Una,
For most of the good reasons already mentioned we do not sent out single
searchers alone. If we end up with an odd number of searchers we send a
three person team. May times on hasty searches while working major trails
we will be instructed to check crossing trails to 200 yards. This is about
the only time we split a team and this is with the clear understansing while
alone they will not leave the trail and not exceed the mission limit. I have
noticed when this is being done the teams seem to do a lot more chatting on
the FRS radios .
