Personnel recovery is the sum of military, civil, and political efforts to obtain the release or recovery of personnel from uncertain or hostile environments and denied areas whether they are captured, missing, or isolated. It includes, but is not limited to theater search and rescue; Combat Search & Rescue (CSAR), Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE), Evasion and Recovery; and the coordination of negotiated as well as forcible recovery options. Personnel Recovery may occur through military action, action by non-governmental organizations, other USG-approved action, and diplomatic initiatives, or through any of those options. Information papers should describe the system that is or could be of value to the recovery function, its capabilities, and potential for improving personnel recovery capabilities.
