Levels of Briefings

There are three types of briefings/meetings used in ICS: staff level, field level, and section level.

  • Staff-level briefings are delivered to resources assigned to nonoperational and support tasks at the Incident Command Post or Base.
  • Field-level briefings are delivered to individual resources or crews who are assigned to operational tasks and/or work at or near the incident site.
  • Section-level briefings are delivered to an entire Section and include the Operational Period Briefing.
