The Annual Fund helps cover the costs of conducting high-risk search and rescue operations.
The annual fund allows us to keep the lights on. Our recruiting office, USR mobile command centers, and other resources required to remain mission capable and conduct operations.
Training is a key function that separates United States Rescue from its peers. Our training area in Lund, Utah offers volunteers and staff the opportunity to conduct intense focused training for rescue operations.
Funds are utilized to maintain our servers, conduct real-time GPS tracking of rescue personnel, equipment, and customers. Additionally, our in-house VR flight training is also possible thanks, in part, to the annual fund.
Our volunteers are required to obtain and wear our uniforms and equipment, rapidly identifying them as a search and rescue unit member. The annual fund assists with material acquisition for members needing assistance.
