Brief Description: Communications Unit Exercise for Communications Unit Trainees

Full Description: The COMMEX is a follow-on to the AUXCOMM, COML, COMT, INCM, INTD, RADO and ITSL training courses.  It provides an opportunity for AUXCOMM, COML, COMT, INCM, INTD, RADO and ITSL trainees to demonstrate proficiency and complete requirements in the respective Position Task Books (PTB).

Public safety professionals who have completed an AUXCOMM, COML, COMT, INCM, INTD, RADO or ITSL course must complete a series of competency tasks in their PTB as the next step in becoming a certified AUXCOMM, COML, COMT, INCM, INTD, RADO, or ITSL for their agency. In this one-day exercise, tasks are designed to simulate challenges Communications Unit trainees will encounter during an incident. The exercise can be repeated on a second day to double the number of trainees that are afforded an opportunity to complete their PTB. The number of Communications Unit trainees will be customized to meet the state’s needs during the scoping call and Initial Planning Meeting (IPM).

At the end of the exercise, recognized COMLs can sign off on COML, INCM, INTD, ITSL and RADO tasks within the PTB for trainees who have successfully demonstrated their proficiency at completing the task(s). Recognized COMTs can sign off COMT trainees. Recognized AUXCOMM can sign off on AUXCOMM trainees. If the requesting jurisdiction does not have qualified COMLs/COMTs/AUXCOMMs CISA will help the requestor identify qualified personnel to sign off the PTBs.

Customized support for this offering may vary to meet each state’s unique needs. Potential design options, outcomes, and deliverables may include:
Provide opportunities for testing AUXCOMM/AUXC, COML, COMT, INCM, INTD, RADO, and/or ITSL trainee proficiency
Promote state recognition and certification programs
Increase utilization of recently trained Communications Unit personnel
Integrate Communications Unit personnel into the Incident Command System (ICS)
Local mobile communications equipment and resources may be integrated into the COMMEX
