INTELLIGENCE LEAD (INTL)

This is a journeyman level program with a target group to include personnel in dedicated Intelligence positions or individuals desiring to gain expertise in those areas of the Intelligence function that go beyond mere reporting. The focus here is on maintaining weather stations, interpreting weather and climatological data, analyzing NFDRS data for short and long-range outlooks, using mapping software, ROSS, and other programs to provide operational decision support for MAC groups and other fire managers. Qualified personnel would be available for nationwide mobilization to provide enhanced Intelligence functionality for those offices requiring additional staffing / coverage due to workload, and position vacancies.  The Intelligence Training Committees intent is not to develop a training course, but rather to develop a task book for qualification purposes.
