Aeromedical rescue is a specialty that aims to rescue people who need emergency care. This work aims to present an approach to the subject, in terms of the functions of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), which is linked to most aeromedical rescue operations. Context, FAB search and rescue teams promote greater accuracy in locating victims, aircraft and accident vessels. In addition, the communications and coordinates guaranteed by air traffic controllers promote greater safety and traffic flow. From this perspective, this study sought to highlight and discuss the relationship between aeromedical rescue and the Air Force.
