The
ADSAR Text is for those who wish to continue the education offered from
the FUNSAR text and course. This text was compiled from chapters
authored by many knowledgeable members of the SARTECH I development
committee. ADSAR is a NASAR
course and text designed to educate the experienced field searcher in
preparation for working as a crew leader on a search. The course also
prepares the certified SARTECH II searcher to successfully pass the
SARTECH I written and practical exams. In addition, this text offers
valuable information
that can be used in many aspects of search, some of which cannot be
found in other SAR-related materials. Emphasis is placed on small unit
leadership, land navigation, and search techniques and tactics including
the use of search dogs when joined to a crew.
