About Us

Saving lives in austere environments through search, rescue and education…

Founded in 2014 , Appalachian Mountain Rescue Team (AMRT) serves as a search and rescue (SAR) resource for the southern Appalachian mountains and beyond. AMRT is qualified in technical rescue modalities, including wilderness/backcountry SAR, snow and ice, and technical rock terrain, with a specialization in climbing-based rescue in all weather conditions. AMRT accomplishes its purpose through actual SAR operations, education and advocacy of best practices in search and rescue.



Our Team

– All members are doctors, medics and/or have extensive technical rescue training for lost person behavior, high-angle and low-angle terrain SAR operations.

– We do it because we love helping those in need!
