ICS 201-3 - Current Organization
The ICS 201-3 Current Organization provides a structured view of high-level personnel working on the incident, during the initial response phase. This organization chart documents the chain of command which should be established early as early as possible in an incident. It lists the current ICS positions and each person assigned to that position. For help using general form functions (e.g. Create/Open Version, Save, etc.) and accessing preloaded versions, see the General Form Functions page.
