Rescue Coordination Center
34
Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC) in the United
States are operated by the Coast Guard and the
Air Force. Each service takes a slightly
different approach.
35
The U.S. Coast Guard not only coordinates, but
usually conducts maritime SAR missions. Coast
Guard RCCs are set up to cover specific
geographic areas and act as command and
coordination centers. The geographic areas of
responsibility are divided among nine Coast Guard
District commands and two Rescue Sub-Centers
(RSC).

When TWA Flight 800 plunged into the ocean just
15 minutes out of John F. Kennedy International
Airport, the USCGC Juniper, the first of a new
generation of high-tech Coast Guard cutters, took
up a position at the crash site and coordinated
the early stages of the search-and-recovery
effort.
The search patterns themselves were generated by
computer technology at the Coast Guard Command
Center in Boston when it began overseeing formal
recovery efforts. A PC-based program called the
Geographic Display Operations Computer allowed
the staff to plot detailed patterns that left no
area uncovered and then print out the information
and fax it to the vessels. "What would take two
to four hours using paper charts and
manual forms, I can now do in 15 minutes on the
computer,'' said Lt. Charles Fosse, a command
center controller. "We are able to send assets to
the scene in much less time with more accurate
information.''
