 is required to conduct a personnel recovery and the mission for the Marine Corps is called TRAP or tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel. The complexity of every TRAP differs in each mission as well as the challenges that come with it. We have to balance being combat effective in the AO as a stand-in force as well as making sure that our Marines get back home safely. With TRAP you are put on strip alert and then you go, so you have little time to break your dues, little time for rehearsals, so really what it requires is good small unit leaders and if you have good small unit leaders then the problem fixes itself. So the differences between CSAR combat search and rescue and TRAP are in the capabilities themselves. While in combat search and rescue focuses on an extended search with dedicated platforms the Marine Corps doesn't dedicate any personnel or platforms. The Marine Corps trains and designates but we do not dedicate. Every part and asset of the MAGTAP can conduct a TRAP. Today we flew in on a 60s provided by the Navy so it was a joint force deal. We landed into the LZ. We knew where our IP was located. Obviously within that one nautical mile we had a 10-digit grid. From there we pushed out, we provided our LZ security, moved our security up, isolated that IP, authenticated them, and then moved him back in Kazovak, in Manohun. I was satisfied with the way everyone performed. I think the small unit leaders got a rep of actually getting to make decisions on their level. TRAP being considered one of the hardest mission sets in the military is somewhat accurate to the point of what's at stake. We take pride that we can take care of our own or you're just getting those truths back to their original unit. I enjoy the fact that TRAP has a differing mission set each time you go out whether it's the enemy's set or where you're located or what your actual mission is for that specific TRAP because it makes you think on the fly, provides a challenge, and we all join the Marine Corps for a challenge.
