CLARIFIED ICS REQUIREMENTS

ICS UPDATE

Incident Command System

This is further clarification on the ICS
requirements for Auxiliarists.

Members who provide operational support to the Coast Guard (participants in surface and air operations, operations planning, communications watchstanding, fixed/mobile radio facility operators and port security or marine safety programs) and Auxiliary leaders (unit leaders and staff officers in operations, communications, aviation or marine safety) should have completed the IS 100 and IS 700 by 30 June 06.

Members in higher leadership positions (Division Captain, Vice Captain, and Division Staff Officers as out-lined above) or single resource leaders (Coxswains, pilots, members qualifying in the Trident program or any other team/task force leader) should have completed IS 200 and 800 by 30 September 06.

If the member has not completed the required coursework, he/she should not participate in any Coast Guard exercise, drill or response event. Members seeking to qualify in an operational program must complete courses appropriate to the position prior to certification by DIRAUX.

Members must be fully compliant with the requirements listed above by 31 December 2007. Failure to complete the requisite coursework by this date will preclude their participation in the program for which the coursework was required.

Operational members who are not compliant with coursework requirements will be placed in “REYR” and will not be issued patrol orders. Eligibility for elected or staff officer positions will require completion of ICS coursework as described above.

ICS-210, Initial Incident Commander, is a classroom course designed for single resource leaders. This 4-hour classroom course will be required for coxswains, pilots, any member qualifying in the Trident program or any other team/task force leader.

Given the limited access to this course, no date for completion has been determined. Single resource leaders are highly encouraged to take ICS 210 if the oppor­tunity is available.

FROM CHIEF DIRAUX
