Chief Master Sergeant Wayne Fisk (born April 6, 1945) is a retired United States Air Force pararescueman. He was involved in Operation Ivory Coast, the raid on the Son Tay prisoner of war camp, and later the rescue of the crew of the SS Mayagüez.[1] When the Mayagüez was hijacked by Cambodian Communist forces in May 1975, Fisk was a member of the assault force that successfully recovered the ship and the entrapped United States Marines. For his actions, he was awarded his second Silver Star.
Concluding the Mayagüez mission, Fisk was recognized as the last American serviceman to engage Communist forces in ground combat in Southeast Asia.[citation needed] In 1979, he was the first Air Force enlisted recipient of the US Jaycees Ten Outstanding Young Men of America. In 1986, he became the first director of the Air Force Enlisted Heritage Hall on Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex.
