WALL, S.D. (AP) — Pennington County Search and Rescue will be hosting a missing person search and rescue exercise in the Badlands on Saturday.

The event will begin about 8 a.m. MT with responders mobilizing to the Sage Creek Campground. Responders will attempt to locate and rescue a “missing” subject.

Participants will be given a real-time scenario with the objectives of organizing and managing the search, preparing a search plan, completing mapping and GIS, mentoring incident management team members and performing the rescue.

Joining Pennington County Search and Rescue are the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, the Pennington County Type 3 Incident Management Team, the Badlands National Park Service and the Wall Fire Department.
