Managing the Inland Search Function (MISF) provides the essence of what the first-on-scene Incident Commander will initiate, manage and document for Search and Rescue incidents from initial response through suspending search operations and demobilization of resources. This course provides a building-block foundation for both ongoing management of search operations and technical search planning for later operational periods.  Most searches resolve either using previously proven search planning tactics and management techniques described in the course or the more complicated search techniques discussed for longer missions.
