Hentesoperasjon

Hentesoperasjon is a Norwegian term that translates to "retrieval operation" or "recovery operation." It is commonly used in the context of emergency services and law enforcement to describe the process of safely retrieving individuals from dangerous or inaccessible situations. This can include scenarios such as mountain rescues, water rescues, or extracting individuals from collapsed structures or hazardous environments.

The primary goal of a hentesoperasjon is to ensure the safety and well-being of the person being rescued, as well as the safety of the rescue personnel involved. These operations often require specialized equipment and highly trained teams, including paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and sometimes military personnel, depending on the complexity and nature of the incident.

Hentesoperasjon can also refer to the recovery of deceased individuals from difficult locations, such as remote wilderness areas or accident sites. The process in such cases emphasizes respect for the deceased and adherence to legal and forensic procedures. The term underscores the systematic and organized approach taken to bring individuals, whether alive or deceased, back to a place of safety and care.
