Will leadership training be recommended or required in the NWCGs Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System Guide (310-1) system?
The Leadership Committee made specific recommendations to the Incident Operations Standards Working Team (IOSWT) regarding leadership course requirements for certain positions. In general, the recommendations supported some requirements for leadership training for certain positions in the Operations and Command functional areas. This is due to the fact that the highest levels of risk are associated with these positions. The IOSWT considered the Leadership Committee’s recommendations and decided not to make any leadership training required for any positions in the current (2005) version of the PMS 310-1.
