The 57th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (57th ARRS) was a United States Air Force unit established in the 1950s. Primarily tasked with search and rescue operations, the squadron played a significant role during the Cold War, particularly with missions based out of Keflavik Air Base, Iceland. The 57th ARRS operated various aircraft including the HH-3E "Jolly Green Giant" helicopters and HC-130 aircraft, providing vital support for downed aircrews and other emergencies in the North Atlantic region. The squadron was inactivated in the 1990s as part of post-Cold War realignments within the Air Force.
