Air Force Pararescue Jumpers — PJ

Pararescue jumpers insert well behind enemy lines in order to rescue lost personnel, typically pilots. Just a tick less cool than their combat controller brethren, simply because their main mission is to rescue, not to attack — they fall just outside the top 5. Nonetheless, they have to be ready to fight off hundreds of enemy fighters by means of clever guerrilla warfare, traps and specialized small unit tactics. Certainly they can't expect a prima donna pilot to adequately defend himself, so they're well trained and super aggressive.
