           New units FEB 68 :

            The largest single task faced by Pac ARRC during the first quarter 1968 was the establishment of rescue operations in Korea .
            Before the Pueblo incident, Search and rescue (SAR) forces were limited to two HH-43B helicopters at Pac ARRC Det.9, Osan AB.

            Through extensive planning and coordination, forces soon were up to ten HH-43Bs and three HU-16s.

            The control structure changed from the previous detachment to a provisional squadron with four detachments in addition to Det.9

            directly under Hq Pac ARRC. The new squadron is the 1646th Provisional Squadron headquartered at Osan AB.
             In addition to the two HH-43Bs there under Det.9, two HU-16s were attached to Hq 1646th.
             Each of the other four detachments under the 1646th are LBRs with two HH-43Bs each.

             These include :
                 Det. Provisional 1 at Kunsan AB, Korea
                 Det. Provisional 2 at Taegu AB, Korea
                 Det. Provisional 3 at Suwon AB, Korea
                 Det. Provisional 4 at Kwang Ju AB, Korea

             On 08 AUG 68 the Korean Provisional units became PCS detachments of Pacific ARRC ; the 1646th Provisional Squadron (ARRS) was deactivated.

              Units became PARRC, DET.4 , 5 , 10 and 11
