SAR

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

Acronym for Search and Rescue. Raptors are used for SAR operations because of sufficient room for medics and life-support equipment.

Galactica rarely has opportunity for SAR operations to retrieve pilots after combat with Cylon forces in the Re-imagined Series, as they must retreat when the civilian Fleet retreats, forced to leave any surviving Viper pilots to die once their oxygen runs out, or worse, to the mercy of the Cylons.
