What Unit is responsible for developing the Medical Plan?

The Medical Unit is responsible for developing the Medical Plan as part of incident management. This unit focuses on providing medical support and ensuring the health and safety of personnel during emergency operations. It encompasses planning for medical resources, coordination of medical care, and establishing protocols for medical emergencies.

The Medical Unit operates under the Incident Command System (ICS) framework, ensuring that all medical aspects of an operation are accounted for and organized efficiently. This includes assessing the medical needs of responders and victims, deploying medical teams, and planning transportation and care for those in need.

In contrast, the Medical Branch would oversee operations related to multiple medical units if the incident is large or complex. The Logistics Section and Operations Section have their specific functions that do not primarily focus on the development of the Medical Plan, making the Medical Unit the most appropriate choice for this responsibility.
