By design,
there are two, ideally three, personnel assigned to each position
to accommodate sickness, holidays, and for the rotation and relief
of personnel. This allows for around the clock operations. A
comprehensive equipment cache supports the Team.
The HUSAR Team
is treated as a resource/compliment to the requesting agency.
This organization is another tool that is available as a whole
or in part to assist the requesting agency or organization that
requires the expertise the Team possesses.
