COMDT (CG-5RI) MEMO 3500 OF 23 MARCH 2022 B. COMDT COGARD WASHINGTON DC 101510Z DEC 21/ALCOAST 451/21 C. U.S. Coast Guard ICS Certification Board Guide, 2021 D. U.S. Coast Guard Incident Management Handbook, COMDTPUB P3120.17 (series) 1. This ALCOAST announces the 2021/2022 Coast Guard ICS Certification Board results, which convened March 28 - April 01, 2022 in accordance with REFs (A) through (C). 2. The Coast Guard ICS Certification Board was established in 2011 to recommend Coast Guard personnel who have demonstrated ICS expertise and proficiency at the highest levels for certification. As Type 1 and Type 2 ICS competencies have been promulgated globally by key industry organizations and stakeholders; Coast Guard ICS certification transcends the internal competency management system making the recipient an internationally recognized response professional. The Coast Guard ICS Certification Board was originally modeled after the National Wildland Fire Coordination Group's ICS Competency Review process. This foundation, in addition to the continued refinement efforts by The Office of Emergency Management and Disaster Response (CG-OEM), ensures all applicants are held to the highest level of rigor. 3. The 2021/2022 Board reviewed 102 applications resulting in 80 certifications recommended. COMDT (CG-OEM) looks forward to seeing the upward trend of applications for Type 1 and Type 2 ICS Certifications as our Service continues to support unprecedented interagency response operations. 4. The Director, Emergency Management, COMDT (CG-5RI), approved the recommendations from the Board and found the following members to have achieved NIMS ICS certifications as indicated below: a.

Recipients should expect to receive certificates electronically via the email address provided in their applications. The recipient's Servicing Personnel Office or Civilian equivalent should utilize the certificate to confirm awarded competency for official record entry. 6. The annual Coast Guard ICS Certification Board is a fully qualified board. The most common reasons that members are not recommended for certification include the lack of real-world experience in the position sought at the Type 1 or Type 2 level and/or the applicant's experience not aligning with the certification that is being sought per REF (D). To maximize certification opportunity, the Board is authorized per REF (A) to make recommendations based on the experience and capacity represented in the application submitted. This includes recommending a Type 2 in lieu of Type 1 certification and an appropriate alternate certification plainly evidenced in the application. 7. Each year, COMDT (CG-OEM) implements Board feedback to improve the application submission and review process as well as current guidance. Applicants and ICS Coordinators can expect to see process improvements as well as successful application tips detailed in the ICS Certification Board Guide annually. Furthermore, COMDT (CG-OEM) amplifies the information contained in the Guide each fall through webinars, sample applications, and announcements all posted to the COMDT (CG-OEM-2) ICS Program and Coordinator CGPortal Page. 8. Members seeking to apply for Type 1 and Type 2 ICS certification must consult their unit ICS Coordinator. Application guidance, including REF (D) and all applicable forms can be found on the COMDT (CG-OEM-2) ICS Program and Coordinator CGPortal Page: (Copy and Paste URL Below into Browser)
