EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a crucial moment during the Submarine Parachute Assistance Group (SPAG) insertion on April 12,2007. The image showcases the highly skilled SPAG team deploying by aircraft and swiftly setting up a floating casualty reception center. As they spring into action, they begin treating simulated casualties who are escaping from a distressed submarine. The SPAG is renowned for their extensive training in long-range insertions by Hercules aircraft to provide aid to submariners facing perilous situations. However, during Exercise Pacific Reach 07, this particular insertion was simulated using helicopters from the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Base West. Exercise Pacific Reach is an essential triennial event that focuses on fostering regional cooperation in submarine rescue operations while demonstrating the interoperability of submarine rescue and diving techniques within the Asia-Pacific region. This remarkable photograph not only highlights the bravery and expertise of the SPAG team but also serves as a testament to their commitment towards promoting safety and collaboration among naval forces. It encapsulates both the intensity of military exercises and the importance of international partnerships in ensuring effective submarine rescue missions. Photographed by LA (Phot) Luis Holden, this image has been recognized as part of various prestigious competitions such as Peregrine Trophy 2008 and Royal Navy Photographic Competition.
