Latest on ICS Requirements

OCX is aware that ICS deadlines for Auxiliarists stemming from the Nat Implementation plan of Dec 04 are confusing. Below is the timeline which is outlined in pending Alcoast and the consequences approved :

ICS NIMS Training Schedule
     Course        A/D Deadline    AUX Deadline
ICS 100         31 March 06     30 June 06 (a)
ICS 200         30 June 06      30 Sept 06 (b)
    ICS 210 (c)    unknown         unknown
    NIMS 700        31 March 06     30 June 06 (a)
NIMS 800        30 June 06      30 Sept 06 (b)

Failure of any auxiliary member to meet 30 June 06 deadline will make them ineligible to participate in a CG exercise, drill or response event. After deadline, new members will not be certified as qualified in an Aux Operational program unless courses completed. This course is intended for all CG Auxiliary personnel who are determined to be "Direct Operational" during the PSI process.
This deadline is only strongly encouraged. There is no consequence for not completing course until 30 December 2007 when member will be considered REWK if courses not completed. This course is intended for all CG Auxiliary personnel potentially involved in response to incidents in a leadership role (see below for definition).
This is a four-hour course which basically covers the paperwork completion part of ICS 300. ICS 300 is not feasible for Aux members as it is a 4-day resident course and there are very few instructors available at this time (100?) and funds are limited. ICS 210 is still under construction and not available at this time.

A leadership role is described as, but not limited to, all incident commanders, command staff, general staff, branch directors, supervisors, unit leaders, etc, leaders of single resources, task forces, and strike teams (i.e. aircraft commanders, coxswains, boarding officers, LE and HAZMAT team leaders, federal on-scene coordinator representatives, pollution investigators, etc.)

NAV RULES

Ten Ways to Destroy Your Association

1. Stay away from meetings. Show up at meetings only if you have a real problem or complaint.

2. Decline office or appointment to any committee. Then, get angry if you are not nominated.

3. Insist on describing your organization In negative terms only.

4. Never prepare an agenda, never plan the details of an event, and never coordinate with affiliates. Espouse creativity, flexibility, and effectiveness under pressure.

5. Don’t do any association work if you can avoid It. Then, when the old reliables pitch In and get the job done, accuse them of being a clique.

6. If you do come to a meeting, don’t speak until the meeting Is finished. Then, criticize and say how things should have been handled.

7. Oppose all new programs as being a waste of the membership’s money.

8. When nothing new happens, complain that the officers lack Imagination.

9. Read your bulletins infrequently. Then, complain that you don’t know what’s going on.

10. Never introduce yourself to new members or visitors—make them come to you.
