Any additional notes, etc.


  • Should always know "Who am I reporting to?"
    • If don't know, ask.
    • Report to only one person -- Unity of Command
      • not two different people or two different organizations, two different branches
      • not to both your team leader and your team leader's leader
        • give examples using ICS chart
      • "Am I reporting to you and no longer to ... ?" "I need to get a message to ... that I'm not longer reporting to that person."
    • No one knows who you report to.
      • "Who do you report to?" Follow the chain up until you find someone that can tell you who you should report to.
  • If all you find are people that don't know who they themselves report to ...
    • No chain of command
    • Have you tried using radio / phone to contact more senior personnel?
    • Ultimately need to organize yourselves


  • start with ICS chart
