Course Overview
An initial action incident becomes an expanding incident when its scope, resource demands, or operational complexity exceed what a single supervisory level can manage within a single operational period. At that point, the ICS structure must scale — activating Command and General Staff positions, establishing Branches and Divisions, integrating mutual aid resources, coordinating with an Emergency Operations Center, and sustaining operations across multiple operational periods. The personnel who lead in those positions — Operations Section Chief, Planning Section Chief, Logistics Section Chief, Division Supervisor, Branch Director — require competency at a fundamentally different level than the initial action supervisor. ICS-300 develops that competency.
This training course builds directly on ICS-100 and ICS-200 to develop the intermediate ICS competency required of personnel who may serve in Command or General Staff positions — or as Division/Group Supervisors, Unit Leaders, or Branch Directors — during expanding incidents. The course is aligned with ICS-300: Intermediate Incident Command System for Expanding Incidents developed by the FEMA — Federal Emergency Management Agency Emergency Management Institute — EMI under the NIMS — National Incident Management System 2017 Doctrine, coordinated with the National Wildfire Coordinating Group — NWCG, the US Department of Agriculture — USDA, the Environmental Protection Agency — EPA, and the US Coast Guard — USCG. ICS-300 is the mandatory prerequisite for ICS-400 and all NIMS All-Hazards position-specific Command and General Staff courses including E/L 950: All-Hazards Incident Commander, E/L 958: All-Hazards Operations Section Chief, and E/L 956: All-Hazards Liaison Officer. The course integrates ISO 45001:2018: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems, applying Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control — HIRARC and Root Cause Analysis — RCA throughout.

Course Outline
Day 1 — Expanding Incident Concepts, Unified Command, and General Staff Roles
1. Introduction to ICS-300 and Expanding Incidents
1.1 Course Scope and Prerequisites
ICS-300 scope — intermediate ICS for Type 3 expanding incidents requiring full Command and General Staff activation
Mandatory prerequisites — ICS-100 and ICS-200 both required before attending ICS-300
ICS-300 as mandatory prerequisite for ICS-400 and all NIMS All-Hazards position-specific courses
Course developed with NWCG, USDA, EPA, and USCG per NIMS 2017 Doctrine
Minimum passing score — 75% on the final knowledge assessment
1.2 Expanding Incident Characteristics
Expanding incident — extends beyond the initial operational period and requires full ICS structure activation
Type 3 incident — requires regional resources, activates all Command and General Staff, and spans multiple operational periods
Incident complexity factors — life safety threat, resource requirements, political sensitivity, and media attention
Transition from initial action to expanding incident — recognizing when the ICS structure must scale up
Multi-operational period management — each period requires a new Planning P cycle and IAP
2. Unified Command for Expanding Incidents

Single Operations Section Chief — UC appoints one OSC to direct all tactical operations
UC decision-making process — consensus-based, with a defined process for resolving disagreement
UC documentation — a single IAP covers all agencies operating under UC
2.2 Multi-Jurisdictional Coordination
Single jurisdiction UC — multiple agencies within the same geographic jurisdiction with different functional authority
Multi-jurisdictional UC — agencies from different geographic jurisdictions responding to a shared incident
Agency Representative — assigned by each agency to advise the UC without decision-making authority
