For this week’s discussion, I am choosing management of objectives, from the seven principles of ICS. Early in my career, I was part of a unit that responded to stateside chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents. In 2015, an incident occurred where live anthrax spores were shipped from an Army facility to labs across the country. My Unit was tasked with retrieving that sample from a local lab, turning over custody to the FBI, and collecting dozens of environmental samples throughout the lab. This was a complex incident, with different stakeholders who all had their own objectives that needed to be completed. It was important to understand all of these objectives and to prioritize them in the most efficient way to complete the task. It was a balance of internal objectives and incorporating external ones. Managing objectives is a continual process. Objectives may change as you gather more information about the incident and as different agencies get involved. Keeping track of the task and their completion is a team effort. Being able to manage the mission objectives lead to everyone receiving the results they needed, outlined by their agency. The incident was resolved without any major issues and all objectives were achieved. While I chose management of objectives, I feel like I also made a good case for both manageable span of control, and unified command. It is a good example of how everything is connected and works together.
