The ICS (Incident Command System) functional area that arranges for resources and needed services to support the achievement of the incident objectives is the Logistics section.

- Operations: Conducts tactical operations to implement the plan and accomplish objectives.
- Planning: Prepares the Incident Action Plan, collects and evaluates information, and tracks resources.
