Subj: Clarification of Coast Guard ICS-210 Training for Auxiliary -08/18

   	1. ICS-210 Initial Incident Commander is a classroom course designed
for Single Resource Leader Type 5/Type 4 Incident Commanders. It is a
four-hour course based on the ICS-300 course but condensed and focused on
initial incident assessment, initial incident management (includes assuming
command, organization, and execution), and development and use of ICS forms.
Completion of this course by SURLs is a DHS mandate not a CG Headquarters.

   	2. As per ALAUX 002/07 this course or the full ICS-300 course is
required for Auxiliary coxswains, pilots (Aircraft Commander, First Pilot
and Co-Pilot), any member in the Trident Program or any other team/task
force leader determined by a Coast Guard unit Commander to have a need.
   
   	3. Both ALCOAST 042/07 and ALCOAST 106/07 required a completion date
of 31MAR08 for all Coast Guard personnel including the Auxiliary. There was
concern over the possible limited access for Auxiliary members when the
course was first made available. ALAUX 002/07 was issued giving no
completion dates but strongly encouraging single resource leaders to take
ICS-210 when the opportunity presented.  Realizing that the 31MAR08 deadline
has come and gone for ICS-210, CG-54212 in cooperation with the Coast
Guard's NIMS Program Coordinator and the Office of Incident Management &
Preparedness (CG-5331) were able to extend the deadline for course
completion until 31MAR09.

	4. The new deadline for completion for all applicable Auxiliarists
is 31MAR09. Successful completion must be entered into AUXDATA which will be
programmed to recognize the 31MAR09 deadline. Operational members who are
not compliant with coursework requirements by the deadline will be placed in
"REYR" and will not be issued patrol orders. 

	5.  Please direct any questions to your DIRAUX or BMC Russell
Woodill of CG-54212 via email.

	6. The purpose of this list is to keep Auxiliarists as well as all
other
interested parties abreast of current  developments, policies, manuals, etc.
All information contained herein and linked is OFFICIAL policy and
information.

	7. Internet Release and Distribution is Authorized.
