Course Overview
Building upon ICS foundation courses, ICS-450 is designed to provide government and private industry emergency management and response personnel with a robust understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of an effective LSC on an Incident Management team. These responsibilities fall into two categories:

- effectively fulfilling the position responsibilities of a Logistics Section Chief on an ICS Incident Management Team.
