Search and Rescue (SAR) operations in the United States involve various responsibilities across multiple agencies. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) manages navigable waterways, while local law enforcement or emergency management handles localized land searches. For missing aircraft or distress beacon searches within a single state, a state-designated representative, often from the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) or sheriff's aviation division, takes charge. When searches extend across state lines, the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) assumes federal jurisdiction to coordinate efforts effectively.
