Detached members are members of United States Rescue who are not near an area with an active United States Rescue Company.

The duties of a detached member are the same as that of normal members, with the only exception being that you will augment the main effort of a search and rescue mission in your area, be it with a volunteer search and rescue organization or aiding law enforcement.

To become a Detached Member, you must:

  • Complete the Instant Member application processes
  • Complete a personal information summary and send a photo
  • Acquire our required uniform and identification items
  • Be currently certified in CPR/First Aid/AED
  • Complete required online training
  • Acquire our tracking device (optional for first year members)

Detached members may be grouped together if in the same area, which is a reason we recommend our tracking device, in addition to be able to locate volunteers to assist in specific areas.

To apply to become a detached member, please visit our instant membership page.

We hope to welcome you to the United States Rescue team soon!
