Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide a Complex Incident Management Team?
Complex Incident Management Team (CIMT)
Yes.
KDT offers a privately contracted Complex Incident Management Team (CIMT): command and general staff plus the unit leaders under them, organized on the NWCG complex IMT structure and staffed to NWCG and NIMS qualification standards, contracted from KDT as a whole team or as the positions you need.
Typical configuration
- What it is
- A privately contracted IMT
- Structure
- NWCG complex IMT structure; NIMS ICS compatible
- Qualifications
- Personnel staffed to NWCG and NIMS qualification standards for each position
- Core team
- Built to the interagency CIMT configuration, expanded as complexity requires
- Operational period
- Planning cycle and Incident Action Plan every operational period
- Contracting
- Contracted from KDT directly
A Complex Incident Management Team runs the largest and most demanding incidents. Under the NWCG complex IMT model, the team is the command staff (Incident Commander, Public Information, Safety, Liaison) and the four general staff sections (Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration), with the unit leaders and specialists that make each section work.
KDT's CIMT is a private team. The interagency CIMTs that federal wildfires use are selected and rostered each year by the geographic areas and mobilized through the agencies' own ordering channels. KDT's team is separate from those rosters: a privately contracted IMT that you contract from KDT directly, organized the same way and staffed with personnel who meet NWCG and NIMS qualification standards for the positions they fill.
KDT builds its team to the interagency CIMT configuration, with every position meeting current NWCG qualification standards, and adds positions as the incident's complexity requires. You can contract the whole team, a section, or the positions your own organization is short.
Because KDT also supplies equipment and logistics, a KDT team can arrive with what it needs to run, such as communications, power and sanitation, or plug into infrastructure that is already there.
Available as
- Full Complex IMT (command, general staff and unit leaders)
- Command and general staff only

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide a Complex Incident Management Team?
Yes. KDT offers a privately contracted CIMT, organized on the NWCG complex IMT structure and staffed to NWCG and NIMS qualification standards, as a full team, a section or individual positions.
How do I get KDT's IMT?
You contract it from KDT directly, as a full team, a section or individual positions.
What is a private incident management team?
An incident management team that a company supplies under contract, rather than one assembled from agency rosters. KDT's is organized on the NWCG and NIMS ICS structure and staffed with personnel who meet the qualification standards for their positions.
Can I contract only a few positions instead of a whole team?
Yes. You can contract the whole team, a section, or single positions such as a Situation Unit Leader or several Division Supervisors to fill out your own organization.
Is a complex IMT only for wildfire?
No. The structure is NIMS ICS, so the same organization works on hurricanes, floods and other all-hazard incidents. For non-fire incidents we staff to NIMS and FEMA NQS position titles.
