Sections and Positions
The Sections and Positions screen provides a list of the positions in the Incident Command System and custom positions. This list is used to populate the drop-down lists used on many forms where Sections and Positions are assigned such as the ICS 203 Organization Assignment List and ICS 207 Organization Chart forms. There are two viewing and editing tabs within the Sections and Positions form; the process to make updates from either tab is the same.
