3 Phases of SAR
Definition
An UNCERTAINTY phase exists when there is knowledge of a situation that may
need to be monitored, or to have more information gathered, but that does not
require moving resources.
b. An ALERT phase exists when a craft or person is experiencing some difficulty and may need assistance, but is not in immediate danger or in need of immediate response. Apprehension is usually associated with the ALERT phase.
c. The DISTRESS phase exists when grave or imminent danger requiring immediate response to the distress scene threatens a craft or person.

Coxswain Leaving the Boat
Definition
Generally, the coxswain is not permitted to leave the boat during any operation. However, when a situation exists onboard the distressed vessel that only the coxswain is capable of alleviating, and the coxswain can ensure the safety of the unit boat, it may be permissible. The coxswain, in consultation with the OIC or XPO, should make the decision.
Term
Coxn Authority
Definition

The coxswain’s authority and responsibility exist only when the boat is engaged on a specific sortie or missions(s).
Term
Who can relieve the Coxn
Definition
1. The coxswain’s CO, OIC, XO, or XPO
2. A senior officer at the scene of distress, emergency or other abnormal situation who exercises authority under the provisions of Article 5-1-4, whether or not other units are involved.”
Term
Coxn Leave the boat 2
Definition
1. in the coxswain’s judgment, and after careful consideration of the remaining crewmember’s experience, the operational benefits clearly outweigh the risk of leaving the boat without a qualified coxswain, and
2. when the time permits, every effort is made by the coxswain to receive the concurrence of their operational commander.”

probability vs possibility
Definition
The probability of saving human life warrants a maximum effort. when no suitable alternative exists and the mission has a reasonable chance of success, the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat is acceptable, even though such damage or abuse may render the boat unrecoverable.

the possibility of saving human life or the probability of preventing or relieving intense pain or suffering warrants the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat if recovering the boat can reasonably be expected.
