Resource orders should also document action taken on a request, including but not limited to:

• Contacts with sources or potential sources for the resource request.
• Source for the responding resource.
• Identification of the responding resource (name, ID number, transporting company, etc.).
• Estimated time of arrival.
• Estimated cost.
• Changes to the order made by Command, or the position placing the order.

Such detailed information is often critical in tracking resource status through multiple staff changes and operational periods.
