Which ICS supervisory position title is used at the Division/Group organizational level?

At the Division/Group organizational level within the Incident Command System (ICS), the appropriate supervisory position title is Supervisor. This aligns with the ICS structure, where the hierarchy and terminology are vital for effective communication and operation during an incident.

In ICS, Divisions and Groups are used to manage specific geographic areas or functional tasks within an incident response. Each Division or Group is overseen by a Supervisor who is responsible for coordinating the resources and efforts of personnel within that specific area or function. This ensures that the incident response is efficiently managed and that all team members are working towards the same goals.

Utilizing the title of Supervisor at this level helps to maintain clarity and consistency in the chain of command. Other titles, while applicable in different contexts within ICS, are not used at the Division/Group level. For example, Managers may oversee broader sections or units but are not the designated title at the Division/Group level, and Officers typically refer more broadly to positions within the command staff rather than directly supervising operational components like Divisions or Groups.
