This course provides National Staff, Region and Wing Commanders, Operation Directors and/or Ground Directors an orientation/overview of the Ranger program.  Providing attendees with personal knowledge through hands-on experience of the training required for ground based operations of SAR missions, as well as the HMRS curriculum and operations.

The training received at HMRS is different from that of any other school in CAP.  ICS structure and principles are adhered to in every facet of the school.  While the majority of training at most schools takes place in classrooms, here you will learn by doing all of the tasks outside under mission conditions.  You will participate in a one-day overnight field training exercise testing all acquired skills along with endurance.

This course provides valuable information on how to develop a Ranger Program in your Wing or Region.  The course overviews the Planning, Management, & Operations involved in establishing a school.  The PA Wing Ranger Program has a long history of maintaining a high level of integrity and core values with an emphasis on developing future leaders.  You will see this conveyed through the leadership and commitment of our staff.
