Book excerpt: "I should take the time to thank my fellow trackers and guntoters for watching over me...and especially Ty Cunningham, a superb comrade at arms and a tracker who knows no equal." -Mark Henry, The Hellriders Herein, lies the methodologies of following the various trails of man! The U.S. Marshals are the nations man hunters and the U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers were a breed all to their own. While every other Deputy U.S. Marshal was busy mastering the technologies of our time, the Scout-Trackers were busy mastering the ancient art of primitive tracking in modern times. Appearing as though from the bygone era of the 1800's, these modern U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers pieced together the footfalls of the criminal element in such a way as to solve the complexities of 100's of investigative cases. Some of the cases include murder, burglary, robbery, missing and lost persons, evidence recovery, and crime scene, cause of death, and animal kill site reconstruction, natural resource seizures, fugitive apprehension, and perimeter breach, access, and control. This book shows the details of how it was done by professional man hunters and how this legacy is still validated through the training programs of retired Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal, Cmdr. Ty Cunningham, former commander of the Alaska U.S. Marshal Tactical Tracking Unit and patrol captain of the Wyoming U.S. Marshal Mounted Tracking Unit. Cmdr. Cunningham has said, "In these modern times, I coined the term "scout tracking" and "scout-tracker" in the late 1970's, it was not until the mid-1980's when I began pushing the term forward professionally (while in the U.S. Army) that the term for what I did took form. I have spent my whole adult career in the U.S. Army and U.S. Marshals Service using my scout-tracker skills to solve hundreds and hundreds of man-tracking trails as I developed and led two U.S. Marshals Tracking Units. What is contained in this book is to be used as a Scout-Tracker Guide based on the most efficient and proficient man hunting tactics, techniques, and procedures on the planet. The U.S. Marshal Scout-Trackers, which I commanded, are the last of a breed." The U.S. Marshal Scout-Tracker tradition continues in the Government Tracker Program of The Ty Cunningham Tactical System (TTCTS)-HQ and Mountain Hawk Scouts.
