Under contract, ERI is responsible for teaching USCG Rescue Swimmers, known as Aviation Survival Technicians, survival skills that need to be passed on to all USCG aircrews. Also, with the increased demand on USCG assets to participate in inland Search and Rescue, a Rescue Swimmer could easliy find him or herself spending several hours, or even an overnight, surviving in extremely hot or cold conditions. ERI runs cold weather courses in the Olympics and desert training near El Paso, TX.In addition to teaching survival skills, this course stresses the techniques of teaching these skills to fellow aircrews.
