SARTECH II Testing Spring 2014
K9SARK Team members and Rogers County Oklahoma Sheriff's Mounted Unit Members test for their NASAR SARTECH III and II certifications during the fall of 2012. This is a national certification with only a handfull of search teams in the state obtaining the title. The certification requires a written test of general SAR skills along with hands on testing for map & compass, rescue rope skills and man tracking. A pack check follows the written test. A searcher must have and carry all the equipment listed by NASAR in a 24-hour ready pack.

The NASAR SARTECH II certification is awarded only after successful completion of a written test and a skills test conducted over 3 days. Team members must carry a 35-40 lb pack with their rescue gear inside while navigating a compass course. They must learn to read a topo map and conduct line searches along with mantracking skills. Only after completing all sections successfully are they new SARTECH II's !
