when did it all start?

Video

The first hurricane (typhoon) hunter was a pilot flying a Second World War T-6 Texan through the eye of a hurricane, on a dare!  Realizing that flying through a hurricane was doable, the U.S. Air Force set upon a long journey of modifying aircraft to collect weather data about hurricanes.

The first data collected, in 1944 by B-25 bombers (WB-25 Army Hurricane Reconnaissance Unit), is credited with saving hundreds of lives.  Prior to the development of airborne hurricane hunters, thousands of people in the United States died as a result of hurricanes, but after the use of flying weather trackers the average death toll dropped significantly.

Painting by Thomas Wojahn of a WB-50 of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, Falcon Alpha Mission-1957.

Perhaps the name The Hurricane Hunters came from the the title of a book first published in 1955 about the U.S. military’s obsession with tracking hurricanes. Download your free copy here.

But it not just lives that are saved with the creation of airborne hurricane hunters, in this 2018 video report about the purpose of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi) it’s revealed that mass evacuations of the public cost one-million USD per mile of coastline!  Taxpayer costs can be reduced by providing accurate weather data to allow for more timely evacuation orders:

“We started out just wanting to find the animals in Doha, Qatar’s capital, and see what was going on with rescues.”-Staff Sergeant Lia Cater, New Jersey National Guard, who helps rescue strays in her hometown of Queens, New York

“We took 100 pounds of dog food and 50 pounds of cat food. The shelter’s staff was overwhelmed to see us. They had never had such a large group come out all at once and volunteer.”-Staff Sergeant Lia Cater, New Jersey National Guard, who helps rescue strays in her hometown of Queens, New York

“They primarily need people to come out and walk dogs, help the dogs exercise, and give the animals some personal attention.”-Staff Sergeant Lia Cater, New Jersey National Guard, who helps rescue strays in her hometown of Queens, New York

“This program gives something for everyone to look forward to. It is also good for relations between the U.S. and Qatar.”-Sergeant Jimmy Simmeron, New Jersey National Guard

“We are going to have to stop being the policemen of the world.”-Donald Trump, August 2015 interview with Hugh Hewitt
