Demobilization Responsibilities
Demobilization planning is informal and is executed by the Incident Commander, who follows agency protocols. However, on a complex incident, a formal demobilization plan and process should be followed. The chart below summarizes demobilization responsibilities on a complex incident.
A hierarchy chart: The incident commander is at the top of the hierarchy. Command approves resource orders and demobilizations. The hierarchy chart breaks off into 4 categories: Operations Section, Planning Section, Logistics Section and the Finance/Admin Section. Operations identifies operational resources that are or will be, excess to the incident and prepares list for Demobilization Unit Leader. Planning develops and implements the Demobilization Plan. Logistics implements transportation inspection program and handles special transport needs. Finance/Admin processes claims, time records, and incident costs, and assists in release priorities.
