Logistics keeps the incident fed, housed, supplied, connected and moving. On a wildfire that means a Logistics Section Chief over a support branch (supply, facilities, ground support) and a service branch (communications, medical, food), with managers and technicians under each unit.
KDT staffs these positions with personnel qualified to the standard the incident requires and follows the host agency's ordering and qualification requirements. What sets KDT apart is that it also supplies the things logistics manages: base camps, kitchens, sanitation, power, lighting, radios, fuel and vehicles.
