SAR Tech II Minimum Personal Equipment List
(Effective April 1,1998)
The following equipment is commonly compiled to form what is referred to as a
"24-hour ready pack". Such a pack holds those items that would allow the holder
to function in a safe, effective, and efficient manner during a SAR incident.
Some items may be carried on a belt, in pockets, or strapped to the person. This
equipment should be carried on all missions in rural or wilderness areas and is
considered the minimum amount. This equipment list may not be adequate for the
candidate’s response area and team guidelines must be followed. Consult a
physician for recommendations about analgesics and other drugs that you may
carry in the SAR pack.
