Sector 2 Rapid Response Team

Our area on the Forums. 

Overview

  The Rapid Response Team of Sector 2 works through Lane County Search And Rescue, Explorer Post #178. a division of the Lane County Sheriff's Office.  It's purpose is to put members of Sector 2 in Post 178 to help boost it's numbers, and overall effectiveness.  The Rapid Response Team of Sector 2 participates in all meatings and trainings of Post 178.  It is a lot of fun but very intense, they handle many situations, and team members must be fairly mentally and physically fit.  The rewards are many though.  It gives us an opportunity to serve the community of Lane County, and to literally save lives.  We also do evidence searches with the police, which helps solve crimes.  It really is a wonderful, albeit intense, ministry for Sector 2. 

   Meetings are held the second and fourth Thursdays of every month (except when noted).  Meetings are held at the Sheriff's office in downtown Eugene Oregon.  RRT members usually meet at Sector 2 HQ and carpool to and from the meetings from there.  Once a month there is an Outing which usually is Saturday and sunday of one weekend.  Outings leave from the Lane County Shops at 8:00 AM one the Saturday morning.  RRT members usually meet at 7:00 AM at the Sector 2 HQ and carpool to the Shops.   

   Outings and Trainings are a LOT of fun, but they are also a intense workout.  They are usually pretty balanced between hard work and fun though.  On some occasions though we get rewarded, like the time we got to train with/ride on the Sherriff's chopper.  I definetly reccomend joining the RRT if you are a Christian of "tougher" construction, enjoy the outdoors, and enjoy adventure.

 History

   The Rapid Response Team started as part of the Jedi Training program.  The idea was to put Jedi, secretly, in Search And Rescue Teams in order for them to learn survival techniques, and give them another avenue in which to serve.

   The idea worked.  So well in fact that it was decided that it could possibly work as a C.A.A. outreach program through Civilian Ops.  The new mission was to take any volunteering personnel, not just Jedi, and put them in local Search And Rescue teams.  The program was also publicized to increase membership.  Later the program was transferred administratively to under the Jurisdiction of the newly formed Special Operations.  Since they handle operations similar to, and including, Search And Rescue, for the C.A.A.  Operationally Sector 2's, like all RRTs, is jointly operated by Civilian Ops, Spec Ops, and the Jedi Order.

   The Sector 2 RRT was the pilot and test example for the new RRT program.  Despite the innitially low membership numbers of personnel on the team, it was still deemed an overall success during it's test period.  This was due to the fact of how perfectly it fit the bill of what the C.A.A. was trying to accomplish.  It puts Christians in situations where they are really needed, and can prove the substance of their faith.  It also gives them the opportunity to show that Christians are tough and capable.

   Sector 2s RRT is used as a resource for the Academy that operates out of Sector 2 as well.  It acts as a vehicle for Jedi and C.A.A. Trainers to learn survival and search techniques.  Which they then pass on to other members of the organization.

   Sector 2 is currently looking for more members for their RRT, so if you are interested, or would like more information, feel free to Contact Us.
