New Mexico Search and Rescue Support Team
The mission of this Search and Rescue team is to provide communications support and other incident command system (ICS) support for base camp, vehicular search support (including 4 X 4’s, All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles) and location of beacons for downed aircraft anywhere in NM.
This Search and Rescue team is an all volunteer organization that responds to requests from the New Mexico state police for SAR missions any where in the state of New Mexico. The primary field of operations is in the greater Albuquerque area but the team will respond to missions anywhere in the state. Each mission is conducted under the Incident Command System under the direction of a state trained and appointed incident commander.
The team offers training in the areas mentioned in the mission statement above though out the year to its members to maintain their expertise in these areas. Missions may range from minutes (subject is located before the team can be deployed) to several days. The team responds to an average of 35 missions a year. The team is dependent upon yearly contributions from its members, corporations in the Albuquerque area and any donations that may be received from individuals that are aided by the team though out the year.
