TR calls end of operations in Turkey
Scout Team leader Josh Webster has reported back to Team Rubicon HQ that further TR medical teams are unnecessary. After spending three days surveying Search and Rescue efforts and conducting medical reconnaissance in rural villages around Ercis and Van, Webster has also called a halt to further operations by the Scout Team and will be heading back the United States soon. We believe the outcome of this mission reflects the tremendous value that rapidly deployable scout teams bring to TR; they both negate the need to mobilize costly full teams when need is uncertain and act as medical reconnaissance when need is certain. While other organizations deployed full SAR and medical teams immediately, Team Rubicon was able to make a cost-effective assessment while still providing value in parts of the response.
Thanks for going and doing a phenomenal job. Now that I am a new member I look forward to meeting some of the team.
