Mounted search and rescue

[D Statler <dorene1001@yahoo.com>]

We are a fairly new MSAR group. I have some questions that I'm hoping will 
get some answers to guide us in organizing our group.
   
    What type of training do you feel is most important for YOUR group? 
   
  For MSAR units that work closely with your county sheriff, how do they 
utilize your group most often? 
    
    Do you use any special software to keep track of members / horses / 
training?
   
  I would also like to get started on SOP and SOG's. Is there a web resource 
that will get me started?
   
  Thanks in advanced for any help and suggestions.

Welcome to MSAR-Riders, Dorene.  You might tell us where you are (your
county, state, or whatever is appropriate);  that can help us help you,
and also help you recruit more highly qualified new members.

Send Irv Lichtenstein your mailing address so he can mail you a CD full
of documents gathered from other MSAR units.  Also see the MSAR home
page, http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/, for some links.  Finally, look at
the websites of MSAR units in your state, or of a kind similar to what
you expect yours to be.  Many have put their documents on the web.  A
few state SAR associations and agencies having jurisdiction (AHJ) also
have MSAR-relevant documents on the web.  For links to MSAR units and
other state-by-state resources, see the MSAR units web page directory,
http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/units/.
