Mounted search and rescue

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

We had a wonderful (joint) MSAR training weekend with the Iceland Search and Rescue (ICE-SAR) team members! It was lovely riding weather with the scent of Russian Olive blooms filling the air. Saturday began with the Welcoming Ceremony, and from horseback Larry (T-10) and Joyce (T-24) presented the flags of Iceland and the USA (with music playing of each Country's National Anthem) to the team leaders of both countries. The Saturday night campfire SAR Chat included a serenade by a pack of coyotes that were howling at the full moon.

Press Release: TrotSAR Mounted Search and Rescue Team host an International Joint Training Exercise:

 

Six Icelandic Search and Rescue (SAR) responders will train with the (USA) TrotSAR Mounted Search and Rescue (MSAR) Team Inc. (www.trotsar.org). The two-day MSAR training event will take place in Broad Run, Virginia on April 7th and 8th, 2012. The TrotSAR Mounted team is a nationally recognized MSAR team due to their highly trained team members and focus on providing volunteer SAR services (since 1992).

The visit will also provide opportunities for the Icelanders to attend meetings with other MD/VA SAR (at the local, state and Federal level) teams and agencies Monday through Thursday (April 9th thru 12th). The visitors' itinerary will also include a tour of Virginia's premier Emergency Operations Center. The SAR visitors will be staying near Haymarket VA. Contact officers@trotsar.org for more information regarding this historic visit. This is an open press event.
