Exercise Combined Approach

Coastguard Teams from Swanage St Albans and Poole came together at Studland this week for a large search and rescue exercise.

The scenario saw two “over due “ walkers visiting the area go missing.

Search teams deployed and found both persons but that was only the start with both having to be extracted from difficult locations.




There is someone in there somewhere !
Our thanks to ‘Dave’ who played a challenging casualty along with some realistic makeup to test the first aid assessments


Team members from three local Coastguard teams combine to form search teams.


The second extraction was a little more difficult and required a double rope rescue set up.


Working in difficult conditions the second casualty was recovered.

Twenty plus Coastguard Rescue Officers practising their skills.
