This page will provide information and links to documents that explain how to get qualified in the various programs in the Department of Response for Surface, Air and Communications (fixed Land and Mobile units) operational activities areas.

Qualification Requirements for All Programs

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards incident management approach that:
- Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure.
-Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private.
-Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources.

Auxiliary members seeking to be qualified in an Auxiliary Operational Program, including Surface Operations, Air Operations, Fixed / Mobile Radio Facility Operators, must complete specific ICS courses.
