General Staff
The General Staff includes Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administrative responsibilities.
These responsibilities remain with the IC until they are assigned to another individual. When the Operations, Planning, Logistics or Finance/Administrative responsibilities are established as separate functions under the IC, they are managed by a section chief and can be supported by other functional units.
- The Operations Staff is responsible for all operations directly applicable to the primary mission of the response.
