This was called a BRIGHT LIGHT mission. It was usually undertaken by 6-man SOG teams (if the pilot was down in Laos/Cambodia) or LRRPs if in country. If other assets were available and could get the job done faster, they were of course employed.
If the situation called for it, a SOG would go 'heavy' or double size (12 men). Not sure how Pararescue assets were employed. SOG was primarily Army personnel, but I would guess AF PJs would be part of a heavy SOG team.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Now that was the story my grandfather told,
As he sat by the fire all withered and old.
"Remember," said he, "that the Irish fight well,
But the Russian artillery's hotter than Hell." - The Kerry Recruit
