4 months ago With Castlegar SAR we leave our team names intact for the duration of the task assignment. Sometimes we will have an additional team that is nearby amalgamate with the rescue team in order to provide additional medical support or manpower to facilitate a carryout. Even then we would just reuse one of the teams names unless we created new task assignment.
So I think for us option 2 is the simplest, as in don't complicate things and let the radio operator handle it.

Recent callsign conventions for NCSSAR have been changing a bit to mimic other teams.
This should all be clarified and confirmed with the unit leader.
There are two changes in question:
- The main change is that the first team to arrive at the subject should assume control of the scene (e.g. establish a 'mini-IC' to manage incoming resources etc.) and should prepend the word 'rescue' to their callsign.
So, if team 104 is the first to reach the subject, they become 'team rescue 104' or just 'rescue 104'.
- Also, the lead medical person should use a different callsign, such as '104 medical'.
How can radiolog be enhanced to handle these cases?
An idea for 1) is to 'set a flag' on team 104, which would visually highlight that team's tab, and would prepend 'RESCUE TEAM:' or such to each entry as long as the flag is set.
For 2), it seems like no extra handling is needed - that the first call from '104 medical' should result in a new callsign / new tab '104med' or such. Possibly set a similar flag for that callsign. This is all up to the radio operator to do - either change callsign if the radio has called in before, or, set callsign if it's the first call from that radio.
