Command Board vs Tactical Worksheet
In the fire service, “command board” and “tactical worksheet” usually describe the same tool. Here’s how the IDLH Tactical Worksheet® unifies both approaches.
Command Board
- Emphasizes span of control, divisions/groups, and benchmarks.
- Highlights accountability visuals (PAR/CAN cadence and time marks).
Tactical Worksheet
- Emphasizes checklist prompts at critical decision points.
- Supports high-risk, low-frequency events with concise flows.
IDLH Tactical Worksheet® unifies both
It’s a command board built around incident-specific checklists for Structure, Mayday, Brush/WUI, HazMat, MCI, ARFF, Dive, and Technical Rescue—so command intent becomes coordinated action.
