Special Delivery Considerations

NWCG training materials are being updated to reduce redundancy and conflict among overlapping documents. Course-specific student workbooks will be replaced by standards-bearing NWCG publications - the documents that actually guide operations. Instructor guidance will be integrated into PowerPoint presentations rather than located in separate documents. Instructors may use the instructor guide file (exported from the PowerPoint presenter notes), view the notes in presentation mode, or export the notes into the desired format.

Major changes for the 2021 P-310 revision include:
Course Objective revised to focus on position skills for specific assignment tasks.
Unit Topics sequence reordered to mimic an assignment from dispatch to team close-out.
Instructor guides were integrated into the PowerPoint presentations and may currently be downloaded as a separate document while this concept is being introduced.
The course CD was replaced with web-based content located under the Course Materials tab on the P-310 page.
