Although many of our Unit members do go in the field as ground, 4x4, Mountain Bike resources etc., OSU was established to fulfill our mission statement as well as provide a place for those members of SCVSAR (new & established) wanting to contribute to mission success without exposing themselves to the physical rigors of field assignments.
