<p>In 2014, the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF) became the Executive Agent Office of Primary Responsibility (EA OPR) for Personnel Recovery (PR) for the Norwegian Armed Forces. This capstone project is sponsored by the commander RNoAF PR and SERE School to support the development of a whole-of-department approach to PR by answering this question: How can we design a Personnel Recovery (PR) system for the Norwegian Armed Forces that enables Norwegian commanders and staffs, forces and isolated personnel to collaborate and operate in a combined joint PR mission environment? This capstone project explores PR for the Norwegian Armed Forces through an inquiry of design and design thinking. As an initiation of the design process, the capstone begins the discovery phase with an examination of archival records centered on PR from WWII to the present and in-depth discussions with national and international PR subject-matter experts. This capstone describes the results from the design thinking process, its prototypes, and recommendations to the RNoAF. In brief, the capstone project recommends that the Norwegian Armed Forces, with the RNoAF as the EA OPR for PR, develop a network organization that coordinates the main actors in the PR system into well-functioning communities of practice.
