Communications Unit Leader (COML)
Train-the-Trainer (TTT) (E/L949)
This course helps attendees establish the essential
core competencies required for performing the
duties of the Communications Unit Leader (COML)
during an all-hazards incident. This course addresses
all responsibilities appropriate to a COML operating
in a local- or State-level All-Hazards Incident
Management Team (AHIMT). These responsibilities
include the collection, processing, and dissemination
of information as needed to facilitate Operations of
Command, General Staff, and Unit Leader positions
within the confines of a Type III AHIMT. The course
is an instructor-led training program that supports
learning through discussion, lecture, and active
participation in multiple exercises. By requiring
attendees to bring a Communications Unit Leader
Kit to the instruction, the course provides a realistic,
hands-on approach to mastering the skills of
a COML.

Specific train-the-trainer (TTT) training should be
completed by personnel who are regularly assigned
to functional, support, or unit leader positions on
United States Fire Administration (USFA) or other
