I am reading more stories about SAR missions in response to personal
locator beacons (PLBs). PLBs provide (1) precise coordinates of the
person(s) in distress, and (2) a radio beacon. Both are navigational
aids, but a rapid response may require sharp navigational skills on
the part of SAR responders. So, what is your unit doing to train
for this type of callout?
