1. The 2019/2020 Coast Guard ICS Certification Board convened March 23-27, 2020 in
accordance with REFs (A) through (D).
2. The Coast Guard ICS Certification Board was established in 2011 to recommend Coast
Guard personnel who have demonstrated ICS expertise and proficiency at the highest
levels for certification. As Type 1 and Type 2 ICS competencies have been promulgated
globally by key industry organizations and stakeholders; Coast Guard ICS certification
transcends the internal competency management system making the recipient an internationally
recognized response professional. The Coast Guard ICS Certification Board was originally
modeled after the National Wildland Fire Coordination Group's ICS Competency Review
process. This foundation, in addition to the continued refinement efforts by COMDT
(CG-OEM), ensures all applicants are held to the highest level of rigor.
3. The 2019/2020 Board reviewed 88 applications resulting in 64 certifications recommended.

(Note 1) - Indicates conditional certification. Position-specific training must be
completed prior to final certification. Specific course requirements will be noted in
the correspondence sent to the member.
(Note 2) – Indicates recertification.
5. Recipients should expect to receive certificates electronically via the email
address provided in their applications. The recipient's Servicing Personnel Office
or Civilian equivalent should utilize the certificate to confirm awarded competency
for official record entry.
6. The annual Coast Guard ICS Certification Board is a fully qualified board. The most
common reasons that members are not recommended for certification include the lack of
real-world experience in the position sought at the Type 1 or Type 2 level and/or the
applicant's experience not aligning with the certification that is being sought per
REF (E). To maximize certification opportunity, the Board is authorized per REF (A) to
make recommendations based on the experience and capacity represented in the
application submitted. This includes recommending a progressive certification
(Type 2 in lieu of Type 1), an appropriate alternate certification plainly evidenced
in the application, or a recertification.
7. Each year, COMDT (CG-OEM) implements Board feedback to improve the application
submission and review process as well as current guidance. Applicants and ICS
Coordinators can expect to see process improvements as well as successful
application tips detailed in the ICS Certification Board Guide annually.
Furthermore, COMDT (CG-OEM) amplifies the information contained in the Guide each
fall through webinars, sample applications, and announcements all posted to the
COMDT (CG-OEM-2) ICS Program and Coordinator CGPortal Page. In 2020, this amplifying
guidance will include the difference between certifications, such as LOFR and CG AREP,
so members apply relevant experience to achieve those certifications.
8. Members seeking to apply for Type 1 and Type 2 ICS certification should consult
their unit ICS Coordinator. Application guidance, including REF (D) and all applicable
forms can be found on the COMDT (CG-OEM-2) ICS Program and Coordinator CGPortal Page:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/cgcpe/SitePages/ICS%20Coordinators.aspx/.
9. Submission timelines and procedures are located in REF (D). All applications are
due to local ICS Coordinators by December 1st, 2020 for ICS Type 1 and Type 2
certification consideration in 2021. The U.S. Coast Guard ICS Certification Board
convenes annually each March.
