RESCO Training
Combat Search and Rescue (RESCO in French) training by air commandos of the unit EH 1/67 "Pyrénées" on helicopters EC-725 Caracal and SA-330 Puma.
In reality, these missions are often executed by night and without radio communication. The three masters words of a RESCO mission are : rapidity / discretion / firepower. During a RESCO, commandos are supported by combat helicopters with 30mm canons and rockets, and fighters to cover the aerial zone. Combat Search and Rescue units reassure pilots, and a successfully mission has a major political impact against the enemy.

Just a little comment (if you don't mind):
Quote:

Actually in France the combat helicopter you are talking about is still the Gazelle, fitted with a 20mm gun (not 30mm, which will be the Tiger's).
;-)
Mais une bien sympathique vidéo en tout cas!
Salut cher cousin d'Amérique. Je pensais au Tigre HAP avec canon 30mm, qui est déjà en utilisation depuis juin 2007 au 5ème RHC à Pau pour les RESCOs. Mais en effect, je vous rejoins : l'appui-feu se faisait habituellement avec des Gazelles "Canon" 20mm et HOT.
I never mind with constructive remarks ;-)

Does somebody knows the titles of the songs?
Hello Michael, I don't know the titles in this video. But i would like to know them too.
Le mois de mars 1957 vit la fusion de la SNCASE (SE comme l'Alouette II SE 3130) avec la SNCASO, devenant Sud-Aviation (SA) qui, en 1970 se nomma SNIAS, puis Aerospatiale (AS comme le Cougar AS 532).
25 ans d'ALAT, ça laisse des traces...
not AS 330 but SA 330. SA means "sud-aviation", the former name of the company before to be Aérospatiale (AS) and now Eurocopter (EC).
Hey Mikaddo, tu trouves pas que tu chipotes un peu là? ...Tout de même entre frères d'arme! ;-)
Plus sérieusement, tu m'apprends un truc : J'ai toujours pensé que c'était Aérospatiale le précurseur du Puma. J'ai vérifié, et en effet c'est bien SA. Bon bref l'hélico c'est définitivement pas mon domaine...
Amicalement.
The name of EC-725 in RESCO version is caracal ;-)
On video we see in first a caracal and in the second partie a puma.
You are right, of course. Thanks to have corrected my mistakes about helicopters references ;)
