The Cyprus Joint Rescue Coordination Center or JRCC Larnaca (Greek: ) is an independent agency of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Cyprus and its primary mission is to organize the Cyprus Republic Search and Rescue (SAR) system, to co-ordinate, to control and direct SAR operations in the region that the Cyprus JRCC is responsible for (which coincides with the Nicosia FIR), so that people, whose lives are at risk as a result of aviation or maritime accidents, can be located and rescued in the least amount of time.〔http://www.mod.gov.cy/mod/cjrcc.nsf/cjrcc01_en/cjrcc01_en?OpenDocument〕 This is achieved by coordinating all the different agencies involved such as the Cyprus Police Aviation Unit, the Cyprus Police Port and Marine Police, the Cyprus National Guard Naval Command, the Cyprus National Guard Air Force Command, the Cyprus Civil Defence and other secondary Units,〔http://www.mod.gov.cy/mod/cjrcc.nsf/cjrcc07_en/cjrcc07_en?OpenDocument〕 acting as a communications agent between them, so that they do not conduct overlapping searches and waste time by searching areas already searched by other units and in general help all the different units operate as a single larger in numbers unit, eliminating any other problems that might occur when many different units operate without any communications between them. It reports directly to the operational control of the Minister of Defence〔http://www.mod.gov.cy/mod/cjrcc.nsf/cjrcc02_en/cjrcc02_en?OpenDocument〕 and it is staffed by qualified personnel of the Cyprus National Guard, mainly from the branches of the Navy and the Air Force. All logistic and technical support is the responsibility of the Ministry of Communications & Works. JRCC is located in the city of Larnaca near the port, on the 11th floor of the "Irida No.3" building.

On March 1, 2002 by decision of the Ministry Cabinet the JRCC undertook formally the responsibility for organizing, coordinating and monitoring, search and rescue operations, in the region that the Republic of Cyprus is responsible for. The JRCC functioned as such until the 26th of July, 2010. Following the relevant opinion of Attorney General for the provisions of Law 5 (III) / 1994 (on Research - Rescue Ratification Act) JRCC reports directly to the Minister of Defence and operates as an independent agency of the Ministry of Defence.〔http://www.mod.gov.cy/mod/cjrcc.nsf/cjrcc06_en/cjrcc06_en?OpenDocument〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cyprus Joint Rescue Coordination Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
