I agree that all in SAR should start with the fundamental ground SAR skills,
then add a specialty - MSAR, SAR Dog, etc. - if desired. National standards
for SAR are available through ASTM F2209 (and related documents)
www.astm.org ... or the NASAR SARTECH II status meets the ASTM standards.
Going forward I anticipate the national standard for MSAR (in progress)
through ASTM will require meeting the ground SAR national standard, then
adding requirements specific to mounted searchers.
