MSAR Educational Resources
Education, training, and experience is critical to success of everything we do. Saving lives and helping families reunite is some of the most important work in the world. Knowing what you’re doing as a MSAR helps you find more victims and helps keep you safe while searching. Mounted Search and Rescue is no different. The National Association for Search and Rescue offers tremendous opportunities for education, training, and experience. Joining NASAR is not required by the LCCO MRU, but is encouraged.
