Praising the efforts of United States Combat Search and Rescue teams in the recovery of two United States Air Force Airmen who ejected over Iran.

This resolution commends the United States Armed Forces and intelligence personnel for their heroic actions during Operation Epic Fury , an ongoing effort against the oppressive Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps regime. It specifically highlights the high-risk recovery of two American aviators whose F-15E Strike Eagle was interdicted over Iranian airspace, forcing them to eject into hostile territory. The resolution recognizes the extreme physical and mental endurance of the aviators, who successfully evaded Iranian-backed forces for nearly 48 hours in rugged mountainous terrain. The immediate rescue effort involved a whole-of-government approach , blending military and intelligence apparatuses to ensure the swift and safe recovery of both downed Airmen. Thousands of U.S. personnel, including special operators, intelligence specialists, and pilots, demonstrated individual heroism, embodying the value of "No Man Left Behind." This daring rescue reinforces the United States' unwavering commitment to recovering its personnel, regardless of environmental complexity or danger, and stands as a testament to the courage and readiness of the American warfighter.
