Also grab the "doc-68 Invoice" sheets from the same folder, so members can take them as they sign-in. Put them on a clipboard which you can find in drawer below the files drawer. Set the sign-in list and expense forms somewhere in the cab of the Mobile Command Post (or later on a table outside the Mobile Command Post). Ask everyone to sign-in.
