SDMRT is a California nonprofit corporation, a member of the nationwide Mountain Rescue Association, and a recognized leader in the field of Search and Rescue. We go anywhere we are called, including Northern California. Joint searches, which make up most of the Team's operations, are usually conducted with the San Diego Sheriff's Reserve Search and Rescue Bureau, other Mountain Rescue teams or other volunteer teams. The Team was founded in 1967 and has logged over 800 missions since then.
