The target audience for this course is for individuals who may assume a supervisory role in expanding incidents or Type 3 incidents. NOTE: During a Type 3 incident, some or all of the Command and General Staff positions may be activated, as well as Division/Group Supervisor and/or Unit Leader level positions. These incidents may extend into multiple operational periods.

This course expands upon information covered in the ICS-100 and ICS-200 courses. These earlier courses are prerequisites for ICS-300.

The course objectives are as follows:

• Describe how the NIMS Command and Management component supports the management of expanding incidents.
• Describe the incident/event management process for supervisors and expanding incidents as prescribed by the Incident Command System (ICS).
• Implement the incident management process on a simulated Type 3 incident.
• Develop an Incident Action Plan for a simulated incident.
