Your first sentence is what drives me batty! Frequently here the hasty team is an ATV team!!! They destroy any clues on the trail, travel too fast to spot most off trail clues, and are too loud (and complicated with the addition of helmets) to hear any auditory clues! I am hoping that eventually those in charge will realize the fallacy of sending motorized anythings out as a hasty team. Now mountain bikes make some sense but not ATVs!!!

It is also necessary to verify the initial data to avoid trampling clues,
going too fast into all out mode, and make sure you know who you are looking
for. This is not always done before deploying a hasty team leading to false
starts. Several papers have been written on the early stage of search
missions, generally describing the PLOPS mode usually encountered.
