It is accepted and understood that ICS forms are not required for documenting operations. In a pinch, a sheet of ordinary notebook paper will suffice, or the back of a paper plate. The benefit of the forms is that they '''''guide''''' NET volunteers to documenting the most relevant information and help them to accomplish their work. In this respect, ICS forms are not so much cumbersome paperwork as they are a helpful tool. | It is accepted and understood that ICS forms are not required for documenting operations.

Form 4, the Assignment Briefing, is filled out by the Team Leader when she/he is ready to deploy a functional team to respond to an item on the Tracking Log. On the front, the Assignment Log has spaces for giving the functional team the information they need to get to the scene quickly and safely. The functional team then records their response actions on the reverse side, and turn the form in to the Team Leader when they return to the NET staging area. The Team Leader reviews the reverse side, transferring relevant details to his/ her Tracking Log. The Assignment Briefing is then archived with the team’s Logistics section. | Form 4, the Assignment Briefing, is filled out by the Team Leader when she/he is ready to deploy a functional team to respond to an item on the Tracking Log.
