For example, let’s say that a Team Leader sends one functional team to conduct search and rescue in a house (tracking number #001) and another functional team to establish radio communication (tracking number #002). Any forms associated with those respective missions (e.g. a medical treatment log or an assignment briefing) will also include their mission tracking number. Later, when reviewing documents, a Team Leader knows that any document with the number “#001” on it is associated with the house search and rescue mission. | For example, let’s say that a Team Leader sends one functional team to conduct search and rescue in a house (tracking number #001) and another functional team to establish radio communication (tracking number #002).

The Documentation Unit should have a document box as part of their basic kit. The box is used for storing both blank and completed documents, and is durable enough to keep them safe and dry. PBEM will purchase one document box for a team; to request one, the Team Leader should use the request survey HERE and indicate that they need a document box. | |||
Document boxes come in different shapes and sizes. A Team Leader or Documentation Unit should research what they think they need and make that request to PBEM. | |||

When PBEM first released the NET ICS Forms, there was a "standard packet file" that included the minimum recommended number of each form that NETs could download and print. However, that standard packet has been discontinued in favor of giving teams an opportunity to decide how many of each form they need and requesting that from PBEM instead. | |||
PBEM has a NET ICS Forms request sheet at '''[https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/1c4c750a8edd4017a75725b92377f9c4 THIS LINK]'''. A NET Team Leader can use the request sheet to order ICS Forms and have them delivered to one address. The following policies should be noted when requesting forms: | |||
* '''Only a NET Team Leader can make a request.''' The TL should order all forms needed for one team and then distribute the forms to Team Members. PBEM will not complete orders for individual Team Members. | |||
* '''PBEM staff complete orders once every two months''' unless you indicate you need a rush on this request (checkbox at the bottom of the form). Non-rush orders are processed on the last days of February, April, June, August, October, and December. | |||
* '''A rush order still needs a week''' for printing and mailing. | |||
* Order fulfillment is subject to available PBEM budget resources. | |||
* Forms designed as double sided will be printed as double sided. | |||

The most important forms to a NET are forms 1 through 4. Forms 5 through 8 supplement work at specific stations (e.g. radio, medical, logistics, etc). Any form filled out and no longer of use should be kept for handing in to PBEM. | The most important forms to a NET are forms 1 through 4.
