United States Air Force (USAF) rescue forces are deployed worldwide, putting their lives at risk to rescue and save others. When not deployed, they are consistently training to ensure readiness for stressful combat and hazardous environments, as well as peacetime operations.

​

Since September 11, 2001, USAF rescue forces have been engaged in a relentless deployment cycle, supporting missions across the globe in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Africa. Alongside these operations, they must uphold a rigorous training regimen to sharpen their skills for real-world combat and peacetimscenarios and prepare the next generation of warriors for combat. The combination of frequent deployments and intensive training presents a constant challenge for airmen at all levels. Yet, despite the pressures of combat operations and the demands of their mission, our rescue warriors consistently save lives and surpass expectations time and again.

​

TOMLF Warfighter Support provides funds for rescue unit family day outings designed to build unit camaraderie and mission focus. TOMLF also sponsors the annual Air Rescue Association Awards Gala and Rescue Squadron of the Year Award, aiming to recognize our warfighters, foster a sense of community and support, and celebrate the rescue community's mission heritage and accomplishments.

​

TOMLF Warfighter Support Program focuses on three (3) key efforts directly impacting USAF rescue mission effectiveness:

​

1. Direct support to deployed personnel.

2. Financial assistance to members and families experiencing hardship.

3. Squadron morale support.
