Has anyone ever been trained in Cave Rescue? What sort of training did you receive?
Does anyone have SOPs/SOGs for such a rescue?

Mountain:
I wonder how similar cave vs. mine rescue is. There are some different risks and concerns for rescue, but the issues of distance and confined space are overarching in both.
The National Cave Rescue Commission is an organization of the National Speleological Society:

I asked this question because, until I recently started caving, I was unaware of how involved some of these rescues can be.
I've also seen a few recent news articles where organized Cave Rescue groups have been successful, and others where the local FD preformed the rescue.
Anyone ever been involved in such a rescue?
