Incident Command System Field Operations Guide for Search and Rescue (English and German Edition)

What I wanted/needed. Excellent resource.

Really like the way this ties in ICS with Search and Rescue criteria. It really homes in on the specifics for the various positions within the SAR unit. It is well laid out and is packed with more info than seems possible in a "check list" format. Highly recommend for SAR management teams.

First published in 1996, Koester's FOG for SAR remails a useful one-volume reference for the SAR specialist operating under the Incident Command System. Yes, there are a few places where terminology has changed, but the basic lessons and information in the book are as valid today as in the mid-90s. Recommended for your library and your deployment bag, whether you're a field grunt or a base staffer.

Great resource book for search and rescue groups.

A must if you are in search and rescue. Very well organized, complete, lots of good information.

This is a great reference for both on-the-fly reference and training. As stated in another review, it is intended as a reference for folks in SAR leadership roles from Field Team Leader on up to IC and will only be of use if you have some ICS training and SAR experience.

Exactly what I needed as a search planner and Plans Chief.

Just what I needed. Very handy for field use and compliments the larger textbooks.
