Notes
Task force two is tasked to conducting general
operations and rescue. This means that the unit is
trained to repel from a helicopter to a ground object.
Once on the ground they conduct rescue operations
and extrication. The can lift victims to the helicopter or
call for ground transport. Task force Two works as a
ground unit as well when needed.
Urban search and rescue also known as USAR, or Urban SAR  involves the location, extrication, and initial medical
stabilization of victims trapped in confined spaces. Structural collapse is most often the cause of victims being trapped,
but victims may also be trapped in transportation accidents, mines and collapsed trenches. In 2007, USAR was legally
defined and English fire and rescue services were required by law to deal with An emergency involving the collapse of
a building or other structure.[2]

Urban search-and-rescue is considered a multi-hazard discipline, as it may be needed for a variety of hazards including
earthquakes, cyclones, storms and tornadoes, floods, dam failures, technological accidents, terrorist activities, and
hazardous materials releases
