Training

Training is essential to safe and effective Search and Rescue operations. Rosebud County Search and Rescue (RCSAR) volunteers train regularly to maintain the skills needed to support law enforcement during emergency incidents.

All training supports our mission to assist the Rosebud County Sheriff’s Office during Search and Rescue operations.

Training Focus

Our training program emphasizes the core skills required for Search and Rescue response, including:

• Land navigation and GPS use

• Search techniques and field operations

• Radio communications

• Safety and risk management

• Incident Command System (ICS) fundamentals

• Basic first aid and patient support

Training is designed to prepare volunteers to operate safely in rural and wilderness environments common to Rosebud County, Montana.

Readiness & Safety

Search and Rescue operations often involve difficult terrain, limited access, and extreme weather conditions. Ongoing training helps ensure our volunteers can respond effectively while prioritizing team safety, public safety, and coordination with law enforcement.

Law Enforcement Coordination

All Search and Rescue responses are coordinated through the Rosebud County Sheriff’s Department. Training is conducted to support established Search and Rescue procedures and the Incident Command System used during activations.

We do not self‑deploy.

Our Commitment

Rosebud County Search and Rescue is committed to maintaining a trained and prepared volunteer team capable of assisting during emergency situations when called upon.

We train so “That Others May Live”
