The system uses an identification tag (102) with a serial numbe r worn by each individual of the group, has means for communication (104 and 105) with each tag as it moves with the individual through the environment a nd means (107) for using the communication to determine the position of the tag in the environment. The system also uses strategically placed identification stations (108) distributed within the environment for users to activate a request that the system locate members and for displaying a map indicating t he location of members of the group.
