When looking at both the National Incident Management System principles and practices and the National Incident Management System Intelligence/Investigations Function Guidance and Field Operations Guide, we see a lot of similarities. They both break down each functional area's responsibilities. The book goes into better detail for all these sections, but the Field Operations Guide does a great job pointing out the primary information. For someone who is researching the National Incident Management System, the book would be a great information guide. The Field Operations Guide is designed for a reference guide for individuals who practice Indcent command systems. The book has ICS forms to look at, like initial briefing ICS 201. The Field Operations Guide does not have forms. Overall the book has some much more information about the National Incident Management System. Lastly, I like that the book explains why we have the National Incident Management System. "On February 28, 2003, President George W. Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-5, Management of Domestic Incident, which directs the secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS)"(Walsh,2012).

NIMS has many different incidents that they have to be prepared to do and they need all of their units to know their function. Internal and External responsibilities are also explained in detail. Under NIMS, Sections may be organized into Branches, Groups, and Divisions to meet the needs, scale, and complexity of an incident or event. If necessary to manage Divisions are established as needed. The Branches are also explained in the sections. The functional idea of intelligence and investigations activities, Groups may be established representing specific mission areas. Section Chief can create as many Groups in the Section and choose a Group Supervisor for each individual Group.
