Every Cibola member who intends to deploy on field missions is expected to meet our minimum training standard within a year of joining. It also provides liability and accident insurance for mission activities. No other type of insurance coverage is provided. It varies by team. Of course, the gear and clothing can get expensive, and radios are the most costly item.
Most teams have members who possess skills in more than just the team specialty.
We have a few links to these other teams' websites on our Other Interesting Web Sites page. Our primary specialty is groundpounding - searching on foot. Our secondary specialty is litter evacuation. Since more than half the team members own 4-WD vehicles, we also provide search capabilities using those vehicles. Certain individuals on the team have other SAR skills, such as technical rescue and dog handling.
