context_page_description: The Grupos de Rescate e Intervención en Montaña of the Spanish Civil Guard are the successors to the old Skiing-Climbing Groups founded in 1967. Their main functions are mountain rescue and cave rescue, and police work in mountain conditions.
context_section_description: This centre, under a qualified Civil Guard commander, is responsible for specialist education of mountain service personnel.  It is located at Candanchú (Huesca).  The training program lasts 10 months and includes Survival and Movement in the Mountains, Caving, Cave Rescue, Rock-face Rescue, Topography, Downhill and Mountain Skiing, Rock- and Ice-Climbing, and Mountain Sports, as well as first-aid training.   This is the only centre in Spain to provide mountain-rescue training recognised internationally by the International Commission for Alpine Rescue.
  The centre has provided training for mountain service staff from other countries, and works together with the French Gendarmerie and the Italian Carabinieri.  Staff from the Fire and Civil Defence staff receive training there, as do medical doctors taking the CUEMUM course in mountain medicine.
