ICS 203 Organization Assignment List is prepared by which role?

• A. Planning Section Chief
• B. NCOIC
• C. Squad Leader
• D. Safety Officer

Answer: (B)

The Organization Assignment List is a planning document that lays out the incident’s organizational structure and who supervises each unit or element. It helps everyone see who is responsible for which part of the operation and ensures the command structure and resource assignments are clear as the incident unfolds.

The Planning Section Chief is the role that prepares this list as part of the planning process. They coordinate with unit leaders and other sections to reflect actual assignments in the incident action plan and to keep the organization chart current. While supervisors at the unit level (like the NCOIC) may provide input and draft details for their area, the formal responsibility for creating and maintaining the Organization Assignment List lies with the Planning Section Chief so the document aligns with strategic objectives and the overall IAP.
