USAR Teams are expected to be self-sufficient, around the clock for five to ten days of operational deployment (depending the level of classification) and work at more than one site, depending upon the USAR Team's classification. They will establish a Base of Operations (BoO) that will support the teams for the duration of the response and serve as the communications hub for the team's operations.

根据队伍测评级别，USAR 队必须自给自足完成 5-10 天的行动，同时可在 1 个以上的工作现场开展工作。队伍将建立行动基地（BoO）支持队伍开展持续响应行动，使其作为队伍行动的通信枢纽。
