The Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit (BORSTAR) is a specialized unit of the United States Border Patrol trained in emergency search and rescue. BORSTAR primarily assists injured or stranded migrants who enter the United States illegally from Mexico at remote desert locations. The BORSTAR national headquarters is in El Paso, Texas, and units are stationed in each southwest Border Patrol sector.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = U.S. Customs and Border Protection )〕 ==History== Officials in the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector asked for permission to start a rescue team to help agents and civilians who needed assistance. BORSTAR was created in 1996 in response to the growing number of migrant deaths along the Mexico–United States border. In 1999, a BORSTAR training academy opened in Tucson, Arizona, and in 2001, the unit added rescue dogs.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Border Patrol, Search, Trauma and Rescue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
