(RCDM)
JOB AID, J-253 INTRODUCTION
The Receiving and Distribution Manager has been
identified as a position within the Incident
Command System (ICS). The J-253 job aid, which
supports this position, is part of the National
Wildfire Coordination Group's (NWCG), Wildland
Fire Suppression Curriculum. The subjects within
the performance based curriculum may be
administered by either an instructor led formal
training course or by the use of job aids. It is highly
suggested that the trainee have previous incident
experience. Forklift certification may be required
per agency policy.
Job aids are "how to" books that assist an individual
in performing specific tasks associated with a
position. They may be used by an individual, in a
trainee position, who has met all of the
prerequisites, but has not completed the position
task book for that position. They are also used after
the individual has become qualified, as an aid or
refresher in doing the job.
Note: Additional logistics information can be
obtained from the National Logistics website at
www.fs.fed.us/logistics. 5
The performance based qualification system
stipulates that an individual must complete a
Position Task Book prior to becoming qualified for
that position. Refer to the "Wildland and
Prescribed Fire Qualification System Guide, PMS
310-1" for the established standards for this
position. It is recommended that this job aid be
issued when the position task book is initiated.
This job aid has been developed by an interagency
development group with guidance from the National
Interagency Fire Center, Fire Training under
authority of the NWCG, with coordination and
assistance of personnel from the following
