[Organized Rescue] The Field Rescue Leader has overall command of the rescue effort. He/she may be the First Party Leader and have control from the beginning of the search effort, or arrive with a subsequent party and take over responsibility from the First Party Leader. ... The Field Rescue Leader maintains control of the entire field operations of the rescue, and is the one with a view to the "big picture". With a large enough rescue team, this is best accomplished by taking a back seat to the actual searching, and positioning oneself in a suitable location to think clearly watch the rescue unfold. 1, record 1, English, - field%20rescue%20leader
