A major command function involves the IC using the situation evaluation, the event profile, and the forecast of incident conditions as the evaluation and decision-making basis to produce the overall incident _____________.

The overall strategy establishes if inside of outside operations will be conducted, and the IAP describes the tactical details and work plan that address and (hopefully) solve the incident problem(s).  The basic order of developement is:

Using the strategy as the basis of the IAP requires the IC to take the time that is required to consciously evaluate ________________________ and then use that evaluation to develop the overall operational strategy before starting operations.

Strategy first creates a very simple "think-before-you-jump" approach.  Overall operational strategy is divided into two basic modes:

Name five major factors and questions to consider in determining correct mode:

Offensive operations are conducted where incident conditions will allow workers to make a fast active attack inside the ____________.

During defensive fire operations, large exterior fire stream will be placed between the fire and _________________________.

During active defensive operations, __________ control becomes critical since firefighters should not enter the fire area.

We must operate with an ongong awarness that marginal is a situation and not another strategic mode.  Quickly completing ____________ and ____________ is the only reason that our troops should be operating inside of a marginal situation.

Effective management of the overall strategy by the IC provides the following benefits (name all five)

If the IC is not able to change the location and function of his/her resources, the operation is essentially (and bluntly) _________________.

Deciding on and then managing (and controlling) the overall strategy has more practical-achievable opportunity for determining overall operational and safety success of failure than does any other function.  The strategy function becomes the __________________ for the whole IMS.

Managing the incident within a conscious, deliberate inside/outside strategy attempts to keep the incident problems from killing the workers. Seperating the two modes keeps the workers from _____________.

What defensive means is that the hazard level of interior conditions exceeds the capability of the standard safety system we use to effectively ______________.

What safe means is that the conisistent application of our standard safety system will provide a two-way ticket into and out of the hazard area.  Our standard safety routine is made up of the following basic safety components (Name all five)

Automatically connecting and integrating safety with command becomes a simple, powerful way the IMS always ________________.

This risk management decision/plan becomes a very practical expression of our most critical organizational philosophy - how we actually conduct the trade-off between _________________ and ______________________ (lives/property) at service-delivery time.

The following is a risk-managment plan that effectively integrates into our regular IMS - the plan expresses a standard three-level risk approach to our workers doing dangerous, potentially fatal incident work:

A common risk-management reference is that we will conduct all safety operations in a ______________.

Simply, the IAP describes how we are going to actually attempt to ____________________.

Operating without an IAP may be a form of IC _____________.

An IAP also requires that the IC develop a plan before  committing _________________.

The IAP is based on the four standard tactical priorities that establish the major operational activities required to extend a complete, integrated effort.  These tactical priorities identify the four seperate functions that must be completed in order to establish the overall incident response (name all four in order).

The benchmark establishes pratical objectives that are simple, straightforward, and easy for the IC to concentrate on.  The objectives of each priority are reflected in the following benchmarks or complesions:

The IAP should be reviewed and updated after each tactical benchmark has been completed based on the standard _______________________.

Having IC#1 take the time required to consciously decide in the very beginning of operations if the troops will go inside or stay outside, becomes the position basis for worker _______________.
