Type 1: national or state team (National)

Deployed using 35 to 50 team members. The NWCG sets training national requirements for the ICS positions at the at the type 1 level. Type 1 operates on a rotational schedule through the US Forest Service.

Type 2: National or state team (Regional)

Self-contained and authorized at the national or state level for incidents. The NWCG sets training requirements. Involves 20 to 35 trained members. The US forest service currently operates several dozen type 2 IMTs.

Type 3: State or regional multi agency/multijurisdictional team

For incidents that extend beyond a single operational Period. Usually involve 10 to 20 trained members. Used when incidents extend into multiple operational., Require a large commitment of resources from a regional or state level, and require a written into an action plan. Typical events include tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, large public events. Type 3 teams are quicker to deploy to major, complex events making them the initial event manager until transitioning to a type 2 or type 1.

Type 4/5: Single jurisdiction or county level team

Normally used for events that exceed the local jurisdictions on scene command resources and last a minimum number of hours after dispatch. Examples multi alarm structure fire, hazardous materials leak, school violence event. Type 4 can be compromised of police and fire chief officers along with public works supervisors and EMS leaders.
