SUBJECT:
2023 National Interagency Mobilization Guide
Attached is the 2023 National Interagency Mobilization Guide. This Guide is written
to reflect the interagency needs of the user and formatted to accept local inserts.
The signatory agencies have directed the National Interagency Coordination Center
(NICC) with review and oversite from the National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group
(NMAC) to annually revise, publish, and distribute the National Interagency
Mobilization Guide by March 1, and issue errata to this document.
The National Interagency Mobilization Guide establishes the standards for
mobilization and demobilization of resources in response to wildland fire and allhazard events. It is the foundational document instituting overarching processes for
total mobility of resources.
Suggestions for modification of the publication can be submitted at any time during
the calendar year. The NICC will accept suggestions for changes either through your
signatory agency, through your Coordination Center (GACC), or through established
interagency organizations such as NWCG Committees, recognized interagency groups
(CGAC, ICAC, etc.), and functional areas (NIICD, RAWS, etc.).
The NICC will present all recommended changes to NMAC for their final acceptance
and approval. Explanation of the modification process, instructions on how to submit
changes, and the change request form are located on the NICC website located at
