Description | This unit covers the competency required to prepare and develop Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) task force plans for the deployment of a USAR task force.

A person performing this role operates a component part of the task force management team. A USAR task force leader is responsible for the management of a task force under his or her command.It is recognised that a USAR task force will operate within the command and control system established by the organisation within the legislative authority for the incident, which may not be the Australasian Inter-service Incident Management System (AIIMS) or the New Zealand Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS). However, the USAR task force will operate in accordance with AIIMS or CIMS and will plug into the command and control system used by the host organisation.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
