NASAR (National Association for Search And Rescue) has a committee
developing Mounted Search And Rescue (MSAR) standards. MSAR riders around the
world are invited to join the "NASAR MSAR Standards" Group online to provide
input to the NASAR MSAR Standards Task Force. (For more information on NASAR,
visit www.nasar.org ) This is not a
discussion forum, but is designed to function as an online Opinion Poll through
member votes. This is a great opportunity for all those who are active in
Mounted SAR to contribute to MSAR standards developed through NASAR. You do not
need to be a member of NASAR to participate, but you need to be signed up as a
Group member to share your opinion with the committee.
Please share this invitation with others active in MSAR. MSAR personnel can
join the Group and express opinions on http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/NASAR-MSAR
New Opinion Polls have just been posted regarding practical testing
for MSAR. You can express your opinion online in the VOTE
section.
As a brief summary, we are creating core MSAR standards that are intended to
address fundamental requirements for all MSAR, suitable for any region. The core MSAR standards
will be in three levels, including an entry level of MSAR III. NASAR's
SARTECH II status is a prerequisite for MSAR II, the corresponding field
level. The standards are designed so additional areas
of MSAR certification can be added, as needed, after MSAR II is attained. For
example, an individual or team might choose to add training specific to
Wilderness MSAR.
While the NASAR MSAR Task Force has representatives from around the country,
we also seek direct input from subject matter experts, and
we look forward to getting input from all MSAR riders. With your help, we
can create MSAR Standards that are appropriate for all.
