Welcome

The Computer Technical Specialist Task Group was created to provide quality information concerning the use of computer infrastructure standards in both wildland management and all-risk assignments of an Incident Management Team. It is our desire to standardize the tools and approach used by CTSP's on an assignment as well as provide useful tools such that our time can be used more efficiently.

Objectives

  • Develop and recommend standards for incident-base hardware/network infrastructure for adoption by NWCG.
  • Define, document, and maintain standards for the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the Computer Technical Specialist (CTSP) position for incident support.
  • Recommend security protocols to the IRMWT, that align with IT industry and participating agency standards.
  • Provide awareness and information on new and emerging technologies for incident support.
  • Work to ensure coordination with all NWCG Working Teams, PMO, Federal and State agencies at all levels to provide proper and efficient use of computer infrastructure in the support of incident management.
