Which ICS section is tasked with developing and implementing the demobilization plan?

• A. Incident Commander
• B. Operations Section
• C. Planning Section
• D. Logistics Section

Answer: (C)

Demobilization planning is a planning function within ICS. The Planning Section is responsible for developing the incident action plan, tracking resources, and outlining how resources will be released as the incident winds down. This ensures an orderly, safe, and cost-effective reduction of resources and personnel. While the Incident Commander provides overall leadership, the detailed steps to demobilize come from the Planning Section, which focuses on preparing for and managing changes in incident operations. Operations concerns current actions on the ground, Logistics provides the necessary support to sustain operations, and Finance/Administration handles costs and procurement. So, the Planning Section best fits the task of developing and implementing the demobilization plan.
