The Ground and Urban Direction Finding Team Task Manual (“Task Guide “) is the primary training tool. This is a textbook of sorts, containing nearly all of the information an individual needs to acquire to become GTM-3, -2, -1, GTL or UDF qualified. The Task Guide is divided into numbered and lettered tasks that must be passed in order to achieve the desired rating. There are three categories of tasks: Operations (marked by an O at the beginning of the task designation), Planning (marked by a P) and Logistics (marked by an L). Tasks are grouped together by relevance, not by the rating that requires them. For instance, tasks O-0001 through O-0010 all relate to individual and team equipment, but not all of these tasks must be passed to achieve the GTM-2 rating. The task guide also contains the criteria for attaining each level of Ground Team rating.
A 24 Hour Pack is required for Ground Team members.
A number of online courses are required for Emergency Services. These include both Civil Air Patrol courses and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) courses.
