Rescue operation cancelled after death of ill crew member
A multi-agency rescue operation to help a seriously ill crew member of the "Green Ridge" in the Pacific Ocean was cancelled in the morning of Aug 19, 2015, after the man was declared deceased. On Aug 18 at 9:50 a.m., the 11th Coast Guard District Command Center received a report of a sick man aboard the "Green Ridge". The command center requested assistance from the California Air National Guard who dispatched a team of four Guardian Angel pararescuemen to the Green Ridge aboard an Air Force MC-130P Combat Shadow aircraft. The pararescue team jumped into the ocean, boarded the ship and provided medical aid to the man. A Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento C-130 aircraft supported the operation by delivering 10 units of blood from Travis Air Force Base to the 129th Rescue Crew at Moffett Air Field before the team departed to the Green Ridge. The rescue center also contacted the U.S. Navy’s 3rd Fleet to assist, who diverted a Navy ship to rendezvous with the "Green Ridge". The Navy ship's doctor declared the patient deceased on Aug 19 at approximately 6:15 a.m. All rescue units have been released from the case. The Air National Guard team will be taken aboard the Navy ship.
