NWCG COMT TASKBOOK PDF
In October 2020, the format of this publication transitioned from a PDF document to a web-based format. Position qualification requirements are located on the individual position pages of the NWCG Position Catalog. NWCG recognizes the member agencies’ authorities to jointly define and accept local position qualification requirements for local wildland fire incidents. These requirements may be augmented to meet agency-specific needs, but augmented requirements may not be imposed upon cooperating agency personnel. The NWCG member agencies develop these requirements and agree to meet them when providing resources for national wildland fire mobilization. The NWCG Standards for Wildland Fire Position Qualifications establishes minimum NWCG position qualification standards for training, experience, physical fitness, and currency for national mobilization to wildland fire incidents.
