Mounted search and rescue

[T'mi Fi <tfinkle@erols.com>]

Yes, your point does hold, but so does mine.  Both of her MSAR books do 
give reference to some of the best Mounted Search and Rescue Teams (not 
mounted patrol teams) that were in operation at the time (and who are 
still an active MSAR resource), which was the point that I was making. 
I simply did not view the original post as giving proper credit to the 
valuable MSAR information that the books do provide.  

I do agree that Mounted Patrols and Mounted Parade Units need to have a 
better understanding of what MSAR really involves before they hang the 
MSAR Banner on their website.
