This course provides a broad overview of land navigation, use of compasses, pacing and distance determination and very basic topographic map information.
This course is intended for all emergency responders, including police, fire, emergency management, and parks & recreation personnel, who might be involved in a search incident during the normal course of their duties.

ICS-100 and ICS-700 are required as prerequisites.
This course is a prerequisite for participants to attend the Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) course. Participants must be at least 18 years old and 
affiliated with an ISARC member agency to take this course.
There are indoor and outdoor components to this class.
