1. Command/Public Relations - these members are primarily concerned with the coordinating and running various community events during the normal course of operations, and for operating at Incident Command during deployments to include running communications, completing various mission briefings, and providing general support for field-deployed units.

2. Field Operations -these members serve our frontline mission in the field, and are deployed into the various wilderness and backcountry areas to act as searchers, navigators, and flankers, in the search for living subjects during rescue missions, and for human remains during recovery operations.

3. K-9 Operations - these members specialize in the training and handling of live-track and human remains detection (HRD) K-9 units, and are deployed in the field when the mission requires those advanced resources. They are also responsible for maintaining the certifications, trainings, and readiness of their K-9s.

Responsibilities

- Engage with the community in Public Relations events to raise SAR awareness, solicit for new recruits, and seek out donations for the unit
- Attend monthly trainings to maintain all relevant skillsets that support our mission, and maintaining various certifications required to be field-deployable

One weekend day per month (usually either a Saturday or a Sunday, rarely both) we meet for in-person trainings

Various PR and community events throughout the year, averaging about 4-6 annually
