You're lucky to be in that kind of position. Many MSAR teams are still
wrestling with a transition from the traditional to contemporary and don't
have written MSAR standards, or even written ground SAR standards for their
region. Until those people see the value in the training, there isn't enough
support in the team to enforce training standards.
