person(s), regardless of the outcome of the search, unless it
results in a subsequent rescue or body recovery.
Assistance - when the team gives assistance to a person
suffering from non-serious injuries in a situation which they

of the team, or when the team commences a rescue effort for
an injured or cragfast casualty who is eventually airlifted
prior to the team's arrival.

when the team is called out but stood down prior to any search
