USAF Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) are airmen specialized in rescuing and recovering downed pilots in combat zones. As qualified medics, they also jump in the hot zones to provide medical assistances to troops. Because of those kinds of missions, they had requirements for load bearing vest (LBV) that could carry a lot of ammo, medical equipment, and various of rescue tools. To fill in this requirement, Eagle Industries created a specialized LBV, the Air Rescue Vest.

The vest is displayed with a DCU that came from a PJ. The veteran removed the name tape for privacy, however, the rest of patches are intact. You can see that he was Senior Master Sergeant and has badges to denote his qualifications: Master Aircrew Wings (Enlisted), Master Parachutist Wings, and Scuba.
