people) Set up the Expanded Dispatch room (upstairs from RWC) if it hasn't already been done. The supplies and necessary equipment are located in the Expanded Dispatch Kit which is stored in the expanded closet. Prepare all records for transfer to Expanded Dispatch. EXPANDED DISPATCH OPERATIONS Once expanded is established, the following procedures are recommended, however they may be modified to meet any specific Orders for initial attack resources will be negotiated at the time of team transition. Orders for resources will be placed directly with their home unit. NOTE: Coordination with the Initial Attack Dispatcher on commitment of local resources is critical! All orders for tactical aircraft will be placed through the Initial Attack/Aircraft Dispatcher. This ensures coordination with local initial attack needs, provides for flight following services and simplifies airspace coordination. RWC will keep Expanded Dispatch informed about aircraft request status. Logistical aircraft ordering will be handled through Expanded Dispatch. Emergency rental equipment and local purchases will be placed with the appropriate procurement personnel (local purchasing agent or Buying Team). Expanded dispatch will assign request numbers, unless the IMT agrees to utilize ROSS at the incident. Expanded Dispatch will be responsible for travel arrangements for resources traveling from the RWC area to other incidents and during demobilization. Expanded Dispatch will be responsible for re-stocking the expanded dispatch kit. ORDERING PROCEDURES Ordering procedures will be the same as outlined in the National and Rocky Mountain Area Mobilization Guides. Every attempt will be made to fill orders from the most efficient source. Neighborhood Ordering (also see RMA Mob Guide Chapter 20, page 14) When local and cooperator resources have been exhausted, check with neighboring dispatch centers before placing the order up to the GACC. RWC’s dispatch neighbors include, Casper (CPC), Cody (CDC), Teton (TDC), Craig (CPC), Ft. Collins (FTC), Vernal (UBC), Northern Utah (NUC), Northern Great Plains (GPC), and Eastern Idaho (EIC). CAN Items that be ordered from neighboring dispatch centers include: Overhead (including Type 3 Teams), Crews, Supplies, Non-NFES Equipment, Engines, Type 3 Helicopters, SEATs, Lead Planes, Air Attack, Smokejumpers, and Smokejumper Aircraft.
